War on Men

Kathleen Parker wrote an opinion piece, Sex after drinking and the war on men, on the growing war against men versus the classical struggle against women for gender equality. It has been a growing problem for men whom lie under the grey areas of rape and consensual sex to determine who the actual victim. Parker brought out factual, and in most cases common, knowledge about the opposing genders to highlight that men are the obvious superior specimens in a physical aspect. Though men have the physical attributes to overpower women in most cases, women should still always be held accountable for their decisions. More and more women every year grow up with the mindset that calling rape over an undesirable situation is okay, knowing two cases from my personal life alone where this has happened. Women have gained an important responsibility with the legal system taking more and more trust in them over cases of rape. The fact that California is attempting to pass legislative to make consensual sex more and more defined is a testament to the growing war on men. Men are thought of as always having the power over women but in the majority of cases the physical power is all that lies in the man’s court. The justice system is not placed to assume fault on one part or another but to keep equality at the front of the line with regards to public safety. The more we weigh against a certain gender, the greater the problem becomes, regardless of which side it out weighs.
