Our thanks to Jeff for this, from February 2014, when William Hague was Foreign Secretary. He said in a speech in Washington that all men should feel shame of rape in war zones. Why? Applying the same logic, should all women feel shame because women commit sexual offences against men, women, and children? Or because women kill their babies and children (far more mothers than fathers do so). Or because many women commit paternity fraud? Or because many women aren’t held properly accountable by the criminal justice system, unlike men? Or because many women give birth to babies with brain damage and other lifelong problems resulting from pregnant women drinking alcohol and/or smoking during pregnancy, despite being fully aware of the risks? No, because class guilt must only ever be experienced by men, never by women.
Hague always pandered to feminists on this issue. To them, women being raped is an infinitely more pressing issue than men being killed. From the article:
Mr Hague and Dr Denis Mukwege, founder of the Panzi hospital in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, were today being presented with the university’s annual Hillary Rodham Clinton Awards for Advancing Women in Peace and Security. [That would be the same odious woman who claimed women are the primary victims of war.]
The Foreign Secretary was due to stress how actress Angelina Jolie had been key in persuading him to take up the cause of campaigning against sexual violence in wars.
Justice for Men & Boys 
Rape in war zones happens to men as well as women. There’s an amazing article about Afrcian men raped by invading soldiers – none of them could report it officially because homosexuality is illegal in their country and they could face death for having their ordeals discovered. I’ll try and find it for you if you’ve not seen it.
The rape of women in war zones is always massively exaggerated. It happens, and is a heinous crime, but in fact it’s the idea of women being raped by invaders (or simply a state’s “enemies”) that spurs men into war and the public into funding them. Hence why we’re told that in the Middle East, Muslim men rape women and punish their victims (that is untrue everywhere on earth, throughout history) to stir up Islamophobia and justify ongoing miltary action, all of which is a smokescreen for securing natural resources. All of the current activities were planned a long, long time ago. I think we both know that.
This “they’re coming to take our women” notion is exactly the same stuff that was forced down the throats of the Weimar public to engender hatred of Jews.
People never learn.

When Angelina Jolie came to London, Hague was following her around like a lap dog, almost with his tongue hanging out. I have always harboured a sneaking admiration for him, but that went that crucial morning a couple of years back when Cruella de Murray pressured him into admitting he was a feminist on Woman Sour. A good man brought low by feminist pressure it seems to me. Frankly, the link with Denis Mukwege and his ‘Panzi’ hospital seems entirely apposite.

Another male politician attempting to shame men while pandering to women. It will NEVER end.

A survey of women to find out how many men they would sacrifice to avoid being raped might be instructive. I’d wager that most would not care how many died and very, very few would suffer to save even one man’s life.

All women should feel shame when a single woman makes a false rape accusation. That’s equality .

Let’s be honest here . Platitudes and picture opportunities with a Hollywood celebrity. I doubt if Mr. H has considered that he is stating all men are born into a form of original sin. Of course one wants to prevent rape ( and pillage etc.). Which is why there have long been national and international laws and conventions to that end. It is perhaps an idictment of the former foreign secretary that his chief achievement has been to reaffirm what has long been the case.
