MOORE: The Dangerous Message Feminist Mothers Are Teaching Their Daughters

Faith Moore

In homes across America, feminist mothers are teaching their daughters a dangerous message: men — all men — are not to be trusted. “I know not ALL men are creepers,” writes Jennifer Jarvis, on popular mommy site, Scary Mommy, “but I’m teaching my daughter they are.”

The idea that all men are rapists — or that all men promote “rape culture” — is slowly but surely becoming mainstream. Angelina Chapin of Huffington Post, for example, writes that all men “perpetuate misogyny” and “have a long history of silencing or discounting women who speak up about sexual violence.” Colleges are beginning to institute programs to teach men how to stop contributing to “rape culture.” And a recent Salon article suggests that men have learned a “social script” that validates sexual harassment.
