I'm amazed by how invested some of you seem to be in your fear of 'the criminals'. How important it seems to be to you to feel threatened by humanity at all times! And I wonder at the psycho-pathology of this.Apparently, you've never lived in city limits before.
They'll tell you that in a heartbeat, just in case you didn't know that they aren't omnipresent.
The fact is, you ARE responsible for your own safety and nobody else. Police enforce laws, they are not your personal bodyguard while you go out and be reckless
It's not victim blaming to tell someone else common sense. You all have gone as far as to propose 'teaching men not to rape'. That is nothing more than internalized misandry.
You all are a bunch of straight up fools- men sitting there agreeing with that nonsense.
Do you need to be taught not to rape? Then shut it- if you actually went out and preached that to random men that, you would eventually end up in a scrap with someone. Because all it is is insulting men to make yourself look good to women- they insult you and you defend them, like a fool![]()
I lived in Chicago's inner city for almost 25 years, and am well aware of the danger human beings can present to each other. And I certainly understand the need for not placing one's self in dangerous circumstances. Yet I'm astounded by this idea that it's the victim's fault should they be victimized by criminals at any time and under any circumstance. Because criminality is still criminality, regardless of the circumstances. And it is society's intent, and responsibility, to minimize it and even eliminate it, if possible. It's NOT the victim's responsibility to avoid it. It may be a good idea to try, but it's NOT anyone's responsibility.
This obsession with victim-blaming is truly pathological, and I would love to know what's fueling it. But unfortunately, those of you afflicted by it think it's normal, so will not be able to recognize that it is a pathological, let alone be able to tell me what's motivating it.
