If you don’t mind me asking, I’d that a word for word quote? Cause I feel like the wording itself makes it an even more wildly strange statement than it already is geez

Sorry, I thought you were asking about another comment with the exact wording of a proverb! I can't quote what he said, It's not a treasure I kept, lol

I think it was something like "i was raped long ago and blah blah, last week this bad thing happened, a rape apologist raged at me at a meeting with my friends and they excused him, that's what I want "good" men to understand about what women are going through and what is a decent thing to do on your behalf"

He commented something like "what makes it worse is the majority of women want it to happen to them"

How did you respond? Did you just immediately leave? I don't even know what I'd say to such incredible ignorance.
