I don't believe that "only a few nuts" rape, but, the falseness of that
statement does not mean rapaciousness is the general attitude of men toward
women, as Sophie seems to imply. There is a middle ground (aw, I'm no fun,
I know). If 35% of men *might* rape if they could get away with it, 65% of
men (assuming they all have an opinion) *absolutely would not* rape, even
if they could get away with it.

Which is (much) bigger, 35% or 65%?

Just to confuse things further, how many of the 35% would find they couldn't
do it after all? And how many of the 65% would find the temptation (sexual
or not) irresistible after all? Don't ask me and don't ask psychologists.



In the 1969 People's Park riots in Berkeley, 10,000 students took part.

But 20,000 didn't. Don't get hypnotized by a single number.
