>Any feminist will tell you that most rape does not fit the "large stranger overpowers a woman in the streets" scenario.

If that is truly the case, then why do many feminists believe that every man on the street must be treated as a potential rapist?

Let's be clear - the phrase "many feminists believe" is a weasel phrase worthy of being placed alongside Fox News and their infamous "some people say" thing.

You've demonstrated that one woman is so concerned she's going to be attacked that she assumes every man is a rapist. That's a terrible state of affairs, but not for the reasons you think.

Please explain how "many feminists" is a "weasel phrase."

>That's a terrible state of affairs, but not for the reasons you think.

Explain.
