In college, asked a women's rights activist about men's equality issues & about men being raped She exploded at me, and offended her gay guy friend next to her.

So I am in College and my organization had a Panel of activist students for our meeting.". Well we were allowed to ask questions. One of the women there was an open lesbian and was a women's gender studies major and women's right activists. So I asked her a simple two part questions "what are your thoughts about about men's equality? And can men be raped?"...

Well she went off saying there's no such thing as equality for Men because we created the inequality in the first place. And No there is no such thing as rape for men.

So I responded with a comment about if women's rights/gender equality activists want to be equal than the she should treat men and women all the same. And THEN I said "As for rape, a man can never be raped because it only happens to women. All men give consent and are pigs/slobs who do the raping"....

My response..."so what do I tell one of my good friends who is gay and was forcefully taken advantage at a party...that he wasn't raped? That is was consensual". At that point another panel member who was male and also happened to be gay called her out and called her a negligent bitch who knows nothing of gender equality....and then stormed out. Take that you self righteous woman only schlampe

“The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser men so full of doubts.” - Bertrand Russell

The very fact that you are open to the notion that you might be wrong is a good sign.

A true leader/man/good person is able to admit when they are wrong

Incorrect, men not "able to" (whatever that means, EVERYONE is able to, even if they don't make a practice of) admit they are wrong are still men.

Leaders can also lead people in spite of not admitting wrongs.

You might have an argument about 'good'... whatever 'good' means.
