With disturbing frequency, atrocities make headlines in which men are brutally raped — sometimes genitally, sometimes with weapons.
In a series of attacks on Sunday, according to NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly, at least one victim “was forced to strip to his underwear and then tied to a chair opposite from the teenager. The teenager, at the direction of his assailants, hit the older male several times in the face and burned him with a cigarette. The assailants also hit the man with their fists and a chain, and sodomized him with a small baseball bat.”
While women are sometimes rapists, the incidence is comparatively rare.
Who or what is teaching or conditioning men to equate sex with subjugation, subjugation with masculinity, and masculinity with violence?
And to what extent does the Christian Right oppose efforts by public-health officials, social workers, and support groups to teach men forms of masculinity that resist violence and respect the sex and gender of others?

Why would you take what a bunch of minority-gang punks in the Bronx did and think it somehow applies to the whole male “race”?
UhHuh, I don’t. Rapes happen daily in the United States, between 1 million and 3 million per year. Rape is used by militant ex-gay pastors to “correct” lesbians. Child rape is protected by the Roman Catholic leadership and increasingly by Southern Baptists. Tyler Clementi was sexually violated via video.
Why do you act as though rape isn’t a serious problem?
Watch the video called “Tough Guise” by a researcher named, Jackson Katz. It will explain the answers to your questions.
Where do you get child rapes are protected by Southern Baptists?

Since a crisis in 2007, the SBC has continued to facilitate molestation and has refused to establish measures to protect kids, prevent molestation, and detect and prosecute offenders.

Uhhuh–go back and read the article. And this time try to ignore the voices in your head.
Mike A… you are mistaken, and obviously a Hater.
Although such people are self-identified “Roman Catholic” and self-identified “Southern Baptist”, they weren’t True Roman Catholic or True Southern Baptist. No True Roman Catholic or True Southern Baptist would ever, never do such a thing.
Sheesh. Next thing you’ll be bring up that whole lie about the slavery thing.
