    There is a higher chance of being mauled by a pitbull than being violently sexually assaulted on the streets of America yet there is a large portion of people that say it’s not the breed, it’s how they were raised.

    Why aren’t men talked about with similar empathy? Why don’t we acknowledge there are more women pedophiles recieve lighter sentences and sometimes aren’t convicted at all? Do you have empathy for these children?

      I know you’re happy to herring the argument in any direction to get a concession. I have empathy for lots of people, but it doesn’t reduce the calculus: a woman might be harmed or killed by a bear, but the bear will never kidnap her and keep her in a cage, much less rape her.

      Huh.
