"My Rapist Doesn't Know He's A Rapist"

[Tigress DEM]

33. Doesn't really wash.

The woman from the OP was raped by her (now ex) boyfriend.
Women in the 60's wore mini-skirts, but rapists rape 80 year old ladies too. NO.

To extend the argument I made to the woman in the OP - he was her boyfriend, she'd probably already done allowed him in her car without repercussions, and if there were diamonds on the front seat next to the keys and the Wii he'd never stolen them before and he'd never raped her before either.

Here's the thing. RAPE isn't about SEX. It isn't about desire. It's about POWER. This bozo HAD her as a girlfriend. If she wanted to wait and he didn't, then he needed to negotiate or find another willing partner. INSTEAD he chose to violate her trust and take what he wanted.

To extend the argument I made to the teacher and the answer key. Wearing a mini skirt or being in a private place with someone you have previously trusted, isn't like having the answer key on your desk and walking away. A rapist is going after the "key" that's safely tucked away in a private place and a rapist has to go through a person to get at that key. So again, this layer of blame you are assigning is a myth and the example not even comparable.

To extend the argument I made to the Bankers and regulations. Wearing a mini skirt or being in a private place with someone you have previously trusted, isn't like expecting that every banker is an honest banker. We aren't talking about money and some manipulation of funds or hidden accounting books, we are talking about physical, personal violation. Rape is already against the law. Banking regulations that would be stronger would regulate the bankers not the customer. So stronger laws against rape should not penalize the victim either.

If you leave all your presents in the trunk, with the trunk open, most people blame themselves and not the thief.

So if you have the trunk open because your boyfriend/girlfriend is supposed to be helping you bring them into the house and the boyfriend/girlfriend changes their mind and steals all the presents and beats you and tells you that you deserved it, then you blame yourself, not the person who just flipped into phsyco mode on you?

Or if you have a hatch back instead of a car with a trunk and even though your presents aren't showing there is more window to view inside of your car, so that makes it your fault when a thief uses a crowbar on your window, takes your presents and beats you while telling you it's your fault.
