For feminists - The bottom line about rape



A lot of women get raped by exercising their rights. Their right to dress
slutty and still feel safe. Their right to be alone with a guy they barely
know, being drunk, and expecting him to respect her boundaries. Their right
to be sexually assertive, even agressive, but still have the right to say
"no" at any time.

Listen, idiots, this is the bottom line.

You may have the legal right to do any and all of those things, but do you
WANT to be raped? Or more specifically, would you like to AVOID being raped?

The answer is probably yes.

Curtailing all of the above behaviours will massively minimise your risk of
being raped. You have to accept having the right to do something doesn't
make you invincible. I may have the right to provoke someone twice my size,
but if I do it I'm liable to get my skull cracked. I may have the right to
walk down a dark alley at night in a bad neighbourhood in expensive clothes,
but odds are if it happens, I'm going to get mugged - even killed.

Use your common sense and get over this idea that "independence" means
constantly tempting fate by doing stupid things.

Rape (outside of prisons) is avoidable in 99.9% of sitatuations. This goes
for adult women, naturally a child being abused may not be able to avoid it,
but if you're an adult then you really have no excuse for not keeping
yourself safe.

So if you don't want to be raped, it's entirely in your hands. And if you
have been raped, for God sakes, LEARN FROM IT and don't let it happen again.
