The Absurd Report

“The idea that males can’t control themselves and that females can’t be blamed—ever for anything—has been taking shape in the culture for the past several decades and now is firmly embedded in the zeitgeist. Reaction to Duke [University's] sad chapter is but the inevitable full flowering of the anti-male seeds planted a generation ago. Thus, we need little prompting to assume that where there’s a guy, there’s a potential rapist; where there’s an athlete, there’s seething brute force; where there’s an SUV, there’s a privileged, gluttonous, imperialistic brat who deserves to be found guilty, even if he isn’t… Obviously, no woman deserves to be raped for any reason, under any circumstances. But nor do men deserve to be presumed guilty just because they’re men.” —Kathleen Parker
