Seriously though. People need to understand that it is wrong to group males as a whole. I'm not neccesarily saying somebody here is doing it, but it is very often the case. Saying that Men are Pigs, is completely innapropriate. Now I am not saying that what those men did is correct nor is it anywhere near appropriate. I agree that those men do deserve punishment and were clearly in the wrong. What I want to say is that just saying its those guys fault is wrong. Yes, I am defending those men, No not in the way you think. You can defend someone without agreeing with their actions. So let me begin. Take into account the situation. We have created a society where power lies with (predominantly) men. Now humans as a whole (Not just men) have never been good with power. (No reference needed because thats just a pretty known fact) Now take this knowledge and apply it to the situation given to us. Women at mardis gras. The sexual tension created by the scores of women running around and showing their titties for a necklace of beads. (or possibly due to the lack of self-respect that they have for themselves.), throw in some alchohol and narcotics, add a crowd mentality effect where everyone feels like they are anonymous and finally place the setting in a secually repressed society and voila. Shit like this happens. I'm not condoning what those men did. I think it is extremely wrong adn they should be punished for it, but im trying to say is that we as a society or even as individual people shouldnt be so shocked to see such images. You would have to be blind, deaf and dumb in order to be shocked by this. If we persay, had a much more reliable society that had solved the problems stated above and this sort of thing happened, I would have been absolutely shocked and appalled by this. Let me give you an example. Female models (and many normal girls) who starve themselves because of what our society demands. Now your position in this scenario would be that its their own faults and they don't deserve help or sympathy. At least that is what it should be assuming you follow the same logic. I believe that they are definetely a part of their own plight, but there are many other factors that are at play as well. In conclusion, men as a whole are not evil from the actions of a few. Men are not inately evil. Women need to stop blaming men for everything and shit being their fault 100%. (It is partly your faults as well as function members of a whole society.) And these men are clearly in need of some serious help because their actions show that they are no in any condition to be a part of our society where the goal is to respect every person. I'm tired of people reacting incorrectly to serious situations. You are not helping. You are not solving the problem. You are creating an entirely new problem. Mis guided out rage. What is the point of getting angry about something just to be angry about it? Why not do something about it, or take steps to prevent it or start an intelligent conversation about it? I believe that we like to talk about problems a lot more than actually fix problems. Now because this is about men, and I as a man am a man. I find these positions irratating and offensive. White males, the forgotten race. But thats probably our fault as well
