You don't have to dance around it. That's exactly what's happening. The people here who are saying it's okay to discriminate against men because "they" commit sexual assaults at a higher rate, those same people would (rightly) lose their minds if anyone suggest that we should discriminate against African Americans if they were to commit some violent crime at a higher rate.

We need to call a spade a spade here. This is blindly terrible logic. It's crass sex discrimination, and it's affect people's ability to find employment, and it's almost certainly against the law.

Deciding we can just start discriminating against an entire class of people in employment or housing, just because their is a subset of that class committing crimes is a civil rights violation.

People need to stop treating this like it's somehow okay because it's men.
