Objectifying women

[Tiberius]

If it is so obvious, provide some proof of it.

I'll try, but I haven't found any good sites that list stats about circumstances involving rape yet. I'll get back to you.

On an additional point, you said a while back that rape is increasing; well, according to the largest US anti-sexual assault group, this is a big lie: http://www.rainn.org/get-information/sta...al-assault

"Rape has decreased by 60% since 1993."

I also have a question for you, namely about your continual assertion that there isn't anything you can do to prevent a rape. If this is true, why are there so many websites advocating "tips" for avoiding rape: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe...iding+rape and why are there devices out there (like rape alarms) being sold to women? Do you think these have absolutely no effect?

Do you comprehend how unfeasible it is to suggest all women travel in packs? So, on the many occasions in which it is impossible, a woman should just accept it's partially her fault she was attacked?

Again, you fail to understand my point. Risks aren't set in stone. Walking 1 mile alone doesn't hold the same risk as walking 10m alone. If the girl has to take the risk, she has to take the risk. At no point is it her fault, or even partially her fault for getting raped. We've never argued that; we've consistently said that the fault lies with the rapist, but there are actions the woman can take to avoid rape in the first place.

I hardly think there are "many" occasions in which it is impossible for a woman to find an alternate way home. Most women have friends they can rely on; most taxi drivers I think would prefer to see a woman home safely, even if they had to trust her to pay them back at a later date.

Hey, asshole? I cited several links in my posts to provide evidence for my statements, including one that interviewed several rapists among others.

Way to not pay the slightest fucking bit of attention to reality dude!

Well firstly, my apologies, I misread your original quote. I took it to mean you thought someone in this thread (Dotard sprung to mind) was a rapist who had said this. Obviously that was wrong.

However, please try to keep civil. You don't need to call me an asshole because I disagree with you, or because I misread something.
