Until you have read them, do not respond to me again. You've already demonstrated that you aren't actually reading what I write, as your latest post demonstrates. So I'll let someone else explain it to you.
Because this is what you and the others are doing, right here:
"When they’re someone you know; someone very much like you. When you get that crumpled feeling in the gut that it’s only random chance it was them and not you, and your first instinct is to explain away why it happened to them (and could therefore never happen to you). "
And when it's pointed out to you, your response is to call the other person nuts and try to make them into a bad person.
Just like a rapist claims his victim was 'asking for it'. Same mentality.
And that is where the responsibility for rape lies. Not in what a woman wears, or whether she travels in herds, or whether she leaves her house at night. Those things don't 'increase her risk'. The above listed mentality is what increases her risk. That's what needs to change. That's what ultimately will lower rape.
Someday, perhaps, you'll grow up, and get it. But somehow, I doubt that day will be today. You'll just keep blaming me and stating I need professional help because I make you uncomfortable and point out how you are actively contributing to the high statistics of rape.
Because this is where your mindset leads, every time:

Read that article, before you respond to me. Actually read it, don't just click the link and look at the headline. Read the article. That's where your mindset leads. Every time.
