A CALL TO MEN joins Mariska Hargitay of Law & Order Special Victims Unit and Peter Hermann on The Katie Couric show to discuss how to end domestic violence and sexual assault.
Sadly according to an article i recently read,the state i'm in, was number 1 for the 2nd year in a row for men killing women.I have no clue why,but something needs to be done.I can't hurt anyone that hasn't bothered me.I couldn't bring myself to hurt a woman unless i had no choice.
"Intoxication is not an invitation to have sex with a woman." So true. People need to start focusing on the women and telling them not to be raped, and instead tell the men NOT TO RAPE.
bleucheezy Comments like this and people like you are exactly why there needs to be more education on this. It is not the women's responsibility for being raped, it is the men's responsibility for not being able to keep it in their pants and taking advantage of the situation. An intoxicated person can't possibly give consent. If you don't get a clear consent from the person, then you are supposed to stop. it is YOUR decision and YOUR responsibility. Women are not supposed to be taught on how they can avoid situations like this and how not to be raped, men are supposed to be taught NOT TO RAPE. It is NEVER the woman's fault, no matter how much she had to drink, no matter what she was wearing, how she was behaving, it does NOT give you the right to rape her.
heidos7 First off, you're simply spewing feminist talking points straight from the mouths of Andrea Dworkin and her extremist male-hating cohorts (which I know you learned in your college "women's studies" group). So lets just be honest about where you're coming from to start with, mm'k? You blame males for all the problems in the world and probably all the failures in your own life. Let's also decide one other fact right off the bat before we attempt an honest discussion: Do you believe women are equals to men? Or weaker, naive, "handicapped" victims in need of special help? Do you believe women are consenting adults, capable to drive themselves to a bar or a party, drink responsibly and then return home safely and fully clothed like any other "adult" could? Or again, are women just poor, childish victims who cannot be held responsible for their own behavior around the opposite sex? Because you make women sound like the LATTER. It's either one or the other...you feminists can't have it both ways. Men are not psychics able to see into an adult woman's brain and know her blood alcohol level, when SHE is the one acting aggressively sexual toward him. This situation is so common these days! As are false allegations later when she gave CONSENT in the moment. I'm sorry that YOU perpetuate the "victimhood" of your own gender so much. Someday if you have daughters you might wake up and realize that girls MUST be educated on responsible drinking and other basics to protect themselves and not depend on the legal system to. "Equal" adults don't get a pass for personal carelessness. That is, IF you actually believe women CAN be responsible, liberated adults instead of reckless juveniles trying to drink as much as "the guys" (newsflash: you can't).
bleucheezy Let me just ask you, if the roles were reversed, if a man was raped by a woman (which we all know has happened even though it's rare), would you blame the man for drinking too much and behaving like a "slut" or the woman for taking advantage of the situation and forcing herself on someone who clearly is not in any state to give consent?
heidos7 I hold any "adult" responsible for their own conduct equally as far as CHOOSING to become intoxicated from drinking, smoking, snorting, whatever, gender non-specific. As if men haven't used the excuse of being intoxicated on the night they conceived a child since the beginning of time, but "she trapped me!" Yeah right, buddy!? That excuse holds about as much credibility as the thousands of women who falsely accuse men every year of rape (or some form of abuse/harassment) to explain away their own irresponsibility in the moment in question. And I never said, "blame the woman for behaving like a slut." I said she regrets being a slut the next morning, i.e. being aggressively sexual toward the man, i.e. giving consent, then sorta-kinda taking consent back, then giving it again, or as Suzanne Venker put it, "engage in risky behaviors that compromise their ability to be clear about what they want - or don't want." Then decide the next day they "didn't want it." Yeah right, lady!? Now since I've answered your question, you can try answering mine: Do you believe women are equals to men, across the board, no special privileges granted, or not? Because if you're admitting that we're NOT equals in all respects, then that calls into question the safety and logic for all of the social engineering forefronts feminists are now pushing: women on Navy submarines, in cramped quarters with 90% male comrades for months at a time; women and men in the same combat units, riding in cramped humvees with 90% male comrades for months at a time. Gee, do ya think we MIGHT need to hire a whole separate police force/legal team just to process all the morning-after false accusations, head-games, he-said/she-said, pregnancy-on-duty-paternity filing, DRAMA borne of these feminist-forced situations?!
bleucheezy People choose to drink alcohol and/or do drugs, BUT if someone takes advantage of the situation then that is THEIR choice, not the person who is intoxicated. And yes, I believe in equality for EVERYONE.
As a man, who works at a DV shelter, it's awesome to see a conversation of what men can do/should do, to decrease domestic violence. Men DO need to change, and DO need to be addressed and educated about values that will hopefully someday lead to an ever greater decrease in domestic/sexual violence. In my dreams, a COMPLETE elimination :-)
This is an op-ed by a WOMAN, Suzanne Venker, Founder of Women for Men (WFM: an organization which is antithesis of the feminist "joyful heart foundation"). Suzanne Venker: Rape culture exists solely in the imagination of the feminist mind. Do we honestly believe young men have simply changed, that they were nicer and more respectful back in the day? And if they were, could it be because people developed actual relationships prior to jumping into bed? What a concept! Today, women are as willing as men to participate in casual sex. And women who aren't still engage in risky behaviors that compromise their ability to be clear about what they want - or don't want - when the lights are off. Men aren't mind readers. That's not to say some men aren't cads, nor is it to say rape never happens. But it is to say most men aren't rapists, or even potential rapists. It's also to point out that women are just as capable as men of wrongdoing - they are not helpless victims. It may be true that there are fewer gentlemen amongst us. But it is equally true that there are far fewer ladies. Rape isn't rape because no one, save for the two people involved, has any idea who's the victim and who's the perpetrator. The real epidemic on campuses (and beyond) is that men are being falsely accused of acts they did not commit because folks (like Mariska) assume men are to blame when a sex act goes awry.
So does Ms Kouric still stand by her "castrate him" comment? When is she going to do a call to all women not to abuse their children or their partners?
WOW!! And we thought Mariska was a PowerHouse!!
Her HUSBAND is too!!!!!!!

This is awesome and important but I couldn't help but laugh when he went for the crowd participation and there were crickets.

Mariska Hargitay should make a guest appearance on Blue Bloods as Jack Boyle's new 'love interest'; hell they could even make it an SVU crossover!

AWWWW I WOULD HAVE LOVED THEM TO HAVE INTERVIEWED ICE-T TOO

Germans call that "Betroffenheitsgetue", meaning "put-on social consciousness".

And the misandry continues....thanks Katie!
Peters voice is so weird
stfu bruh
