Is everybody who minimizes rape a potential insensitive jerk?
I know this will be locked in a moment, but somebody had to ask.

1. No, it's those weaklings who don't trivialize it who are the problem. They're too sensitive.

Can't you be reasonable? If you were more stable, you might be invited to host a new group where all these rape threads can be sequestered so that they don't embarrass the rest of DU.

I've seen lots and lots of posts and OPs from men who are 100% allies of women's rights here on DU, and I appreciate it. Thanks, guys.
