Reply #170: Rape is not simply assault.

[ThomCat]

You clearly don't have a clue what violence against women is, or how epidemic it is. Your made-up statistic about assaults obviously doesn't include rape, sexual assault, or domestic violence or you could never say something so rediculous.

Violence against women is not just getting mugged.
Worrying about getting assaulted or mugged is not the same as worrying that you'll be raped and then blamed for it.

Little boys aren't trained from a young age to protect themselves by not wearing certain clothes, which simultainiously being told that they have to wear those same clothes. And if those little boys get beaten up, they won't be called sluts and be told that they caused it and deserved it.

Guys don't have to worry every time they agree to go someplace private with a woman that she's going to do horrible things to him, or worry that everyone will then blame him for it and defend her.

You can make up all the excuses you want, but if you don't actually do something to oppose violence against women then it's because you choose not to. You can't be bothered. You can blame it on feminists for not being pretty and kind enough, but they're fighting in the trenches and you're not. It's still your choice to stand there and do nothing, and then blame others for your own inaction.
