The thing I don't get is... When given the chance some guys will rape. If you are passed out drunk, you just might be his target. Let's say he rapes you, he does 15 years in prison...
Do you still go to parties and gets passed out drunk?
No your entire life changes. Your normal sex life changes. You get scared to be around men and people in general a lot of shit happens after you get raped.
Trust me this lesson you're trying to teach this woman she has already learned.
ETA some women do exhibit more promiscuous Behavior after being raped feeling that their body has no value because it was taken from them.
Exactly. What to do tell the next potential victim?
We're not saying that there was nothing that could have been done to prevent the crime. And there is nothing wrong we giving out practical advice
The problem is conversation about rape continues to center on how WOMEN can prevent it
You can encourage women to take self defense classes, dress modestly, and to drink responsibly, fine... but conversations about rape that are framed in those terms aren't especially helpful
Then rape is an act of violence, not a spontaneous act of passion. Most are planned in advance. Most convicted rapists were married or had regular sexual partners at the time of the assault. So men can control their sexual impulses
The rapist is the one with the power in the situation, the rapist is the one doing the raping. In Brock's situation, had the victim not been drinking, I believe he would've ended up in a similar situation
What we should be moving towards is a dialogue that encourages clear consent given and received and teaches men about coercive sex and rape, as those things are not widely discussed
We also don't do a good job of teaching men to respect women as equals, or teaching women that they are worthy of being so respected
Of course we can't totally eliminate all rapist and murderers from the earth, but we can curb violent crime
Not every country, community, culture struggle with these ills....why do you think that is?
