Re: Is a scantily dressed woman a "meat" responsible for her own rape?

Bull...
Are you a rapist male? Enough with your silly feminist psychological ramblings…
That might be the case in certain incidents but it certainly wouldn’t be all the time, rapists are horny bstrds and when women tease them they get a bit over excited but when they resist their moves maybe anger comes into play as well.
My friend got jail sentence because a drunk girl at a club took him back home whilst he was pretty pissed himself, had consensual sex with him, left him to sleep on the couch, went to bed, came down next morning to find him sleeping in her house so she rang police and got him done when ishe was just as responsible.. It's bloody SICK, a lot of the time these women are sluts and gagging for it and just as responsible as men but who gets done? Poor bloke, makes you sick!!

your friend was just as responsible as the girl here, for going home with a drunk women, dont use this as an excuse to belittle rape victims.
As for the maulvi, whilst it wasnt the best example to use, he does have a point. Heres something to ponder. most experts have suggested that rapists in the west, often go for a certain type of women, women that they can easily attack and make a quick get away from.
One factor that often comes up as their weak point, is their clothing. Not so much because it attracts, but because minimal clothing are easier to remove than say, several layers.
Other things also factored, anyone carrying something such as an umbrella or a bag, that could be used as a potential weapon was also a detterent incase they used it aganist the rapist. even strong eye contact could put them off for fear of being identified.
Now not carrying an umbrella or a weapon such as a spray might make you more vulnerable to attacks, but thats about it. It does not make you responsible. Theres a difference between the two, and so long as folks blame the vulnerable person, it is likely they are projecting the culprits own responsibilty onto the victim. a key mindset for an abuser.
heres another example that you've prolly heard of, a house that has a window open, will definately attract a thief more so then a house that has full cctv security system right? but should the thief get in and burgle the house, sure the owner was naive or careless to leave the window open, but thats about it. they are not responsible in the eyes of law!
the thief and only the thief will be held responsible. Now dont blast me for comparing women to houses, but the similar example definately applies. whatever the reason, no doubt half clothed women are more vulnerable, but that doesnt mean they are responsible for the unwanted action of someone else. Nor does it mean that fully clad women are not vulnerable either, perhaps not to the same extent, but they definately can be a target depending on how determined the attacker is.
In countries like pak however, getting away with it is usually not a problem, which is why even burka clad women are easy targets. Hence the problem here, is not the clothing so much as the one track mind set of the rapist and the consequences of the law, should they get caught.
