many feminists want to increase knowledge of what rape is an basically "tech people not to rape" and many Redditors are against this
I guess I've just never seen that idea on Reddit
Reddit has a real resistance to promoting any kind of conversation about what rape is.
They seem to have the view that people know exactly what rape is and what it isn't.
They have a weird, old-fashioned way of looking at it: they position rape as something so evil, so horrific, so extreme that clearly only truly evil people could perpetrate it. And that it is so evil, so horrific and so extreme that it is pretty clear what it is.
I actually found Reddit's infamous "Ask a Rapist" thread quite interesting because it demonstrated pretty clearly that a lot of perpetrators had no idea they had raped someone (or maybe an inkling which they resisted).
Furthermore, you will regularly see on Reddit a real outcry when the issue of drunkenness and consent is raised, implying that rabid feminists are trying to claim fairly normal sexual encounters are rape. You will very often hear the argument "if two drunk people are having sex, are they raping each other?" as a way to mock what is a very important conversation. It's frustrating: the issue of sex, alcohol and consent is one that is discussed pretty regularly in schools and is seen as having real value. But Reddit resist this.
/r/mensrights, ask them what's their opinion.
I can say, a lot of the anger comes from only teach boys rape is bad, and teaching girls how to protect themselves. Obviously this isn't always the case, but if it comes up on reddit oftentimes it is.
