Many men have a great deal of respect for both women and their own powers, and seek to protect the one and limit the other.
True. I don't fear men as a whole but it only takes one to be disrespectful or have those desires. I have a lot of faith - I really do but I am allowed fear
Text: MADISON, Wis. -- A pizza cook in Madison was taking out the trash when he saw a rape in progress, took pictures with his cell phone and joined the attack earlier this month, according to a criminal complaint.
The complaint said that Mario Orlando-Amaya took photos of two men assaulting a woman behind Ian's Pizza, called his co-workers to watch and then joined the men in the rape on Sept. 4.
----------------------------------------------------------------- On definitions: I hear it used in the context of "our characters are about to screwed over or are in serious trouble. " which I don't think is close to original meaning of "destroy and strip of its possession" or "(the act of despoiling a country in warfare)" which I feel are much more serious offenses. I think the origin of the word points to more like: violate, despoil which is not how they are using it.
I think that this words history is not tied to sexual assault though you do have to be respectful of the current usage of the word. If I use fag to refer to a cigarette, I will get a bit of trouble for it. So context matters.
