(3,411 posts)And any other girls/women around them. It's incredibly stupid how guys think that they are separate from women and somehow higher when they wouldn't exist if it wasn't for a woman, nevertheless be the person they are now (if they were raised by their mom.)
Maybe we also need to encourage children to make more friends of the opposite sex, to prevent the sort of mentality in guys where they think about women so foreignly as to not care if they harm girls/women like this. It may be that males see their mother as their mother, not in the same category as other women, and thus the connection is not made, but if they had platonic female friends then they wouldn't feel as separate from the opposite sex and their idea of the opposite sex would be better, enough that chauvanist, misogynistic ideas in the minds of guys are much less likely to happen, thus guys are much less likely to rape and participate in things like this. Just an idea of mine.
