How so? I didn't even know what gender you guys were.

That's not how it works. You can't just do whatever you want and expect people to ignore it because you're human. I'm a human being as well, I get frustrated, but I'm not calling people "stupid" or "morons" or anything like that.
Quote:They often do. However, one must consider the irritation that occurs with the perception that however one makes a fully logical statement that is fully defensible only to have it thrown back in ones face - well, that is to be expected. I try to consider my audience, but as I am human, I cannot be all things.
When that happens, people usually don't seem to care, they just roll their eyes for they know they have nothing to prove. People get upset when they can't prove themselves.
Quote:But what lead up to it? Was the rapist mentally ill, poorly educated, allowed to run rampant, indulging in criminality beforehand?
What does that have to do with the victim? The victim can't control any of that, there's nothing they can do be "responsible", so why bring it up?
Quote:Was the victim walking through an alley against their better judgment, warned by others, aware of their surroundings, cautious?
It's been shown time and time again that "alley" type stranger rape is rare. Did you not read anyone's messages? It's more dangerous for you to be inside your house with your relative. Why didn't you bring that up?
Like I saw someone else say, that's like asking if a burn victim was standing on a ladder. Nothing to do with each other.
Quote:The world is not black nor white nor shades of graym but is of color.
That doesn't mean black and white don't exist (as in cases like rape).
Quote:It does not matter. You cannot, by definition, mind when you are dead. You desires are impermanent.
Yes it does matter. That is why people grant "dying wishes" for people. That is why people hold funerals for people that are already dead and wouldn't know if the funeral was taking place or not. That is why people have the right to decide what they want done with their bodies/where they want to be buried when they die. That is why so many people just won't speak ill of the dead. Dead peoples' wishes (or whatever they had before they died) matter.
