plays into my point
the fact that a person could not grasp why a woman is deserving of respect simply because she is a human being just like him off top is a MOTHERFUCKING PROBLEM and it's central to this entire discussion. And even allowing that second option really doesn't mean shit because some men will know a woman is someone's sister, daughter, cousin, auntie, etc. and STILL violate her so all those dismissive assumptions you're making mean squat when at the core of their mindstate as it pertains to women is the idea that women are somehow less worthy of personhood than men.
We gotta get back to square one before we can unpack any of this bullshit.
