The south has to catch up to the north as far as treating women with respect. I see a big difference how women are treated in the south. Ordered instead of asked.
This is the biggest bunch of BS I have ever seen. If anything women are treated better in the South. Apparently you haven't been around too much,
Too good a point to let go uncommented upon. Women rarely win rape cases. The crime shouldn't be that common in the first place. What's wrong with men that they can't abide by the law? At least 1/3 of college men said in a poll that they'd commit rape if they could get away with it. They sounded as though they didn't even consider it a crime. No concern whatsoever to the devastating trauma women suffer from this, that can derail their lives for years. What's wrong with people?
For being protected, we're not being protected very well.

This has absolutely nothing to do with anything the OP is saying. This attempt at deflection is extremely poor at best.

Scary, isn't it?
What's worse is the aftermath.
If a rape victim is lucky enough to get her case to trial, more often than not she's treated worse than her abuser. If the victim had not been where she was, doing what she was doing and wearing what she was wearing.................Really?
Not only does the victim have to carry the stigma of having been raped, she also has a lifetime of trauma to deal with.
What does the rapist get? Oh, maybe a little jail time, a fine. Maybe.
Yeah, I really feel like part of a protected class. Don't you?

It is a radically feminist country. It's awful for women who have male children, too.
Awful for women with male children? How so? I was thinking of creating a thread on this topic, in fact. Why are so many boys raised to thing the world revolves around them? Guys with a brand-new BA think they're experts in their subject, and somehow have the gall to lecture people who have been working in their field 10 or 20 years! Where does all this male arrogance come from? Why are mothers and fathers not instilling proper values in their male children? Is it mainly an issue of lack of involvement by the parents, boys are abandoned to be raised by their peers? What gives?
