^ I know i'm surprised too !!

i for one think he might be BSing... hmmmm

Re: Poll reveals many feel women are responsible for being raped

what is the cutt-off age for determining which girl must be not wearing skirts?

if a fat desi auntie, with unshaven legs and cellulite dripping wears a short skirt…does that mean she’ll get to snag a hot guy?

what about little girls that play in skirts and shorts and entice pedophiles??

what is there to lust for in a little boy when a pedophile rapes him? i thought that only women were objects of desire? with their ever so desirable long hair and legs…

Re: Poll reveals many feel women are responsible for being raped

It is not the only reason but it is one of the major reasons in some cases.

Re: Poll reveals many feel women are responsible for being raped

It is understandable that a somewhat attractive girl wearing provacitive attire is most likely to be raped compared to a little boy or an old fat lady like you described.
Girls wearing provocative outfits should get some blame if they were to be raped.

My point is if you dress like a whore, the chances of you being sexually assaulted by some pervert is very high.

Re: Poll reveals many feel women are responsible for being raped

If she "deserves" to be raped Umair, then why doesn't the average man go out and rape a woman he sees walking down the street who is dressed in a fitted top or a skirt? Most men wouldn't, simply cause it is wrong. Rape is a punishable crime which is against the law for a reason. Nobody has the right to rape and you are justifying an atrocious act of violence which is something I do not agree with.

Rape isn't about sex or lust which is what a lot of people do not understand. It's about control, humiliation and power. What you wear is pretty much irrelevant. It's about subjecting the victim to violence in order to feel powerful. It's quite sick and twisted and people shouldn't equate it simply to lust.

Re: Poll reveals many feel women are responsible for being raped

umair: rape chances are high if the victim is vulnerable to the rapist. thats it.

that could include little kids since they are alone, girls walking ALONE down a street (skirt or burqa), a rapist thinking he can get away with it, a rapist thinking that the girl/kid will not talk about it to anyone (out of shame) as alot of people said its power play.

:k: i hope the poster above you understands this

Re: Poll reveals many feel women are responsible for being raped

People blaming victims. Wow. I mean the thinking level is so reduced that it does not even deserve an argument. Just a slap in the face. These people think that they live in a 'Just World'. You do what you do and what you do comes back to you. Karma. BS.

Buddy might be true but bad things happen to good people too. Rape is the prime example. A girl is out with provacative clothing and drinking is 'asking her self to be raped'? Are these people out of their bloody minds? There are certain crimes people do that might have some reasonablity behind it but not for rape.

The solution is simple. These people must accept that in a world where bad things -- such as poverty, rape, starvation, and murder -- can happen to good people for no good reason.

Re: Poll reveals many feel women are responsible for being raped

Nobody 'deserves' to be raped.

NO is after all a No..... regardless of how trashy and immoral a woman iz.

I think it has already been said in the thread, but reading it again sure would nt hurt.

Re: Poll reveals many feel women are responsible for being raped

In Massachusetts (and probably also other states), having sex with a girl that is drunk is considered rape, even if she consents.

Re: Poll reveals many feel women are responsible for being raped

Disgusting, the way some people think. It makes me cringe. How can anyone blame the victim in case of a henous crime such as rape. There's just no end to retardedness, now is there. A rape cannot be justified, no way.

Re: Poll reveals many feel women are responsible for being raped

Its still rape if the girl is drunk or out of her mind. Doesn't matter. You need an active CONSENT. However, I think that independent of the rapist's guilt, there is some responsibility to be shouldered by the drunk girl. Why was she drunk in the first place? It gives license to girls to go out wild, because they think that no one will take advantage of them because there are LAWS. But once the damage is done, its done.

Umair: You said its a major reason, dress that is. Then you need to produce a stat that says most women who are raped were ill-dressed. There just is no stat.

In fact, if anything, there are stats that say a significant number of women raped are raped at night in isolated dark areas and are usually alone. So yes, that's a major risk factor I think. Also, raping drunk/high girls is also quite a significant number. I never read a stat on dress apparel, though. If you can produce on, then great. And not just one. A bunch of stats that repeat the same findings.

Re: Poll reveals many feel women are responsible for being raped

^ damn straight

Re: Poll reveals many feel women are responsible for being raped

So, if tonight I go to sleep and forget to lock the door and come tomorrow my TV is gone, along with my expensive car, then who will be responsible?

Re: Poll reveals many feel women are responsible for being raped

Ahmadjee, I can't believe you actually support these buttheads. Do not equate a hypothetical robbery to a rape. And the analogy is so flawed. Where is the part where girl actually says NO to the advances of the man who is about to rape her? Good lord!! Wow, I am just speechless.

Re: Poll reveals many feel women are responsible for being raped

Ms. Chole, the point is that even though I left the door open, it doesn't mean the thief had any right to come into the house and steal. He cannot argue that just because the door was open, I share responsibility in his crime. No judge can reprimand me saying, because you left the door open I have to spend some time in jail too.

It is wise to keep the door locked but I don't share any responsibility at all. So, while it is unwise, actually stupid for a girl to be drunk at a party, it doesn't make her partly responsible for being raped. While others say that she shares some blame, I don’t think being stupid is a crime, otherwise we would have jailed our president since long.

Re: Poll reveals many feel women are responsible for being raped

the thief! :rolleyes:
maybe your insurance will not cover the expenses due to the theft if that was stated in the contract that you should keep your house locked in a certain way to be eligible to damage fees, but legally a theft is a theft, no matter if the house/shop is open or closed!

Re: Poll reveals many feel women are responsible for being raped

good!

Re: Poll reveals many feel women are responsible for being raped

The thief should be severely punished for his act, but I will not feel sorry for you because you were dumb enough to not lock the door while leaving the house.

Re: Poll reveals many feel women are responsible for being raped

OK, here is the scenario, girl flirts with a guy, seduces him, he is turned on, and they have sex.
The girl feels the guilt of having sex and does not have an answer to her family & friends, so she says she is raped. Whether or not it she consented, her acts lead up to this unfortunate event.
Eventhough the guy should be punished, the girl is of equal blame in my opinion.
