Our Culture Of Victim Blaming (rape) by Nobody: 8:56pm On Apr 12, 2016
Soooo, unfortunately we live in a world where sometimes we have to curtail our behaviour and actions to avoid bad things happening to us so we're now forced to have to take certain precautionary measures that may reduce risks.
 
That saying, there’s a difference between valuable teaching of women to protect themselves (a non-accusatory approach) and telling victims what they should and shouldn't have done to cause the assault (which essentially rationalises the rape as a consequence of the victim's behaviour).
 
Put the same energy put into teaching rapists not to rape as you do blaming and telling the victim what their part was in the attack.

WHY IS THE FOCUS RARELY IF EVER ON EDUCATING RAPISTS NOT TO RAPE.
 
No one's dressing or behaviour gives someone the right to sexually assault them, you have the right to be aroused but what you do NOT have the right to is act on this and assault said person.

Stop acting like you not forcing yourself on someone is completely out of your hands and that you lack self control to the point of being ‘driven’ to rape. You ABSOLUTELY have control.
 
RAPE IS 110% THE RAPIST’S FAULT. RAPE IS THE RAPIST'S FAULT ALONE.

Hmmmm.

I'm not meant to post on this thread but I think you're a decent chic, when ya razor mouth is in check. So, I'll add my 2ps to it.

I completely agree with what you posited. However, it becomes dicey when you put into consideration that a lot of chics aren't rape victims and some do lie about being raped. And also the fact that men can also be rape victims.

But regardless, to true rape victims, I feel their pains. I've got sisters and personally, if this ever happens to any of my sisters, whoever is responsible has signed his death certificate. No one should ever touch the next person forcefully and against his/her will. It has to be consensual.

As for you, rather than keep opening rape threads every time you reflect on ya past - how about share ya story, so as to save other people from being rape victims? Nothing teaches better than experience. You can't just keep bottling everything up, thus becoming bitter. And that bitterness is the reason why you get disrespectful to innocent folks who have never raped anyone and have no intentions of ever doing it. Let it out and share ya story. You deserve to be free. wink

People who lie about being raped are also scum and should be persecuted and I commiserate with innocent people who have been falsely accused. Unfortunately it’s these types of people who destroy the credibility of true sexual assault victims. I also sympathise with rape victims of all gender identities so whenever I touch on this subject I’m speaking for everyone.

That’s a completely different topic however, I’m talking about the people who have actually been assaulted and are victim blamed.

Lol I’ve never been raped so it isn’t something that has affected me 1st hand personally but thanks for that still you may have just helped out a victim who comes across this wink

Lol nah no razor mouth here I’m soft as silk, I’m only disrespectful to people who mock it to be honest otherwise I love and want to hug everyone mueh mueh

I agree that real rape victims shouldn't be blamed.

Folks also need to be careful and not put themselves in a position where they can become victims. We live in a crazy world and regardless of how you're, you also have to be watchful and know how to make the right decisions so as to protect yourself. For example: you know a place is notorious for armed robberies, yet you decide to go out there to show off ya wealth. Yes, armed robbery is a crime but if you are stupid enough to put yourself in harm's way, I don't think anyone who hears the background story would want to sympathise with you as a victim.

Nobody has the right to rape anyone. Nobody also has the right to steal or rob others. So 1bkaye, when u sleep at night, make sure u leave ur door open since nobody has the right to rob you.

A lapse in good judgement can be costly and put one at risk but it doesn't make them responsible.

My point is that there’s a difference between saying ‘Don’t do x, it will increase the chances of y occurring’ and ‘You deserved y, because you did x’.

And my point is women shuld stop dressing provocatively, it will go a long way in reducing rape incidents. I hope dats wot u also mean.
