Objectifying women

[gameslover]

With respect to gameslover (whom I refer to as my illogical friend for missing the point of my earlier statement so utterly it is beyond annoying):

You know, my illogical friend, that you increase your risk for being mugged by walking into an alley full of untrustworthy characters.

You increase your risk for being hit by a car by just walking outside.

You increase your risk for a sudden onset of cardiac arrest by just eating a burger.

Had you done none of those things, you would have almost no risk as opposed to some.

You. Moron.

There are ways to decrease risk of rape. The easiest is education. Show in culture it is wrong. Idolize those who stand up, who fight against it. Advise others to know their surroundings.

You cannot decrease the risk to zero - there are always bad things, always exceptions.

But no, you are completely wrong.

And now you're name-calling as opposed to providing rational argument.

How am I supposed to pick you out from the sea of victim-blamers (yup, blamers) here? Where did I "miss your point" because I recall I responded directly to peoples' quotes.

You can get mugged in other places besides alleyways. You can get hit by a car while sitting in a car (not outside). You can increase your odds of cardiac arrest by eating other things, burgers aren't the only food that increase risk of cardiac arrest.

I have a question/request to anyone reading this. I remember always in school being told that rape is not about sex but power, but I haven't found a lot– if any really– of studies confirming this. I found two articles I'm going to see what they say, but if anyone knows of any could they link/ tell me the name of the whatever so I could find it? Thank you.

source of women rapes-- a Natural history of Rape (by thornhill and palmer) They also cite- Svalastoga 1962; amir 1971 MacDonald 1971; Miyazawa 1976; hindelang 1977; hindelang and Davis 1977; Russell 1984; kramer 1987; whitaker 1987; Pawson and Banks 1993. They also cite that Groth 1979 states that less then %5 of rape victims are over age 50. ((I just copied those from their in text citations)
attractiveness-- http://viewzone2.com/attractivenessx.html this page mention it a bit as well as the previous(a natural history of rape). Women are more fertile during that time period and would need to attract a mate.

I can tell you from personal experience. The "friend" who raped me wasn't attracted to me at all, he hates lesbians and wanted to see one squirm and try to "turn" them.
