Women asking for rape?

I don't need to read your first post again.

I've already told you why people get mad about it.



There is no even if, it is unfounded, accept it.



Is it impossible to say a mugger has never mugged someone because they are wearing bright clothes? No, but we know the majority of rape cases don't happen because of that.

If it was true that only sluts got raped in this alternative reality my response would be: It is like telling gay people to not "act" or "dress" gay to avoid homophobia, there are plenty of homophobic everywhere does that mean gay people should avoid being themselves in fear? It not like locking your car.

Also wouldn't YOU rather listen to the advice? http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/album.php?albumid=5795&attachmentid=168555

Having your boobs out in that dress isn't avoiding attention yet you chose to do it. Why is that? Or are you just disregarding consistency, self respect and morals to impress your anti feminist boyfriend?

Owned.

I know that. I'm saying that a rapist would be more likely to walk up to the drunk girl in heels than the sober one in trainers

They're more likely to target a drunk girl in trainers than a sober one in heels.

No, not owned. My boobs weren't out. You can only see a small part of my chest

And that was for my graduation. I was in a group of about 30 people and staying round a friend's house with 3 others.

You're showing a lot of cleavage. Why not avoid attention? Why not a turtle neck?


Because no rapes have ever happened at high school.

Yeah. That's why I said wearing certain clothes will contribute to the whole image of "drunk, alone, in restricting clothes" if a girl is drunk and alone, and that the other factors there (drunk, alone) are more important

Do you actually read anything anyone says before replying? Seriously.

You seriously need to chill a bit, you make several threads a day on the same issue, the same replies come back to you.

Why is this suddenly such a huge topic on TSR?

Several implies more than 2. I've made 2, one yesterday and one today. The first one got deleted.

I think it's because advice on not getting raped falls into two categories. On the one hand, not walking home alone at night when you're absolutely plastered is good advice for avoiding being a victim of crime in general, including rape but also things like muggings. It's really unfortunate that as a woman I feel unsafe in situations like that, and it's definitely something we should work to change, but in the meantime not making yourself vulnerable in that way is a good idea.

The problem comes with public figures telling women how to dress to avoid rape because
1. it ignores the fact that rape is largely about domination and power rather than sexual attraction
2. It encourages society to begin placing blame on victims for "encouraging" sexual attention.

No I'm not. If I was, I wouldn't have been allowed to leave the house

Because it was a formal event. I had to wear a dress

My point was, I wasn't going to be alone, and therefore I wasn't going to have the main factor that decides whether someone is vulnerable... So did it really matter what I wore? I knew I was always going to be around at least 3-4 other people the whole night.

You're showing a lot of cleavage. Why not avoid attention? Why not a turtle neck?

I never claimed you did.

I have made no claims only asked questions.

You don't know what a straw man is, my question isn't based on a misrepresentation I never claimed you think they should wear burka's, learn to read, you'll suddenly see less strawmans.

You still avoided the question: Why oppose parents telling their daughter wear a burka to avoid male attention?

Sorry, you mean why not a burka, don't you?

So you're against burkas but not telling women they can easily avoid male attention by dressing differently? Seems legit.

Btw no women in islamic countries get raped right?

Your father isn't the universal decider of cleavage. I can see cleavage that's not even debatable.


You can get neck length dresses. You didn't avoid wearing one that showed cleavage. Why not? Do you not want to be safe?

Also girls can wear suits or chose not to go at all and avoid any attention. Don't get mad I'm only pointing out ways you can avoid attention that you didn't take.

All people who get raped plan on going home alone and plan on having their friends leave them?

You seem to be ignoring the fact that she was pretty much guaranteed safety for the entire night. There was no attention for her to avoid and if there had been, she had enough people around to dismiss it without problems.
