Objectifying women

[Dotard]

ITM,

No one has said if you take heed of simple commom sense advice on avoiding sexual assault it will guarantee your safety. You are harping on as if that is what is being said. What is being said is avoiding risks can help prevent opportunity for rapists to strike. Period.

Your judgement of the men here is clouded by your emotionally driven arguements. I'd agree with Godhead. You may have talked and been counseled and counseled others but you are not demonstrating you have closure.

If you had a client whom you were counselling because she keeps getting repeatedly raped and you know she walks to the store or where ever in a G-string bikini, you would not advise her to stop doing that? If she repeatedly gets drunk at the local hole-in-the-wall and has a habit of, when drunk, dancing on the tables hiking her skirt up showing her ass, you wouldn't include in your counselling session advice to stop doing that and she may decrease her risks?

I am compelled to add;

If you seek answers to why rape occurs and what are it's triggers, whos contentions on the matter carry the most weight? Who do you believe can answer those questions, the rapists or the victims?

---

And another thing;

You came in here and asked a specific question, "What could I have done to avoid what happened to me?"
If we were to actually answer that question it has become apparent from your subsequent posts you would have attacked us for doing so.

Your personal opinion on why rape occurs, even as a victim, does not truth make.

I'll go with the opinions of the evolutionary biologists and rapists when seeking the answer to that question.
