Someone is raped by a man? It's a woman's fault. A culture of vilification that drives rape victims to suicide (men, women, boys AND girls)? That no excuse not to report your rape.

And seeing it said earnestly is even worse.

And don't get me started on the men that goes "well, what has women done to, for example, stop male circumcision?!" Make campaigns to stop it yourself, you lazy ass! There's no one stopping you.
