No offense, but since you are gay, getting raped would not be as traumatic as it would be for a heterosexual.WHAT?! What reason could you possibly have to think that the degree to which a person would be traumatized from the experience of rape has ANYTHING to do with their sexual orientation? Here are exactly all of the possibilities which exist on this matter, assuming that the victim is female:
1. She is heterosexual, and has been raped by a male.
Absolutely impossible to predict how traumatizing that will be, but definitely a thing that would constitute trauma.
Quote:2. She is heterosexual, being raped by a female.A. This is less traumatic for her than 1 because V. Whatever V is not relevant for this discussion at all.
B. This is more traumatic for her than 1 because X. Defining the variable is till not relevant at all.
2A and 2B are equally likely, because there is absolutely no reliable way to predict how an INDIVIDUAL will be affected by an event that is traumatizing.
3. She is bisexual, and therefore there is no logical reason why the sex of her assailant would matter. There may be REASONS, but those reasons will be entirely subjective, in other words, a matter of the individual's personal experience and that individuals personality and genetics and possibly other things that we do not know even exist yet.
4. She is a lesbian, and her assailant is male.
Again, absolutely impossible to predict how traumatizing that will be, but definitely a thing that would constitute trauma.
5. She is a lesbian and her assailant is female.
A. This is less traumatic for her than 4 because Y.
B. This is less traumatic for her than 4 because Z.
Again, 5A and 5B are equally likely and thus it does not make sense to make a generalization that either one is more than the other.
If anything I said is not the case in your opinion, I do not care. Glad we established that.
I was just basically spouting off something that I know to be logically true.
Also, yep, Psy, the reason you know you should not carry a gun is exactly one of the reasons why the fundamental idea that what a woman should do because of the likelihood she could ever get raped is CARRY A GUN is problematic.
