Reply #272: Women don't need to do that as well. [View All]

The great majority of people we encounter in our daily lives aren't out to get us and betray our trust. The media might make it seem that way, but it's not the case. Most people can live their lives without worrying about such things happening, and they won't. If you live in a bad area or are particularly afraid of being victimized, there are always self-defense classes, pepper spray and even guns.

And any asshole cop who would not believe a rape victim or try to blame them for the attack is also likely to be an asshole to just about any man he/she encounters as well.

Certainly there is a chance of being raped any time you step out of the door, that doesn't mean it's the least bit likely.

And I'm very interested in seeing where I did anything approaching dismissing rape. I responded to a post saying that men don't need to worry about being a victim of random violence. That's entirely untrue.
