Mormon: "There is no such thing as rape."

[Violet]

The problem isn't saying that people should avoid dimly lit places. The problem is that rape victims are scrutinized for their attack in a way that victims of other crimes are not. It isn't just the issue of a woman's clothes. Anything that the victim did that left her vulnerable will be questioned and used to blame her for the attack. Even if the courts don't do it, her friends and relatives very well could.

People should avoid dimly lit places... a far better way to get mugged than to get raped.

For rape, it's probably better if you avoid the bedroom And they aren't wrong... tantalize and tease and you get tapped and you get tossed.

Believing you and your space will be respected is not a crime... but it IS reckless.

Instead of saying that women should avoid dimly lit areas or take self defense classes why can't people say that everyone should avoid dimly lit areas and take self defense classes? Men can be attacked or robbed also. Almost all the ways that women are told to avoid rape should also be used by men to avoid crimes.

Wouldn't matter, they're weak anyway. Wouldn't matter... they start at a severe disadvantage.
