I did not say that, nor was that implied. What I said was that knowing an area that is violent, I would be stupid to go there, thinking that I don't run the risk of being assaulted.

No, you've put blame on the victim. Repeatedly.


Rape is always and solely the rapist's fault.
Tell me where the gray area is, precisely.



Bullshit. More women are raped by their dates, boyfriends, partners, friends then by random strangers. If you want women to really 'prevent' rape they should never leave their rooms. If you want rape to be prevented, we should start focusing on teaching people not to be fucking rapists. And stop laughing at rape jokes. And stop doubting a victim because of how she acts, dresses, who she slept with, or whether we approve of her lifestyle. It means teaching children to respect each other's bodies from a young age and not laughing off someone grabbing a waitress's ass.

I'm missing your point because your point is BLAMING THE VICTIM.

I want women to feel that they should not have to subject themselves to people, places, events, that they don't want to.

I want women to have high self esteem so that they don't feel that they have to get treated in a certain way.

I want women to feel empowered.

When women feel they deserve less than the best, that is ripe for abuse, of any kind.

What I am saying is that women should not have to go to such extremes just to be liked and accepted.

Women should not have to feel as if the only way they can get attention and "love" is to suffer abuse for it and put up with it.

I want women to be able to take control of their lives, and to do that is to understand their responsibility in their own actions. To recognize that they don't have to leave that option to someone else. It is their choice.

What, precisely? Seriously, what exactly do you wonder?

I wonder why do you think you have to resort to using profanity to get your point across?

He deserves no blame for being assaulted. Assault is not a reasonable outcome for being at a party in an odd outfit. Stop blaming the victim.


So he deserved it?

Go back and re-read my posts. I've answered this multiple times....

So don't say it at all then. Or fuck off. Whichever.

Again with the 'F' bomb. Color me impressed....
