Women should dress modestly or expect to 'entice a rapist...'

[Ravi]

Skye, you are being a little loose with the truth.


15% are under age 12
29% are age 12-17
44% are under age 18
80% are under age 30
Ages 12-34 are the years with the highest risk
Girls ages 16-19 are four times more likely than the general population to be victims of sexual assault.

I mean really, what's next? Should women purposefully make themselves unattractive to avoid rape too? What?

 

[Asclepias]

Dressing conservatively certainly should never make you feel that you cannot be raped. That is just not the case. Clothing is very little issue next to the vulnerability factor.

Exactly. Thats a dangerously ignorant concept to try and tell people.

Again, we're speaking of probab ility. Not absolutes. Putting on a seat belt doesn't make you immune to harm in a car accident. But it will definitely reduce the odds of serious injury. Per the logic being forwarded here, if a method of prevention doesn't have an absolute record of effectiveness, why bother?

Do we apply this logic *anywhere* else? Do we leave our car doors unlocked, our front door open because locks aren't fool proof? Of course not. Do we refuse to bring a cell phone because there may be somewhere where the signal doesn't work? Of course not.

You engage in the prevention you can to protect yourself and help sway the odds in your favor.

You have absolutely zero proof of what the probability is. If you have no data that supports your claim how can you calculate probability?

 

[Contumacious]

A rapist would sometimes probably AVOID the loud-mouthed drunk girl who is making a scene. The quiet demure shy woman might be the bigger turn on for HIM. Rape is USUALLY a crime of opportunity. They really are NOT that choosy in most instances. They are seeking out a VICTIM.

The provocatively dressed woman will get more attention from someone seeking sexual gratification.

Rape is not about sexual gratification. Its about power.

Here we go again, the standard feminist narrative that all rape has the same root cause. You guys are closed minded, and a broken record.

Until you can prove otherwise you will be forced to listen to that same record. Can you prove the broken record is wrong?

Can you prove it's always about power and never about sex ?

OF COURSE HE CAN'T

 

[Asclepias]

I mean really, what's next? Should women purposefully make themselves unattractive to avoid rape too? What?

Please dont do that.

 

[Ravi]

Anybody can get laid, even if they have to pick up a prostitute. Rapists have a real need, as evidenced by the fact that they are risking imprisonment, and that need is not satisfied by having consensual sex. It is all about power and anger.

Exactly. I've seen people post that if someone is married they can't also be a rapist.

 

[Skylar]

Not just the same root cause. But that one and only one motivation can ever effect behavior, regardless of the circumstances, person, or context. Always and every time without exception.

A rapist can't be sexually attracted to any woman, can't have any preferences, can't prefer anything. His sole motivation that effects behavior is his desire for power. Why motivations have to be perfectly pristine and absolute has never been explained. Why couldn't a rapist have a thing for power....and red heads?

There has never been a compelling reason to explain it. Worse, if rapists were genuinely void of any sexual attraction to related women to an almost ludicrous degree. With 21% of all rape victims being between 18 and 21 years of age. Those 3 years represent a full 1/5th of all rapes. While women over 50 make up less than 3%. All of them.

When asked to explain this wild contradiction to their assumptions......they've got nothing.

In no other context would we so glibly accept such cartoon caricatures and absolutist thinking as valid. But when it comes to rape, some people just shut down parts of their brain and embrace the cartoon. As if by pretending that rapists can possess only one possible motivation.....that they're magically bound to the stereotype.

Um, no. They're not. And pretending otherwise doesn't protect any woman.

Hello? I do believe I "had something" regarding the age. Young women get raped more often because they are more vulnerable. More likely to take risks, more likely to have lower confidence, more likely to find themselves in situations where they are acting stupidly.

Older women are far more vulnerable. Hell, if vulnerability were your standard....old folks homes would be a rapist hell hole. But they aren't. Rape is extremely rare there, despite a bonanza of your assumption of causation.

And if were merely vulnerability and bad decision making, then why aren't young women equally represented in all other major forms of violent crime? Why is rape *specifically* have victims of the youngest age on average? Murder, assault, robbery, all skew much older.

But rape skews young. If 'vulnerability' were the basis, then all other forms of violent crime would skew as young. But they don't.

You can keep making up elaborate and baseless narratives backed by jack shit to explain away the mountains of evidence contradicting you. Or you can acknowledge the obvious:

that sexual attraction plays a role in how rapists pick their victims.

Persons 18-24 are also the most vulnerable for homicide, as well as other crimes.

http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/htus8008.pdf

Approximately a third (34%) of murder victims and almost half (49%) of the offenders were under age 25. For both victims and offenders, the rate per 100,000 peaked in the 18 to 24 year-old age group at 17.1 victims per 100,000 and 29.3 off enders per 100,000.

The average age of a murder victim is about 30. The average age of a rape victim is about 25. If 'vulnerability' were the only factor, then there would be little to no difference in these numbers.

Murder is not the same as rape. Totally different crime. You are a victim of logical fallacies.

The factors of availabity are the same. If availability is the cause, then the ages would be comparable on average. Clearly there are factors you're not taking into account.

And again, for the 3rd time....show me that women 18 to 21 are 25 times more 'available' than women over 50. If 'availability' is why these women are raped 25 times more often, then it will be remarkably easy for you to factually establish.

Again you are employing logical fallacies. Specifically the appeal to probability mixed with the unwarranted assumption fallacy. Rape is different from murder which is different from mugging. etc etc. Just because murder victims are 20-30 years old doesnt mean the same thing occurs for mugging victims. The approach you are using is not based on logic. Its based on your opinion which is dangerously silly.

For like the millionth time, of course old ladies are not going to be raped as often. Women who are out getting drunk are most at risk because they don't have their wits about them. Most of the women out getting drunk are YOUNG women.

Bullshit. When's the last time you were in an old folks home? The vast majority of workers are FEMALE.

And I already showed you that ALL victims of violent crime skew young.

Rape victims skew youngest of any victims of major violent crime. With the average age of murder victims being 5 years older than the average age of rape victims.

And if 'vulnerability' were the sole basis of rape, why aren't nursing homes rife with rape?

Did you miss where I posted that most nursing home workers are women?

Unless most rapes occur at work, what possible relevance does that have? If "vulnerability' is the basis of selecting victims, then why do rapists not go to the nursing homes where victims are plentiful, often unable to move or make much noise, or sometimes even speak?

There's clearly something that you've missed.

One category is always going to skew the youngest. The reason young women are more likely to be raped has been explained to you repeatedly.

Then why aren't the average ages of victims of all other major violent crimes as young as rape victims? They skew younger than ANY other group of violent crime victims. If 'vulnerability' were the sole criteria, then the average ages would be comparable.

No.

 

[ChrisL]

I think I made my case with the example of street whores. They might be young, but they are certainly not attractive for the most part. A lot of times they don't even dress sexy, yet they are the most likely group of women to be raped. It is because they are easy targets, not because they look sexy.

 

[Ravi]

Oh wait, I'm 37. I guess I'm all set.

LOL, how true. No self respecting rapist would want you!

43% between 6:00pm and midnight
33% between 6:00am and 6:00pm
24% between midnight and 6:00am
Nearly 6 out of 10 sexual assault incidents were reported by victims to have occurred in their own home or at the home of a friend, relative, or neighbor.

^from my link. Most rapes occur when the older women are tucked in their beds or home with their significant others. The majority of rapes occur during party hours.

You can keep making up elaborate and baseless narratives backed by jack shit to explain away the mountains of evidence contradicting you. Or you can acknowledge the obvious:

that sexual attraction plays a role in how rapists pick their victims.

Bullshit. When's the last time you were in an old folks home? The vast majority of workers are FEMALE.

And I already showed you that ALL victims of violent crime skew young.

Rape victims skew youngest of any victims of major violent crime. With the average age of murder victims being 5 years older than the average age of rape victims.

And if 'vulnerability' were the sole basis of rape, why aren't nursing homes rife with rape?

Did you miss where I posted that most nursing home workers are women?

Unless most rapes occur at work, what possible relevance does that have? If "vulnerability' is the basis of selecting victims, then why do rapists not go to the nursing homes where victims are plentiful, often unable to move or make much noise, or sometimes even speak?

There's clearly something that you've missed.

One category is always going to skew the youngest. The reason young women are more likely to be raped has been explained to you repeatedly.

Then why aren't the average ages of victims of all other major violent crimes as young as rape victims? They skew younger than ANY other group of violent crime victims. If 'vulnerability' were the sole criteria, then the average ages would be comparable.

You don't just waltz into a nursing home. Where do you come up with your ideas? And of course the fact that most nursing home workers are women matters. Women generally don't rape women and most residents are also women.
