Then we agree, yes?
i dont know
this is MY statement
everybody should be aware of thier environment and not drink so much that it prevents them from doing so
if you agree with my statments that good for you
Some environments are more dangerous for certain kinds of people than others, and so require a greater degree of caution from them. Whether anyone happens to like it or not, this is the case for women at bars, clubs, and parties (just as it would be the case for me in a gay club, or in a lower income neighborhood).
However, apart from that minor clarification, yes. Your statement is satisfactory.
im glad you agree with the common sense facts that many have presented in this thread
the rest of you added opinion is just that, opinion and you are free to have it
It is a fact that women are more likely to be raped than men, especially so in environments with alcohol and large concentrations of young men.
yes stats support that women are more likely to be "raped" then men :shrug:
good thin nobody said otherwise huh lol
Which is why it is generally a good idea for them to be more careful than a man might have to be in the kinds of environments where rape is common.
well since rape isnt the only concern when people are abusing alcohol no, everybody should be careful
With regards to flirtation and sexual advances?
weird i dont remember talking about either of those, guess you are just going to keep making stuff up lol
you agreed with MY statement, ill refresh your memory
""everybody should be aware of thier environment and not drink so much that it prevents them from doing so"
you might have some type of ADD or something and NO thats not an insult, its an honest suggestion, i volunteer with kids that have that and similar conditions and it seems to fit the illogical way you insert things into a discussion that arent there
Uh huh. :lol:
It's okay, J. I accept your concession regardless of whether you're willing to follow your own reasoning to its logical conclusion or not.
It doesn't matter what happens where. The simple fact of the matter is that you have provided absolutely no hard evidence to back your claims.
You're basically making an appeal to ignorance.
i.e.
"We can't know for sure, so it must be higher!"
I'm sorry, but that's not the way these kinds of claims work.
Which is very terrible, but without some hard data comparing actual rates here, we can't really make a judgment.
Again, according to some sources, as many as 25% of women in the United States are raped before they graduate college. I'm not sure if I believe that figure, but if true, it would be a pretty massive chunk of the overall female population.
I have a pretty hard time believing that a society which tends to keep its women out of public could have a rate anywhere near that high.
And there are plenty of other countries that have higher rape rates per capita, including some 1st world countries.
Top 5 Countries with the Highest Rates of Rape
It has nothing to do with how women dress, whether they are out on the town clubbing, going on a date, or just walking around. Their attire is not what gets them targeted by rapists in general. Some specific rapists may target some women in specific clothing, but even then it could be absolutely any type of clothing including fully clothed or dressed extremely conservatively. But date rapists would be more likely to target personalities or simply target women who go on dates with them, with no care for whether their clothing says "I'm easy" to them. Because the date rapist isn't likely to have to worry about that, after all they are already on a date with the person. As for the pickup type rapist (pickup a woman from the bar who simply agrees to go someone "more private" with them), well even then you wouldn't know what exactly attracted the man to the woman. It is almost definitely not going to be what they wear, specifically not the "skimpy" or "more revealing" clothing because that mainly attracts rapists. Any type of clothing could still attract this pickup type rapist, because they are more likely to use location/intoxication into account more than clothing. Any woman who they meet in clubs could say "yes" to going home with them but still turn them down for sex. And most men know this.
