But it is not a matter of saying anyone is a rapist, which you are unwilling to admit.
I never said "is," I said "potentially," or "assuming every man is a rapist until proven innocent."
In fact, you cite the chrodinger's Rapist concept which, as I noted, is rooted in this idea: "So when you, a stranger, approach me, I have to ask myself: Will this man rape me?"
That is seeing every man as a potential rapist. Period. Full stop. If you cannot see how citing that as an active principle in your philosophy means you see every man as a potential rapist then I say again it seems you're experiencing cognitive dissonance.
