(12,081 posts)Being a sensitive guy who cares about the feelings of a woman is considered sissy or gay. Some men also don't like it when they can't control women and tell them what to do as seen by how the republican men acted during the campaign calling Sandra Fluke a slut and saying that a woman's body can prevent a pregnancy after rape and if a pregnancy does occur it is God's will and that with modern technology there really is no situation in which the mother's life is in danger anymore. Rape victims are looked upon as gold digging sluts who are only out for money or revenge. Rape victims are still blamed for the way they dress like they some how brought it on themselves or that they deserved it. There is a pervasive disrespect toward women in this country. If we are to do anything about rape and domestic violence it is this cultural attitude toward women that must be addressed.
