2. Your post reminds me of
A conversation I had with a rabid right-wing shipmate in the Navy. He blamed, get this, feminism for rape. Uh huh. He claimed that rape increased exponentially from the 70s on because men didn't feel compelled to "protect" women anymore due to "women's lib". Seriously. So many things wrong with that statement I knew not where to begin. I did point out to him that if it seemed as though there was a higher rate of rape it was probably due to more women reporting rapes because feminists had worked hard to remove the stigma on victims.
