damn, I didn't want to say anything more on the subject, but I am.
There are other ways of protecting oneself. walking with a group of friends, even if they are all female and dressed just the same as you. Staying in public areas. Other people can protect besides a guy. having a weapon or a pepperspray. yes, be alert, when you are alone, especially in a sketchy area. if you were walking through a place where a lot of muggings were being committed would you be unobservant so that a thief could sneak up behind you?
that is not the only reason women keep quite. it has significant outcomes with relationships, there is a distinct possiblity that the guy she is with will leave her. He won't believe her or he will feel like he is left with "damaged goods" not saying that is right, but there are other reasons.
I can't think of any others now and my battery is about to die, so I gotta go.

Quote:Anyone who says otherwise is the reason many women choose not to report their rapes rather than have to deal with judgmental bastards who question their actions and thus put the responsibility onto them for not being 'nice girls'.
