These are the parts that got it hidden. The first 2 as broadbrushing, the last tried to clarify but may have come too late to avoid the Hide thing.
"the men that are defensive may have raped someone at some point"
"There are some men, when they see the topic is rape, immediately get defensive... almost like holocaust deniers. "
"Usually, when I get defensive about something, it's because I've done something wrong or perceived that I've done something wrong. So, psychologically, I'm sure I turn my reactions around on others."
This sounds like the poster was saying that someone who doesn't like being accused of something horrible must have done it which is rather simplistic, imo.
Yes, "some" men may fit into this category, but seems if you accuse someone of something really horrible, like rape, and they get defensive, it could very easily be that they don't like being accused, are frustrated with doing what they can to help stop this horrible thing, and still be looked at as a contributor.
Also as Sera Bellum put it "Men get defensive because they know it is men who commit these violent crimes. It really does pain them thinking their brother, their uncle, their sons, or their father could do such a thing. "
