Thread: A Different Rape Topic (About the Rapists)

LadyLarunai said So since this was necrothredded yesterday I guess I with throw coins at people... Where's the flame shield Ok I will start this on the most touchy part and I will use the same analogy The teach your boys not to rape thing is a load of crap, 99 of the population knows rape is wrong just as 99 of people know stealing is wrong.. Next, although often seen as victims blaming the teach victims to avoid rape is actually plausible, this does NOT mean the victim was asking for it it's said on the basis of agency if you have the option to do something to lessen the chance of rape then doing so would be a good idea, like locking your doors when you leave the house at night, no you are not asking to be robbed if you leave your doors open but locking them lessens the chances, this one is usually twisted a lot but does have merit when you look at things proven to lessen chances of rape and assault. Onto rapists themselves, there are more than the stock standard cereal rapists and narcicistic kind but interviews with rapists citation might take a while to find have shown that most are opportunistic, they look for vulnerabilities like any other thief, they can read you, if you are overly drunk, clutching your handbagwallet in nervousness alone and looking over your shoulder they can read those nuances and pick their target, the same with date rapists and most rapists they look for vulnerabilities, if you look like you will kick, scream and punch the first person that looks at you funny you put on an air of dont mess with me, these same suggestions are on some police sites when it comes to lowering the chances of muggings, even then this won't stop it, it will just lower the chances of it occurring. I will keep sex wars out of this one but to answer everything Choice makes a rapist a rapist No teaching people not to rape will not work as its already taught Apart from a steel chastity belt not much will stop rape Click to expand... I agree although it could be said that 99 of Westerners know that rape is a crime and a violation of human rights, I would argue that in many other cultures and countries it is a tolerated activity if not actually endorsed in many ways. Here is an article that comes from a survey where one in four Asian men said they have committed rape so that in itself says a lot for different cultural perspectives on this topic. I also agree with teaching women how to avoid or lessen the chance of being raped, I hate that is considered victim blaming. For a start lets say you leave your house unlocked and post on Facebook that you are going away and then you get robbed. Would it be fair to say that you made yourself a target? Now why is not fair to say if you get into a van with a group of guys who are drinkingdrugging etc that you are also making yourself a target? I think Feminism has a lot to answer for in this respect as it preaches that a woman should be able to do anything she wants without fear of being attacked and although that is a nice though as is not having to lock my car when I park it somewhere, the truth is there are people out there who will do nasty things to you and you have to be wary. Ivory11 said there are many misconceptions over rapists. first, the myth that rape isn't about sex, it's about power now this is complete bullshit, Rape is about a person both male and female, of course often female rapists are rewarded not punished being so desperate for sex, that they'll do it with an unwilling partner. Second, the tell boys not to rape just saying remember don't rape anyone is honestly offensive to myself as a male non-rapist, the only way an environment can make someone a rapist is if they either grew up in a crack-infested home where the person got into raping from sheer pressure from other people as a way of giving themselves some sort of misguided self worth.... either that or they live in a country like Haiti or Liberia. you see, when it comes to rape tell boys not to rape is just pissing in the wind, a rapist will rape, they are sociopaths, they care nothing for other people, a sociopath will rape no matter what you say that's what rape's all about after all and a non-rapist won't rape you either way. And just a reminder, not all rapists are male, there are many many female rapists, but because our society doesn't see female rapists as a problem, we pretend they don't exist. Click to expand... I've also wondered about the rape is about power slogan, in some cases it would be, rape during war for example or when rape is used as a weapon of some sort to humiliate or denigrate a person for whatever reason. But what about date rape? The man and woman are getting it on and hormones have gone into over drive, perhaps both are drunk, and the woman says No, stop ok, sure it's her right, but the man is fired up and it will take a second No at the very least to make him stop, is it rape if he does not stop at the very second? Just a thought, I prefer tomatoes if you are going to throw things. I also have seen a rise in Females, particularly High School teachers having sex with their students and sending them nude selfies, now back in the early 90's and prior Feminists claimed that sex was a Heterosexual Male phenomenon, I knew that was bullshit as I had Gay male friends who would tell me stories that I swear fit the rape description. My last thought, Tell Boys not to Rape, yes it is insulting as you say and reminds me of the Nancy Reagan Just say No campaign against drugs and that went really well, at the end of the day you can only teach people respect for one another and hope for the best and when it all goes wrong you punish them according to the law. On a related side note, Sweden which has a very prominent feminist outlook and a very high level of rape due mostly to foreign men, actually punishes the rapists with fines and community service, a fine?! So they turn the victim into a whore, that's showing the rapist the hard way!
