We all know there are mentally ill people found in every society, who could get excited and can't control their temptations when they see women with even a bit of revealing in their dresses. The more the revealing, the more they get excited. As it is not written on their faces that they are potential rapists, and they can be found in any field in any department. They might be only patiently waiting for the right time and opportunity to attack them.
How can a woman make sure she is safe from such people when she goes out with reveling dress or very less dress ?
It's not mental illness, it's the conditioning of a society. When women are viewed as women,but as equals (and not subjected to strict gender roles as well), then we won't see rape occur anymore. While I personally believe that men who commit this crime are evil and should be executed, we do understand a large part of why there is such a prevelance of rape across the globe.
As I said before, rape is not about sex. A man may be attracted to a woman, and when she rejects him, the goal is no longer to have sex with her, it is to dominate and humiliate her. Sex becomes the weapon, but not the motivation.
Women need to be socialized to be STRONG, and NOT submissive. They need to learn from childhood that it's ok to play rough. Boys are expected to take care of their problems themselves, and girls are expected to run home to their mothers crying when someone slights them. This needs to change. We equate masculinity to aggressiveness and independence, while we equate femininity with fragility and submissiveness. This needs to change
I view it this way. Instead of trying to fight the symptoms of this social ill, fight the disease. And the disease is in the mind.
