"By all means, I am NOT a rapist, but I am certainly willing to be called a potential rapist to ensure women feel safe around me."

I agree! I think black people should also be willing to be called "potential thieves" as well, to ensure that
non-blacks feel safe around them. Great idea!

"Be it women I know in real life or strangers, I'd like them to know that any time they feel unsafe with me,
they can simply say to me that they don't want to be around me anymore because I might hurt or rape them."

Good boy! You've been trained so well!

Another great thing is when they call you a worthless piece of trash AND a rapist while you're whipped and chained to the bed.
Oh! Maybe that's just me and my fetishes but you seem like a man that would enjoy that too.

Xisor, you said something that tripped a connection. yeah i'm not surprised that it causes you pain to think of yourself as a potential rapist. I sympathise with that, because it is awful.

but women treat strangers with wariness because this is the risk they face and have faced since they were children, every single time they meet a stranger. believe me. it causes us pain. we would much rather not have to face that risk on a daily basis.

So help us out and work to end rape and dismantle the culture that blames the victim and excuses the perpetrator, so we don't have to meet Schroedinger's Rapist every time we meet a stranger.

Because that would be awesome.

Sorry for my bad english, I'm french and here's my response:

I am NOT willing to be called a potential Rapist, the same way I am not willing to be called a potential psycho knife-stabing murderer. Here's my analogy: Being a potential murderer implies that I should be controlled by police or psychiatrist to be sure I would not own a knife, even for vegetables and that I should wear a "tracking GPS ankle bracer" and report to police everyday so they would be sure I was not killing anyone. This would be the same with the "potential rapist", a REAL potential rapist should not be allowed to be alone with a woman or walking the streets unsuspected.

Ps. In your mind I may already be a potential rapist because I already asked a woman, in a bar if she would like to come to my house for cofee and she did! :o

Specimen128, I understand the language barrier, but I suggest you reread the thread, and other threads on the matter.

What I'm saying is that's sexism. The same way calling a black man a potential thief or an asian a potential dog-eater is racism. I don't see how this answer was "trolling" and if you dont see the connection I don't know what else I could say... This was a perfectly good analogy from "Karl_Marx" and what the first post did was AS MUCH offensive to me.

Specimen, bonjour!

I speak several languages including French, and I'm afraid you don't possess the English language skills to communicate properly in such a serious and mindful discussion. I think you are better off just reading right now, and maybe you can get a buddy who writes English better to help you write posts so you can participate and offer your own contributions to this thread.

So I will ask you politely to desist from posting further in this thread. Thank you, Mai

Never. I would not appreciate being called a potential rapist.

We're all potential anythings as strangers. Seems pointless to put an emphasis on rapists.

The title of this forum is sexist. Both men and women can rape.

As for the question itself? No, I would not allow someone to call me a "potential rapist" because it's an incoherent accusation.

Assuming you mean the thread, not the forum. No one's saying that they can't. The question is being directed to just men, but that doesn't actually mean that men are the only ones who rape.
Did you happen to read beyond the title at all?
