Posted by aquarius09Majority of rapes are by someone the survivor knows personally, very well, inner circle. The narrative of a stranger attacking is not the reality for the majority.Posted by LittleStar_IIPosted by aquarius09Posted by LittleStar_IIPosted by aquarius09Posted by LittleStar_IIPosted by aquarius09
Yes, it’s rape. How well do you know this guy before you started sleeping with him?
Another question that doesn’t need to be asked.
This question needs to be asked because women need to watch out for their safety as well. We don’t live in heaven and get your head out of your ass and understand that humans have to take precaution. Do you not read the news how random people have raped women and then killed them? I’m glad she’s alive. Women need to watch out as well. This is very relevant! Yes, he needs to be reported because he did rape her. But if it turns out that she doesn’t know him, then it’s valuable lesson for her as well to:
1) Not go over to random men’s house
2) Engage in anything with randoms.
You’d think as little children we are taught not to speak to strangers, and here we are going over to their house and sleeping with them? She’s lucky to be alive. Now, she should go report and make sure she doesn’t indulge in recklessness like this again...given that she didn’t know him.
The only person responsible for rape is the rapist. Women and men have literally done everything right and still get raped.
Stop victim blaming. Start criticizing rapists for raping.
Read my post again because you seem to be drowning in your emotions to see clearly what I’m writing. I never condoned rape. I’m promoting safety first. Just because people do everything right and still get raped, that’s not grounds do be reckless and then get raped. I very clearly wrote that he needs to be reported but she also needs to learn something from this.
No, you aren’t understanding what I’m saying.
Your automatic response was to ask her what she did to get into that situation. Not to condemn the rapist or provide actual support or steps toward help.
No, I said very clearly that it’s rape, should be reported and then I went onto ask her about how well she knew this guy. I have a question for you. Is there no onus on people to look out for their safety? Suppose I go to a party, do I have no responsibility to keep an eye on what I’m drinking? Am I supposed to blindly trust strangers that they won’t drug me or take advantage of me?
I’m just telling her to be careful as well. We all know that not all stories end with “he raped me. What now?” Sometimes it’s more tragic - he raped and then killed the woman.click to expand
