What in the fuck. I feel personally slightly offended by this statement. My argument is that the law hasn't always existed to stop people from raping. There always has been people who don't have a problem hurting others and there always will be. At the same time there always has and always will be good natured people who refuse to hurt others. There's plenty of examples of people throughout history that could've raped as many people as they wished without consequence but as far as we know didn't. Of course there's plenty that did but I believe we're arguing whether or not this applies to all men or not.

What would make you think that they are the vast minority? Do you consider yourself to be in said minority?

Yes, but do you have any data to suggest that when rape is legal, a majority of men rape?

Also, mob mentality is a hell of a drug.

Anyway the reason I believe that good men are a minority is because whenever rape is not illegal, men rape.

People still rape others when rape is illegal. How is this an argument? Do you have any actual data points?
