What kind of fear mongering, warped and twisted Alice In Wonderland world have we dropped into where peopel claim men are not safe from women?

When I read the response I just broke out laughing. it really breaks the premise into little tiny pieces.

I have two excellent adult sons. Teaching them to respect women was a snap. I didn't have to buy any additional supplies.

There is truth on both sides of this one.

This makes me wonder why you feel that it's unfair for men to be criticized when they make women uncomfortable.

@brentan Not really, at least statistically. Sure, there are exceptions to everything. But falsely accused men and women is a small fraction of the truth. I taught 20 years, and yes, I was always cognizant of my surroundings when talking privately with any student, female or male, and always kept the door open, even with a single parent. I never saw any false reports of sexual misconduct (other types of minor falsehoods a couple times). Now, ask me how real misconduct in sexual abuse was handled. First time, male on males, and quickly the school acted after discovering a parent had known and helped hide it if the two male teachers underwent religious counseling with that parent. The other time male to female. It was reported to the Students Assistance Program and as a member, we immediately knew to report it as mandatory reporters. I drew the "lucky" straw and had to tell the boss. I got yelled at. Stayed calm and told him to shut up and do what the law requires. Then he calmed down, until I refused to name the annonomous source which was the law. I did get the source to come forward after the boss promised to be polite. The man was out the next day, the police contacted, and the source told me the boss was very polite to her. To which I replied, yeah, I took all his initial pissiness. All three perpitrators spent time in prison.

@ deb57 @Beowulfsfriend I think we would have to take it as a given that no false accusations are made by women. That being simply not possible, men should be careful. The MGTOW group, for one thing, attests to how men feel about their treatment by women. I agree the top priority is to teach men from a young age to behave differently.

Totally agree. My sons are very respectful and their little sissy would kick their butts if they weren't, lol. All my kids are grown and feel as i do: this whole politicised issue is being used to rally people who don't know the real statistics. B.S. responses like why didn't the women come forward immediately and crickets on why didn't the abused men come up earlier. Easier for evangelicals to hate on women and on Catholic priests (evil devils doing mind control)

Maybe it is time for them to learn how woman have Always felt!

I made the second choice as well, worked out just fine.
