woman, sometimes partly responsible for rape?

Recommended Posts

Still trying to understand the consequences of being partly responsible.

For me, the consequences of having responsibility for what happens to me are that I have some control over whether or not I'm going to be a victim. Why do we give each other advice on how to stay safe? I hope it's because we realize that we have some responsibility to keep ourselves out of bad situations.

That in no way, in my mind, mitigates the guilt of a person who rapes someone. The rapist is the one who has broken the law....not the victim of rape, no matter what she was wearing or where she was.

Being aware that there are bad people in the world and taking steps to avoid them is smart. Not avoiding them is not smart....but it in no way makes a bad person less bad. Just makes me less smart :S

I agree 100% with Nightingale, although I think mine was even more "my fault". To be clear, I was not raped, but it could have gotten to that point had my friend not walked in. I got drunk to the point of passing out around a total stranger, which led to certain events taking place (which my friend thankfully walked in on the middle of). Does that mean I "deserved" whatever I might have gotten? NO. But could I have prevented setting myself up for it? Absolutely.

I agree with Gravitymaster . . . it shouldn't make a difference in the eyes of the court, etc. But in my mind, had I been raped, I would have always felt partially responsible - even somewhat forgiving of the perpetrator, sick as it may seem. Thankfully, though, it didn't get to that point, and I received a proverbial slap on the wrist for being so stupid.

Sorry -- not "you" in particular, just everyone who's participated in this stupid, uncontroversial "topic".



Yeah I guess you have to be raped for it to be a valid topic[:/]



Par for the course, your comment doesn't make a bit of sense.



It made perfect sense to me.

The problem here is that you're trying to separate (correctly) the two issues that Ian has tried to merge (incorrectly).

He's having a hard time with the idea that one person's behavior doesn't in any way justify the behavior of another.

We just had this discussion in another thread about Matthew Shepard. Different fact pattern, but the argument is supposed to be "if you put yourself in a dangerous situation, you get what's coming to you." The argument didn't work re Matthew Shepard, and it doesn't work with a rape victim.

Given that his original premise didn't have anything to do with walking around on the bad side of town, but simply with being a dick tease, all the arguments about putting oneself in harm's way (with strangers) don't even have a place here.

The real answer to the question is, "don't go home with Ian."

i think that this attitude of "i should be able to wear what i want, where i want, and when i want" is sometimes partly responsible for them getting raped...

BOLLOCKS!

BOLLOCKS!

UTTER AND ABSOLUTE BOLLOCKS!......
(make up the next 20 or so lines yourself!)

Maybe I shouldn't go on 'til I've counted to 10++++++++++! BTEW, anyone know of a way to make the start of my post any more visible & strident.

I could go on to discuss how foul & destructive Rape is. How it isn't about sex, it's about POWER!...

Naaahh... I'm off to post some comedy.

and you know that for a fact in every case do you? some decent bloke who has been chatting a girl up in a nightclub all night, they both have a snog and a grope... they agree to go back to her/his house, both are drunk... they start heavy petty on the bed, get naked and at the very last moment she says no.. he carries on and she cries rape... thats about power is it? i think those circumstances are purely about sex

Yep. Power. Forcing will.

Also... A long way away from your initial post about provocative dress in risky area!

Ask your G/f.

Incidentally... Did you, err... just get home after the Works Christmas Party when you posted this? Is this something more productively discussed "Wiff Yer Brief"?:P

Mike.:D

That's not just "crying" rape, that IS rape. It IS about power, and the guy who "carries on" is a rapist, and no different than the fella who lurks in the shadows waiting for a victim.

His initial post was about "...if a woman is dressed like a slut, leads a man on... goes back to his house, then says no to sex right at the last moment..... she must shoulder some of the blame for what happens next."

It got taken off track later on, but the original post was clearly about "date rape."

Having discussions and debates is exactly what this forum is about. For once, Ian's posts arent trollish!

We dont ban or warn people when they express opinions that are to many's views, way out there.

You know what mostly I think you’re funny or crazy in regards to your other posts.


But this one I agree with you.

If you act like a slut dress like a whore and lead a guy on make out with him play with his dick let him rub your pussy then say well I think I should go home at the same time your taking off your panties then yes you have to take responsibility for your actions.

I remember there was a story on here a few years ago about a teenager who fucked 2 or 3 guys in the same night but accused one of the guys of rape. Witch is fucked up in my opinion.

I know there is people who say well that’s was her choice, and by saying no or I want to go home the guy should jump off and say oh let me get you a cab. That’s bull shit and who ever does not think so is living in a dream world.

Here's another one women may want to avoid IMO.

yep.... I can see a guy being pissed, and not wanting to pursue a relationship with a person who would lead him on like that, but to think it's okay to go ahead and have his way with her is frightening.

Perhaps she's comfortable with some nekkid play and thinks that he is too. Is there no point at which she's able to say no? Her responsibility for what happens is in being with a person who has the capacity to rape her....

I think the "special" hat idea is a good one.

It would be so much easier if they wore special hats or something.:S



It really amazes me how guys get their dick hard over some woman and then thinks it's the womans fault and then the woman who caused it has some responsibility to relieve his immature little teenaged hard on because he no longer can control himself.

Yep. I wonder how these guys would feel if it turned out the "woman" was actually a transvestite and they got fucked in the ass by force. Would they claim they had it coming to themselves?

I sometimes think this is why it is better to get to know someone from a distance (online) first. You never know where these attitudes are going to come up.

What I do know is that people who think this way are people I want to avoid at all cost.

For the guy who made the statement:

It's not just women who get to change their minds at any time. I want you to think about all the times you've changed your mind about anything, and then tell me why sex should be different from any other decision one makes.

we're getting a little sidelined on the point i'm trying to make. I'm 100% agreed that all rape is wrong, But what i'm trying to say is that its also wrong for a woman to do certain things and expect her "no" to then be taken seriously every time. I'm talking about the real world here, in real situations

Since I don't go to bars, I have the ability and the maturity to choose women who don't either. It might surprise you to know there are many women who appreciate a guy for his intelect and they don't find it necessary to troll bars for losers.
