The fact we, WE, have to protect ourselves is the real problem. How about parents teach their boys not to be rapists. Too much to ask??? Yeah I blamed the parents. Because that’s where the real issue lies.

It’s not just parents, it’s the whole narrative in our society that women (and POC, and LGBTQ, and disabled people…) are worth less. How do they insult a little boy? “You run like a girl.” Just look at how your president speaks to and about women. And there are hundreds of other examples.

I don’t disagree with the cultural impact BUT not every little American boy grows up to be part of the Cornell 7. Parents are the first line of growth, broader family next, family friends, teachers, church(maybe), and THEN broader society. Also let us not forget screen time. It’s complicated.
