(110,159 posts)it is offensive to suggest what a woman wears has a bearing on her being raped. that puts the ownership on her, and it is bullshit, and it is a false security that what she wears has any relavence to being raped. yes... that is offensive. yes, that gives ammunition to her fault, look at what she wears. yes it is a subtle ... you can rape cause look what she wears. not overt. so yes... offensive.
will i tell my niece to pay attention to surroundings? yes. and still if my niece gets raped? well hell, she paid attention all the way up to and thru out the rape. woopy.
and when the rapist climbs thru the window and rapes the 76 yr old nun. ya... what?
the reason this is an issue is really, it is pretty damn worthless.
the gender of the rapist is insignificant? bullshit. the message needs to be to the boys and men. that simple. adn to all of us when to speak out, since so many of our kids do not seem to recognize they are allowed or are suppose to speak up when seeing a group of boys raping an unconscious girl, instead of videoing it and putting out on the net.
