Also, I doubt that's what you were trying to insinuate, but you got scared and backed off.

You're right. It is very apparent that this is a
very hot button issue for you. I'm glad that you are so adamant in your views.
The issue of a woman being raped was never the OT of this thread. It got derailed about 4 pages ago by someone, who I feel, wanted to stir the pot some more.
But to hopefully and finally address your point:
Do I feel that it is a woman's fault for being raped in any circumstance, no.
Do I feel that she can take steps in certain situations to minimize her chance of being raped, yes.
In grad school, whenever I left the lab late and had to go out to the parking lot to my car, I'd call and ask for a security escort. I didn't have to, but I did.
Whenever I was in the lab late at night working, I made sure the doors were locked if I was in the lab by myself.
I made sure that I was as secure as possible. Could something have still happened to me, probably. But, to minimize that I did all I could to prevent a negative outcome. I took responsibility for my safety whenever possible. That is all I'm saying.

Particularly pathetic from someone who'll say ass but hide it behind symbols "because of the TOS."

No, not pathetic. I just did not think using profanity really helped the discussion, considering the content of the discussion, rape.

1. I don't care if I impress you. You're a moron who perpetuates the culture that makes rape "OK" by your insistence that it is partially the victim's fault. You are part of the problem. Not the woman who drinks too much, or the person who ends up in the wrong area of town or the guy who shows up at the party where his friends were; YOU are part of the problem. Because you're the reason the defense lawyer can ask a victim how many people she sleeps with, what she was wearing, why she was even at that party and how many drinks she had and get his client acquitted.
When I tell you to fuck off, it's not for a lack of other things to say, it's because that is the best way to express how disgusted I am with the things you're saying. 2. So fuck off, kiss my ass, go fuck yourself, or have a blessed day but stop being part of the fucking problem.
