Real Men
I have had long internal battles with bumper stickers that read "Real Men Don't Beat Women". Hang on, just yesterday I saw on Kenyan TV an abstinence advert saying "A Real Man Waits" and even "A Real Lady Waits". If this is the line they are taking why not do it properly and say "A Real Woman Waits". What on earth is wrong with the term woman? I have seen people recoil at the use of the word woman. It should be "Ladies" don't you know? That's the respectful way to address females. So are the ladies getting any respect from the real men?
Speaking of abstinence, recently I met an American woman interested in finding groups to work with on a USAID funded abstinence programme. I had no answers and told her I was not likely to know such groups. I have no problem with abstinence incidentally. Hell, all real men, real ladies and every-damn-body else should abstain from sex. At least until we redefine sex, and remove it from its current (mis)place in the centre of our entire universe. Then after that, by all means, let us have sex. Let me not digress.

Real men apparently do not rape, or beat women. So who is doing the raping and beating. Martians?

No its the men who have forgotten what it means to be a real man!Or doesnt that answer meet your feminist expectations?
Tell it like it is sista! Who indeed is wreaking all this havoc? Green gnomes? Monsters!
Instigator, what is a real man?
There is no such thing as a "real man". The term "man" is deep enough, and age is a necessary but not sufficient condition. To qualify as a "man" requires adherence to the various noble principles that "real men", as described in your post adhere to. And it's not Martians who volate women, it's wannabe men ...
