How children are raised is how they behave when under stress.

For instance, attempted rape or sexual harassment.

Trigger warning, but I wanted to boost this signal because she hits the nail on the head about what happened for me with my own date rape in college.

I particularly like the comment thread where a guy comes on complaining about getting treated poorly in bars when he approaches a woman. Someone brought up the Nice Guy™ thing, and how the guys who label themselves that way are often complete self-deluded assholes (not that all are, zomg).

I just like it when that thing is pointed out. I'm not sure why, but I get a visceral "SEE that is what I am trying to say!" response and it's nice and vindictive and fun.

But then those are two traits some would say I have, so.
