As I've pointed out, most women are raped by people they know, and I've also cited an instance where it was a cab driver who was the rapist. This fantasy you have of a woman being grabbed off the streets to be attacked is the rarest form of rape, and even then, it's rarely random, the rapist usually stalks the target.
All I'm saying is that a woman could perhaps avoid being raped by taking precautions.
Quote:Why do you persist in claiming this advice is 'common sense', when it has been repeatedly proven to not be?Are you saying that a woman amongst a group of women is equally likely to be raped than a woman walking alone?
Quote:Are you like so many misogynists who believe a woman who likes feeling sexy is asking for abuse?
No.
Quote:So you admit you are blaming the victim, but now you are trying to pretend that's not a bad thing.No. Read what I said again.
Quote:You remind me now of teachers who advise the victim (just as uselessly) to change their behavior to avoid bullying because it is too much work to actually do something about the bullies.
Bad analogy.
Quote:You'll also find people who advise a rape victim to just 'lay there and take it' instead of fighting back. Their advice is just as valid, and just as disgustingly useless, as yours is.
Once again your misunderstood my post. All I'm saying is that the victims could take precautions, not that they should.
