  1. This is the kind of violence that Obama is legitimizing by choosing Rick Warren.

    Thanks, Obama. Thanks for nothing.

  2. On behalf of all men, I want to apologize to this woman. Guys - let's work to stop rape, and all men's violence against women, okay?

  4. One of the most moving experiences of my life was when I saw a man get on his knees in front of a woman who had just revealed in a heart wrenching way that she had been molested as a child, and he, from his heart, even though he was not the man who did it, apologized to her. That woman changed over time. You want to know the REAL miracle? I changed too. From that moment on I started to STOP hating men. I highly respect any man who has the compassion, selflessness, and the guts, to care about what a woman needs. Thank you Ben Atherton-Zeman
