He did suggest that rather strongly, and I agree that stopping there does a disservice to women. We are not children. Paying attention to what we do matters. Not all men can be, or have been taught not to rape. Behaving as if they have is dangerous. Educate men all you like, I'm much more than good with that. But educate women too. That is my point and as I heard the video TF's.
Wow, my thread has gone off the rails and killed a bunch of people who were just innocently waiting at the train station. There are like 3 or 4 different discussions happening here. :o
I don't want to get into a big debate about thunderf00t but he is attempting to shift the responsibility entirely onto women in his video. The first problem is the false idea of the stranger jumping out of the bushes and raping someone. The reality is that the majority of rapes are committed by someone the person knows. This has been shown in study after study. So thunderf00t's advice isn't going to stop the majority of rapes.
He does mention that fact but then goes on to pull out the old MRA argument and suggests that acquaintance rape is basically just a case of a woman regretting sex.
He clearly has no understanding of the actually subject he is talking about, which seems to be a common problem for him with social issues.
