Perhaps children are just asking for it . . . you know, the innocence and all . . .
Well, considering I'm male and it happened to me when I was seven years old (and that is all I am going to say about that), perhaps a logical extension is simply encase everyone in a chastity belt. Or lock everyone up in seperate rooms.
Forfend that we should decrease the number of rapes by taking paedophiles and rapists (and both sexes get raped) off the street, and educate people that rape is never the fault of the victim, any more than murder or arson.
FFFFFFFF- I think you're missing my point. Of course it is the rapist's fault and nobody else's. Taking rapists off the streets is a fine aim, but short of having about one police officer per citizen, I'm not sure how you intend to do it, it's not as if we have been deliberately leaving them on the streets up to now. Bad things happen, just because it isn't the fault of the victim of a crime doesn't mean they shouldn't try to avoid it.

I don't know, is it? Depends. What is it we're teaching them?

I mean I'd take considerable measures to decrease my chance of getting raped, I know it is not rape victims' fault but that doesn't mean rape-avoiding strategies shouldn't be looked into. I know a lot of people say society should teach people that rape is wrong and shit, but bad things happen, you know?
Ok, so chastity belts for all then. Gotcha.
Honestly ElD, I don't know, I haven't noticed society teaching women not to get raped. But lots of people seem to think it does, and all I was trying to say is that if it makes less people get raped I don't see the problem.

Starting at age zero for both sexes. Those infants are just asking for it.
It's funny how when one brings up a subject such as rape, a lot of other people's words inexplicably find their way to one's mouth.
