Go read this. It's very well-written, and I honestly think the majority of men could do with reading it. Not because they're rapists, but because a lot of men honestly don't have a clue.
Also, this is in one of the comments:
When we talk about rape as something that happens to 1 in 6 women, it is something that happens to women. Oh no, women! You have a problem! A women’s problem! That has to do with women! What are women going to do to solve this problem?
Perhaps if we rephrased that as “one in sixty (or however many) men will commit rape in his lifetime,” the problem might start to look a little different to certain people.
So true.
