Thought this might go down nicely here.
Hmm, maybe your last post got mixed up with the **** Falkner92 came up with.Weaver 说:Are you sure you're not confusing me with someone?
Yeah yeah. It's not only that. This is something that is told girls, growing up, so many times. Teachers, social workers, youth workers, the police officer that visits high schools, the police officer that visits university, newspapers, TV-talk shows, blogs on the internet - it's a neverending stream that you, as a male, probably are not aware of at all. It's extremely rare to see the opposite (though it does happens), authorities advising young men that taking advantage of drunk or passed out girls is an actual rape.Weaver 说:What messages are you talking about?
Advice parents give to their adolescent kids? Well, I've got plenty of those too in my time, I can relate.
I'll probably pass those advice on to my children as well, unless there'll be some drastic changes in the society that will make those dangers no longer relevant.
I've agreed with you for the most part of this discussion. I was just saying that I understand how some people think it's basic responsibility to take precautions against bad things.Weaver 说:Yeah. That's pretty dumb.Untitled. 说:The difference is that leaving your bag unattended is considered stupid, while drinking until you pass out is a part of culture. That's presumably why Jhess keeps telling us girls have a right to pass out without the fear of being robbed/raped/whatever.
Everyone has a right to not be robbed/raped/etc. That's why rape is a crime and rapists go to jail.
Rights that you have don't stop bad people from committing crimes though. Time to pull your heads out of your asses and recognize that crime is integral to our society. Didn't you know that?
It's not about what rights you've got, it's about how to stay safe. People just can't seem to face the facts.
I think that's an interesting phenomenon.Jhessail 说:Yeah yeah. It's not only that. This is something that is told girls, growing up, so many times.

I've seen feminists say stuff like, "Instead of teaching my daughter how to avoid rape, why don't you teach your sons not to do it!" but that seems rather childish to me. To draw a parallel...which is more effective; telling your kids to avoid bad neighborhoods after dark, or lecturing criminals in those neighborhoods about the evils of mugging, rape, murder, and assault?Jhessail 说:Yeah yeah.

...What?Federico 说:I agree with this.
People use rights to equalize the "wild side" that lies in us, it's all a matter of balance..aaaaand if you **** your balance (with drugs for example) don't complain about being raped, beated etc etc

When some worthless scumbags record themselves gang raping a girl who's passed out, is it only because they were never told that rape is wrong? Would those rapists have experienced a eureka-moment had they received a, "sex with passed out girls is a morally wrong + criminal act" email from mom before going to the party? An overall better parenting job when kids are young would probably prevent a lot of them from becoming criminals (including but not limited to rapists), but the overwhelming majority of rapists do in fact know that what they're doing is wrong at the time that they're doing it. Telling them that fact once they're teenagers or adults isn't likely to do anything, while telling your daughters to not get drunk at a party (and not to leave their drink unattended, no matter what it is) may very well be sound advice, even if it makes some people get indignant. And once again, it's not placing blame on those daughters should they ignore the advice; a criminal act is the fault of the person(s) who commits it, not their victim(s).
Bannedwait, I'm not saying that!Seff 说:...What?Federico 说:I agree with this.

A girl who takes drugs isn't okay to rape just because she's on drugs. Much like how it isn't okay to run over a drunk man who's staggering around on the street, just because he's drunk.
Au contraire. Just because you're not sober doesn't mean any of the blame for an eventual rape befalls you. The person raping you is responsible, 100%.Federico 说:wait, I'm not saying that!
I try to explain, but it's not easy because English is not my language, sorry.
I mean, if you take drugs don't complain about what happens to you.
Unless you wear a sign around you neck that says "If I pass out you can **** me" and sign it, it's NOT your choice.Federico 说:You can smoke a joint on your bed, while listening some music with your girl, no one will hurts you, unless you are not with your girl
or you can go drunk at a party, with every **** in the room aim at you, and then wake up after a gang bang
it's your choice![]()
Nobody's shocked that it happens or that most people are horny and try their luck when they're drunk, advisable or not. But much like drunk driving, being drunk doesn't mean you're not responsible for the actions you take. The actions OTHERS take AGAINST you are still very much THEIR responsibility, not yours - even if you're ****-faced drunk. Otherwise we get this nasty loophole where it's okay to have sex with overly drunk girls because they're "asking for it", which is just dumb.Federico 说:wake up, we're on planet Earth, we're some kind of shouting apes who want to **** everything (both male and female) so don't be shocked if someone try to **** you
Exactly. Obviously telling your 17-year old son five minutes before he's going to a party, that ****ing a passed out girl is rape, is not very effective. But if you talk with your kids, honestly and thoroughly, about such facts of life, from an early point, it's a message that stays with them. Better parenting always helps. When I've been in the USA, it's always mindboggling how many young Americans (that I've come across) are clueless about sex and how older people, parents, that I've lunched with or have had dinner with and the occasion to talk about such things comes up, get really uneasy and quickly change the topic. Case in point: explaining the sauna culture of Finland always earns me both amused and shocked stares. Amused because they think I'm pulling their leg, shocked that people of both sexes are naked together!Anthropoid 说:Wheem 说:I've seen feminists say stuff like, "Instead of teaching my daughter how to avoid rape, why don't you teach your sons not to do it!" but that seems rather childish to me.

The 'teaching' of little boys not to grow up and rape vulnerable females (or males) doesn't have to be moralizing. It could instead recognize that, there is perhaps some androgenic-mediated vulnerability to misbehave in such ways, while simultaneously expressing both an intolerance and alienation for such behavior.
Most parents probably don't even bother to teach their pre-teen children about sex and sexuality in any edifying, consistent, truthful way, much less to teach their sons that "Look pal, you get yourself in trouble for raping a drunk female, and you are no longer my son, okay? I hope they lock you up and throw away the key."
Well, you could've fooled me. Which you actually did. Or I tragically misunderstood you at some point.Weaver 说:Mind you, I'm not talking about "responsibility" here. Because it can and will be distorted and I'll be presented as someone who puts the blame on the victim, which was never my intention, of course.
What the **** are you on about, crazy person?Federico 说:or you can go drunk at a party, with every **** in the room aim at you, and then wake up after a gang bang
it's your choice
wake up, we're on planet Earth, we're some kind of shouting apes who want to **** everything (both male and female) so don't be shocked if someone try to **** you
that doesn't means I usually rape drunk girls, or that I see it as a good thing, but I feel much more sad for victims of normal rape, they use to remember all facts
And until "should" becomes "will," there must be due warning given out. It doesn't shift blame to the victim if you're trying to prevent a victimization in the first place. You need to keep your wits about you in public, especially at seedy places. For example, I have a cousin who had to go to the ER and nearly died because he drank too much of something that was most likely spiked with stuff other than alcohol. Likewise, a family fried needed wires in his jaw after being punched by a drunken lout in a public bar for saying a passing word to someone. There are messed up people out there, and keeping your head about you is the best thing you can do to prevent victimization. No one is telling you not to drink (not even the mother in that article)--people are saying to not get utterly ****faced--because this isn't a perfect world.Jhessail 说:That's how it ALWAYS should be.
No, telling boys it's wrong to rape WILL stop a lot of rapes. Drunken hormonal teenagers aren't known for their empathy and awareness. There are just as many it won't stop, but there are many it would.Wheem 说:I've seen feminists say stuff like, "Instead of teaching my daughter how to avoid rape, why don't you teach your sons not to do it!" but that seems rather childish to me.

Well, it's an advice. The best thing about an advice is that you can take it or leave it.Jhessail 说:No, the mother in that article is saying college girls shouldn't drink. That's what got me riled up in the first place.
