2. Prevention is something women should be taught just the same.

You already are and it doesn't work sweetheart

Not flashing cash and locking your doors doesn't ensure you won't be robbed either, but it minimizes the chances. Where a woman goes, how she dresses and how she behaves can either enhance or minimize the chances of rape.

This would be perfect if it wasn't for the fact that rape happens to... Just guess... Different kinds of bodies with different clothing, including burqas, niqabs and headscarves.

Yes and people with locked doors get robbed too. But I wouldn't advise anyone to leave their doors unlocked.

I'm always amused by this analogy because while flashing cash is increasing the chances, it's at least something you can know and understand, while rape comes from someone you know and trust and therefore it's not preventable.

Date rape is a whole nother ball game. I doubt dress has much to do with that, though choosing your dates careful and not getting drunk with people you don't know really well might.

That has no effect on rape. You have ugly and beautiful being raped, and even some older women as well. Clothing doesn't increase the chances - In fact, the only relevant data for being raped is meeting new men

Did you watch the video. We are talking body language here and not provocative body language, but vulnerable body language.

Do you mean the body language you use against the men you know and trust minimally? I thought it was relaxed.

Nope, body language in public. I learned that to walk boldly and carry a motorcycle helmet makes man cross the street. Appearing sure of yourself is useful for preventing both muggings and rape. It's useful date rape prevention.

I talk not as a victim but as a criminal law student who has studied facts from various crimes, including rape (I did some papers)... Clothing and body language is almost irrelevant if not completely irrelevant. But you can always prove otherwise.

The case T makes of body language is against psychopathic violent rapists, but those are serial criminals and a minority compared to the rest of the population

That is the only situation I'm addressing. Violent rape. He was not and I'm not addressing date rape in this context.
