	The only solution is for you men out there to stop raping us!

While I am in no way in favor of the opinion that most of the above
article was criticising (see Subject:), I have to take exception to the
line quoted above.

This sort of overgeneralization purely on the basis of sex is not
warranted.  Rape is not limited to a man attacking a woman.  Not to
mention I don't recall ever personally raping anybody and have no plans
to do so.  Statements such as the one quoted above are sexism
masquerading as feminism.
