(16,038 posts)My response was strictly about the statement:
'Women could prevent rape by not wearing certain things, going certain places, or not acting a certain way'
I admittedly haven't kept up with this ongoing controversy. If someone is applying this statement to date or acquaintance rape, I wasn't aware. .
About non - acquaintance rape it seems like a no brainer for women (and probably men too) not to go to to those areas if it is possible to avoid them. The fact that there are predators and that some areas attract those predators more than others is being conflated into all men are somehow responsible for the acts of the few who prey..or that is how I read it, again, not having been involved in this ongoing controversy. .If I missed the context, sorry. .
