You're not wrong! Also not super relevant here. This is like responding "all lives matter" to a black lives matter comment. Well, maybe not that bad, but I hope you get my point.

So men raping women is relevant to the topic of men receiving compliments, but women raping men is irrelevant to the topic of men raping women?

In a vacuum like that it sounds bad, yes. That wasn't the entire context though. What I do think women raping men is irrelevant to is the topic of women being too afraid to give compliments to random men in fear of getting assaulted. Which is the whole reason rape was brought up in the first place.

Like, the other comment said I marginalized half the population. I do not mean to. I know its an issue and more attention needs to be brought to it because too many people—especially other men—don't take it seriously at all and can even treat it as a good thing. I just don't think now is the time to bring it up.

but women raping men is irrelevant to the topic of men raping women?

Uh. Yes.

You are looking for reasons to be upset. Knock it off.

If you must hear me say it: women should stop raping men. There you go. Mission accomplished.

What a great way to marginalize half the population

(I copied this from my other comment, but it was very relevant to this one so I figured I'd say it here too.)
