What gets under my skin about them is that I don't know what percentage of men are the type who will do the rape and what percentage won't, but I do know that the percentage of those who will actually stand the fuck up and do something about it seems awfully small.
I count myself among that small percentage. Because I have stood up and done something. In some cases it was getting another person and getting the person in danger out of there, in some it was beating the shit out of the rapist.
But I can't be everywhere.
To me, the most important way I can think of to contribute to this cause is to teach my son that rape and/or sexual harassament is NOT "cool" or "ok" and to stand up and be one of that small percentage.

And then that percentage grows just a little bit.
