That is correct, although I'm not sure why you're bringing that up.
It is not bad to tell people that as a general matter. It is bad to tell a victim that after something bad has already happened to her. If you don't see the difference, I can't help you.
I disagree that the scenario you paint is the way most or even many rapes happen. By the way: ANYONE getting plastered and stumbling home alone is taking a bunch of risks.
You're the one divorcing yourself from reality if you think that even a plurality of rapes occur in the scenario you posit. Also: the only dangerous part about that scenario (other than alcohol poisoning) is being around a rapist. The rapist - not the alcohol, not the dress - is the sole risk factor.
You're the one living in the fantasy world. My world - the real world - is far more dangerous for women than the fiction you've created. Women are raped by intimate partners, by family members, friends, and strangers, drunk or sober, dressed or undressed. You have yet to address that point, and keep blathering…
"warn women not to go into warzones, frats, and bars." Women can't even go into bars now? And you claim I'm the one "disempowering" women.
I'll say it one more time: the only risk factor that correlates with rape incidence is being in the presence of a rapist. Therefore, there are no "identifiable risk factors," as…
"Just like I can go to the ghetto to pick a fight."
You deciding to go get in a fight is not the same thing as a woman getting raped because she happens to be a woman in the presence of a rapist. That's a ridiculous comparison, because you're doing something inherently dangerous, seeking out violence, where the woman…
Oh, so if only women offered some kind of useful public service, then we'd stop blaming them? I wonder if, you know, the continuation of human existence is a sufficient "useful public service"? GTFOOH with that nonsense.
You do know that women get raped at places other than frat parties, right? And that the majority…
tl;dr for all my posts:
Get in touch with reality. Stop blaming the victim. Ask yourself why your answer to the problem is that women shouldn't drink or dress provocatively, even though neither correlates with rape. Realize that you're part of the problem, arguing your deliberately obtuse points. Get better and do…
Women get raped drunk or sober, by strangers or "friends" or relatives or dates, covered from head to toe or showing skin.
Literally the only way to "mitigate the consequences" - did you really say "consequences"? Blaming the victim again, even more blatantly! - is to make sure there are no rapists around you. There…
Oh, and by "staying out of the war zone," do you mean "never being around men, ever"? Because I don't know how else you "stay out of the war zone." The problem with rapists is that they don't tend to identify themselves.
Your example is actually very illustrative of how rape culture works.
We do not blame or criticize beheaded journalists. We focus our anger, thirst for justice, and judgment squarely on the beheaders. A boorish sociopath might argue that the proper thing to do after a journalist is beheaded is to opine that he or she…
Let me put it another way: walking around blindfolded, you could get killed even if no one else does anything wrong.
You can never get raped even if no one else does anything wrong.
That's why that comparison is moronic.
Way to compare blatant negligence with having too much to drink or showing some skin. Inapposite, dumb, ridiculous.
Your train of thought - conflating negligent behavior with behavior that carries no inherent risk but for the actions of criminals - could extend to nearly everything a person does. Get robbed at an…
His claim that virgins who wait until marriage and are faithful are not at risk for STDs is pretty much correct (you could get scabies from a gym towel, I suppose).
However, the message he's tacitly sending with that claim - that people who contract STDs deserve them because God is punishing them for sinful behavior -…
Some people have racial coding in their statements. You have a fully-functioning racial app.
Show me some statistics bearing out your theory that if more white people lived in predominantly black urban neighborhoods, interracial murder would increase. Is there a serious spike in interracial murder in neighborhoods…
The analogous "murder culture" - based on social norms that treat a group as "lesser"; victim-blaming running rampant; the false divide between victims and "the good ones" - is the killing of young black men by the police.
So, the real question is: "should young black men be afraid of the police because of the murder…
"90 percent of girls I know are whores"
Mitch, I know that girl. Just tell her that while you understand her preference for people's full names, and that you are really happy that she respects you enough to use your whole given name, that she should please call you Mitch, as it's what you prefer.
She will probably then call you by another, different…
