In what way are we that physiologically different from other animals ??

Do men wait to smell or sense a woman at the time of ovulation in order to carry out their biological imperative?

To lake vixen ...

In what way do you consider yourself that physiologically different from other animal forms ??

Including the lack of control reqired by the left frontal cortex required to commit rape ??

When is the last time you stuck your nose up someone's *bleep* to say hello?

To jlives ...

What does the way that many dogs greet each other have to do with rape or rape prevention ??

In an open field a stallion will chase and "worry" a mare for hours as she is coming into ovulation, before she is ready to breed.
Have seen it many times. The mare can say no a thousand times but he simply does not accept her initial prolonged response.

This is the very definition of victim blaming. Women can walk wherever they want, wear whatever they want and be in a relationship with whomever they want with the expectation that it is not acceptable on any level to rape or abuse them!

I agree 100% But it isn't working is it. Till it can work 100% what is wrong with women taking sensible precautions?

When genocide occurs you don't say they shouldn't have lived in that country. When robbery occurs you don't say they shouldn't have had money in the store and it wouldn't be taken.

I see many sensible things being done to prevent robbery. When we had our business we had a drop box and kept a very small amount of money that staff could get to It wouldn't stop a robbery but it certainly would have lessened the harm. And yes police often give people and business's tips to be safer. Smart people follow them.

When embezzlement occurs you don't say they shouldn't have trusted their financial adviser.

We constantly see warning about what to watch for and what to check for. A smart investor takes many precautions. They do not guarantee you won't have problems but it can certainly give you a much better chance.

When child abuse occurs you don't say the child should have told someone and tried to get out of the situation. Why is violence against women excused?

Show me where I have once excused violence against women or blamed women.

Why would anyone dare to say rape culture does not exist? How on Earth could someone say with a straight face that women are not objectified?

And that's what it does come to. Women are objectified and are treated as if we are visual and physical entertainment for the masses. Nobody would ever have the nerve to tell a grown *bleep* MAN what to wear.

I guess you've never met my wife.

Well it's exactly the same for us. Stop telling us not to walk down the street at night and start telling your friends and family that it is not OK to rape, abuse, harass or otherwise cause harm to us.

I never once told anyone not to walk down the street at night but I have told them there are precautions they can take to make it safer.I do tell people that. My kids were brought up to understand it is wrong. They were also brought up to understand there are dangers and that there are precautions you can take to minimize those dangers.

There's your safety precautions, education and harm reduction. With the perpetrators WHERE IT BELONGS.

I agree but that does not eliminate the need to take sensible precautions. I have been in Paris, London San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Orleans and many other huge cities. I always make sure I know where I am and take any appropriate precautions. Does it guarantee something won't happen, no. But it does lessen the chances.

My red highlights.

I have never once said anything against education, harm reduction or anything else. I fully agree with it. I 100% do not think it will ever eliminate rape. For that very reason I feel it only makes sense for someone to do anything they can to help prevent it.

Many of the posts on this string are emotional responses. Emotionally governed people have difficulty dealing with incoming intellectual information like yours regarding an emotional topic like rape.

to answer don g , i thought about it and this difference is humans evolved past sex as a nessecity and now sex is a way to convey love pleasure intamacy and procreation of course . i said earlier that male humans have the sex just as procreation in them but that isnt acceptible behavour unless the women consents to sex .

[Myrn10]

Let's not totally blame men for objectifying women. Women are just as guilty of objectifying themselves for visual and physical entertainment.

Don't wax

Women getting an education are educating one another to not wax before going out and getting drunk if they don’t want to get involved in hookup porn rape culture.

i dnt have a link on my phone but it seems in the usa a 13 year old boy is charged with rape on schòolbus . the question now becomes where would this kid get the idea to attempt this?

If the article doesn't say why how about this.

[Smurf]

That is scary if it is true. Women are being controlled without even knowing it or as possibly being alluded to there, they know but still do it because it is the thing to do. I am certainly glad my wife is an extremely strong woman and raised our children the same way.They do what they want and not what someone or something else dictates and it has and is working well for them. I would say in all three cases they have friends and spouses who like them for who they are and not what they are. They have never been followers and I don't believe my grandchildren are. Starting on great grandchildren now so we'll see what happens.

Thanks for watching the video.
It's long but worth it.
Like she says people over 35 probably don't understand whaat is going on and young teen boys can't reason out what they can see for free.
It takes guts to use your computer to find out for yourself and tthat's probably what the makers and sellers are hoping that you won't have the guts.
And if people don’t believe what she's saying about teen boys tell it to the teen girls who killed themselves after guys raped them and passed their porn star evidence around for their friends to enjoy.

[Myrn10]

And you could say crimes are acted out on TV all the time in front of kids so who cares but in porn videos they can even get on their phones you don’t see any good guys busting in and rescuing the girls and arresting the perps for rape.

I had a boss tell me once when I was a safety officer to be careful how many posters etc. I put up all over the place or people go into overload and don't even see them any more. Is there a possibility that is happening to society. As a child you are constantly flooded with "don't do this", "don't do that". It never stops as you get older, "don't drink or use drugs", "don't speed or use cell phones when you drive", "you have to use life jackets" and on and on. Pretty soon all messages get tuned out including ones like "don't rape". I'm not making excuses, but maybe, just maybe it has something to do with why the message doesn't seem to be getting through. By the number of repeat offenders we are seeing all the time it would seem that rehabilitation is not working that well either. I definitely would say keep it up because we know it is working but are these people "some of them" on overload and it just goes in one ear and out the other.

I'm not saying this is true, just asking if it is possible. The mind does funny things especially if it feels overloaded. Is that why some children seem unconquerable.

[JLives]

The only campaign stating not to rape I have ever seen is the recent "Don't be that guy" campaign. There is hardly an overload of "Don't rape" campaigns. It was not taught in school. There are no signs up in bars. I never heard people in school or once I got out of school talk about it in classrooms or social situations. It is woefully unaddressed. The focus has remained on telling women what to do.

Just out of curiosity, have you visited every school on the planet? The focus does not remain on telling women what to do. Women can think for themselves perfectly well in this day and age. Everyone should be cautious of the situations that they are in. But that doesn't mean to sit back and be a wallflower. And if women are going to let the media dictate how they should dress and behave and the likes, then they need to grow a spine. Why would there be signs in bars? Do you think every man in a bar is going to pounce? Sorry but that's just silly.
