Objectifying women

[Cego_Colher]

They might not get raped more, it would just be a cautions thing to know that besides bringing good attention it might, may, maybe, bring some unwanted attention too. It is just one of these useless pieces of advice. Not of course is it to say that women who are wearing burqas aren't going to get raped. I don't care if women want to wear sexy clothes or not. I think they should be able to wear whatever clothes without fear. I am also pretty sure that no one is going to record such a thing for fear that people are going to say they are trying to blame the victim.

however, women from 15ish to 22ish are more likely to get raped. That is also the time in a woman's life when she is the most fertile. Older and younger females are probably more vulnerable, but it's the fertile women are more likely to be raped, probably because men find fertile woman more attractive. Woman in that age group experience a greater psychological pain after rape then other age groups. (a Natural History of Rape by Thornhill and Palmer)

The authors mentioned a friend of theirs that had been raped. "Why if her appearance was not relevant to her chances of being raped again, was she not reluctant to dress as attractively as she had in the past?" (ibid) of course this is just how the woman felt and was not a real part of the book– just a side note. (the account of the event was that she went on a date with him, he was attempting to initiate sex throughout the date and had apologized that he had to physically restrain her.)
"84% of rapists surveyed cited sexual motivation 'solely or in part' as a cause of their acts." (Ibid)
" 'She stood there in her nightgown, and you could see right through it– you could see her nipples and breast and, you know, they were just waiting for me, and it was just too much of a temptation to pass up' ." (ibid, then directed towards-- Men who Rape by Groth)

I really don't know why I felt the need to jump in to this debate again, because everyone will just get mad at me, tell me I'm blaming the victim whatever else they'd do. I do not ever believe it is the victims fault. (the authors of the book stated this as well.) The men who do this should be punished no matter what she was wearing or how she was acting. also, all I wish all women would report sexual harassments directed towards her so that he is punished accordingly.

But I thought it was going to be trying to avoid rape in this thread again. Oh, well, I... am probably not prepared for the anger, but (waves hand unenthusiastically.) send them this way.
