Is it not possible that showing a video like this to men who are already doing all of these things might be a slap in the face if you don't put some walls around it and explain your position? Men like say... Christians, who are commanded to flee immorality, control their eyes, and keep their thoughts pure.
This video stops just short of placing the blame on normal everyday men, implying they are at fault for helping nurture this culture of violence. It's lacking in substance and comes across as an apology from men everywhere for being pigs. Some of us have been leading the charge for quite a while that we need to clean it up, including some of the men who have been so vocal against this video
Honestly, I've heard guys talk like this before, and it's usually for one reason only - to impress a woman and get her to go out with him. Real men just do this and do it quietly. When they do stand up, they don't make it some politically correct fun fest. They don't pull their punches and imply that women can stumble down a dark alley at 1AM while drunk (which this guy did when he said that it wasn't a woman's fault she got raped because she was drunk).
They get up there and say "men, we have to do better", and meanwhile "women, I don't care who's fault it is, be careful."
Also, I've got to take exception to this little gem here.
One in 3 men are NOT rapists.
See what I mean, this video is garbage, it doesn't even accurately convey the message it's trying to get across. The statistic is that 1 in 3 women are the victim of some form of abuse.
