Some of you will say you know this. But this goes further than just knowing. it's not just about saying "Oh, I know this!". It's about DOING. It's about lifestyle. It's about every day words and actions. It's about changing the world we live in, one word at a time, one action at a time. Over and over and over again, until it sticks.

delchi It's a great idea, and I also believe in it, however this message has to be sent in a less anti-male wrapper. Seriously, as a male after reading this I feel dirty for being male - and that's just as wrong as the wrongs that are described against women.


kathrynt When I was eleven, I was assaulted by a group of fifteen-year-olds. .....
You, on the other hand, feel bad because of something you read on the Internet.
You wanna re-think that claim that the latter is just as bad as the former?


Here is where I think some of the disconnect happened. The comments made were not trying to say you didn't know what it was like to be assaulted. A comment was made that expressed disbelief that you were comparing your feelings on reading the post to the harassment or assault of women described in said post, by quoting the relevant line of your comment even.
