Men and women are together everywhere else in society. Is he saying American servicemen are unable to not rape?

I really don't know how much of a minority of men it is....many more men are doing this than you think. I guarantee you know many. Every woman knows many women that have been assaulted and harassed. This isn't done by an evil handful of guys.

I think the thing is - when people are found to have done it, they’ve been doing it for years. One guy could easily assault 25 or 50 women before getting reported + the woman believed + consequences… and if those three things don’t line up, they know they can continue.

I don’t think MOST men actually assault women. I do think plenty of men do, and most other men think those men don’t, or think that what happened was basically consensual or “not really assault, he just turned a ‘no’ into a ‘yes’,” or had an element of he said/she said to it, or “they were both drunk so who can say.”
