I agree with Nora's point way earlier in this post. And I find that the fact the thread has turned into mehmet's instructions for how girls can protect themselves is actually proving the case.
How many of you have ever sat a man down, tell him a few rape stories and how the victims survived it and tell them never to try things like these? Do you tell them don't drink so much that you may accidentally rape someone and not remember? Do you tell them to always ask and if they're not sure never never do it?
Because as a woman many people in my life have taken the liberty to sit me down and tell me how to be careful to prevent rape. I know they do it because they worry but why haven't they done it to men? I see posts on my fb about brutal rape cases and the ending is always: tell all the women you know to not (insert whatever the victim did), because they may increase chances of being raped. It never says: tell all the men you know not to do this.
My parents actually did actually have discussions with me about cheating in school and stealing stuff. They also tell me never to physically attack anybody except in self defence. They told me when I was a child that crime is never worth it and I'll lose everything just for one moment's stupidity. But after reading a few rape testimonials, it's as if the boy only realized after everything that he raped the girl. Many of them didn't realize it was rape. ?!
