Attention Fellow Introverts: It's Time to Stop Beating Ourselves Up (Ashley Lauretta) (medium-length) I'm not an introvert (I'm a moderate extrovert), but I know and love many, and this article rings true to me.
The opposite of rape culture is nurturance culture (Nora Samaran) (long!) This is a really good synthesis of a lot of ideas about masculinity, development, and relationships. Highly recommended, but don't be in a rush. For people who are wondering how masculinity can fit with feminism, this is a really good place to look.

I think she has a lot of valid points. I just don't think...the instance of someone 'accidentally' raping someone, because they didn't get the social/emotional cues exactly explains the 95-98% of rapes that are not done by a stranger.

Extremist politics in general works by ignoring nuances and polarizing the issues. That's as true of feminism as it is of right-wing politics, for example. I don't really engage in debate with extremists because I haven't found it useful for myself, them, or any onlookers. Debating against their views as I understand them without involving the people themselves is an exercise not to overindulge in: it's good to clarify what one thinks, but not to treat the exercise as a glorious victory.
So. I generally agree with your central point. I hope that you got more from the article than an urge to express this.
