but you don't hear enough of the message to boys/men to stop raping women. Whenever there is a rape story on the news and in the newspaper I hear/read the same rhetoric.
I understand they are trying to protect women and keep women safe but this is just something that always bothers me.

Because it's easier to view one as a potential victim vs viewing one as a potential predator.

I guess because it really shouldn't need to be "taught".No one with any sense of decency should even dream of doing such a horrific thing. :sad1:

True but we know that its something that happens everyday. I just read about two women who were raped by 10-12 minor in the daylight.

Telling people to not do a crime, and expecting them to immediately stop is not likely going to happen, and that is why others should know how to protect themselves. Also, women are not the only ones who are victims, and men are not the only ones who do the crime. Women do the crime too, and men can also be victims.

:female: Girls/women rule. However, there's nothing better than learning some self-defense. You need to know how to protect yourself and be safe.
Take a self-defense class and keep practicing. I know that sounds like overkill, but it could save your life someday. And, should you ever experience some sort of violence against you, yourself; people, including all authority figures, will take it for granted that it was YOUR fault. Bad news there, but true. :bs:
Add to that, people don't always think about what could happen when they're distracted. In the parking lot, you need to pay attention to
your surroundings. Good practice.
On the road, you need to know that you're driving a powerful machine, capable of killing in an instant. Don't drive distracted, by anything!!
Don't wait until something happens to you to think about protecting yourself. :BangHead:
Sermonette over. :heart: Go on about your day and have a great Labor Day weekend. :star: :star: :star:

They're trying to sink this idea in to women's heads because they're trying to take away everyone's right to carry a firearm. Does anyone seriously think a WHISTLE will stop a rapist? I think the best one I heard was "urinate in your pants." Are you kidding me???? If a woman feels threatened, or gets in to a situation, and she's carrying a firearm, you just watch how fast that fool will run.
Rape isn't a crime of passion. It's a crime of VIOLENCE. The perpetrator enjoys the violence and fear instilled into whatever or whoever he's attacking. We have a right to protect ourselves against people like this. My choice is a gun - not a whistle, not peeing my pants, not screaming my head off.

There is a culture of disrespect towards women in general. I've heard too many cases recently of women being gang-raped by a group of young men. They have no respect for women let alone themselves. So in a sense I do see that there are a lot of young men who aren't taught to treat women with respect.
On the flip-side, there are just men who are plan violent. Rape is an act of violence, dominance, and control. So I think you have two categories of people who rape. Either way, it wouldn't hurt to learn some tactics to defend yourself and/or carry some kind of mace/pepper spray or gun with you or in your car.

I think that messages directed at potential victims are just the way it is, and should be. Regardless of the crime, be it rape or robbery the ONLY ones that it can possible have an impact on are those that are subject to the criminal activity! Seriously, thugs, robbers, rapist could care less about any 'public warnings' and are already screwed up to the point that they have DECIDED to live out side the laws of decent society.
-
Women are usually easy targets even if they know self defense. In some cases, some women get victimized even if they know how to protect themselves. If the rapist is stronger than the victim, of course the person will empower the victim. A threat or a knife or even a gain, can stop a girl from protecting themselves too.
But what I really don't understand is what drives people to doing such hanious (don't know the spelling) crimes. Of course other than those who are mentally ill. What?
-
It should all start at home. If a young boy is properly taught respect for women and sees daddy respecting and doing for mommy, then actions speak louder than words. Domineering daddies carry a strong message to their sons and they then become the pricks that want to exert their power and authority in any way they can.

I believe we hear rape education for girls/woman more than boys/men because statistically females have a higher statistic to the crime. Either Sex needs to hear the message and know what to do in the event they are ever raped. Not all girls/woman have a liberal stance nor are exposed to it. So teaching girls to be brave, speak up and out, protect themselves, be strong etc... is more heard. After all most boys start learning about being tough early on - there DNA alone is designed for them to be masculine and strong. Therefore "fighting the predator off," is easier for a male opposed to a female. (generally speaking) And that is my theory on why we hear about rape prevention for females more so.

What do you suggest? Public service announcements?
"Hi I am a celebrity and rape is bad... so stop it!"
*The more you know*

HA! right? omg this is a stupid world we live in... some people lost their brain along the way duh...is rape bad? YES!!! morons
-
wanna stop rape? remove his... :P lol
-
because it's more common than you think and I'm sure they do tell guys to stop but its illegal to rape and they know it as to where women have to protect them selves against being raped so telling a guy to stop raping girls is like telling people not to steal from Walmart they know its wrong and illegal but they do it anyways.
-
how can you prevent from being raped their is no way that you can prevent from being raped so just remind ing women about it only makes it worse.
-
Repitition is the name of the game, the more women are told how to prevent rape gives them mental power to have if if does happen they will know that they took steps to negate it but they were overpowered and Rape will mess with their minds FOREVER, do you think the rapist thinks of that?
