I agree. What got me was this line: It seems like she's implying that rapists are a type of person. Perhaps there are certain people more prone to raping others, but it also seems like if one substituted the word "rapist" for something else, that line of reasoning makes little sense. Example: It's because the boys who happened to be around at the time were not murderers. No one is a murderer until they commit murder. Similarly, it is my understanding that no one is a rapist until they rape someone. If that comes off as flippant or overly reductive, please let me know why.It’s because the boys who happened to be around at the time were not rapists
