I'm a guy, and I like looking at pretty women. But I can control myself and don't jump on them like they're the last chopper out of 'Nam.
Well if you apply the logic of the blog writer to males then the guy who got ass raped in the deliverance movie must have deserved it because he had "purty lips".

I think you misrepresent it somewhat by calling it "logic"

As long as we're blaming victims, why should we not kick this guy's ass and blame it on him for being a misogynistic asshole?

Wait...can you confirm what you mean here? I mean, iron chastity belts would decrease the number of rapes. Women staying indoors would decrease the number of rapes. What are you actually proposing?

I believe he is proposing that they dress less slutty. Apparently, very few people are aware that rape has nothing to do with what a woman is wearing. We have had this conversation on these forums before.

I'm not proposing anything, I just get annoyed with feminists saying that. I mean being taught how not to get raped (if it's even possible) doesn't have any downsides, right? It's just pragmatic.

Perhaps children are just asking for it . . . you know, the innocence and all . . .
Well, considering I'm male and it happened to me when I was seven years old (and that is all I am going to say about that), perhaps a logical extension is simply encase everyone in a chastity belt. Or lock everyone up in seperate rooms.
Forfend that we should decrease the number of rapes by taking paedophiles and rapists (and both sexes get raped) off the street, and educate people that rape is never the fault of the victim, any more than murder or arson.

Did I mention dressing less slutty? I'm aware that people not dressed slutty are just as likely to get raped. It's the principle of the thing I object to. I mean I'd take considerable measures to decrease my chance of getting raped, I know it is not rape victims' fault but that doesn't mean rape-avoiding strategies shouldn't be looked into. I know a lot of people say society should teach people that rape is wrong and shit, but bad things happen, you know? It's the same reason I lock my door even though nobody should be stealing my things.

I don't know, is it? Depends. What is it we're teaching them?

Ok, so chastity belts for all then. Gotcha.
