It causes us stress to think that rape can happen to women who DON'T ask for it, and we start thinking of our sisters and daughters etc. getting raped without being at fault. That's stressful, so let's just delude ourselves into thinking that stuff like that only happens to those who are asking for it, or are inattentive, or otherwise at fault.
We like to find ways to blame victims in many cases because admitting that blameless people, or we ourselves, could be the victim of misfortune or wrongdoing is upsetting. We'd rather be delusional than upset. So it goes.
Rape should NEVER happen.... period.
There is NO excusing it.
That being said, I understand what Beaker explained well and was attacked for.
Look at your post, women....women...women......
Look at the bathroom posts.....women.....women....women.
Drunk men can be raped by other men.
It's not as prominent, but happens.
People claim to be progressive or whatever, but still have the chivalrous white knight that saves the maiden programmed into their psyche.
It's ok...... it takes time to evolve and look past the sex of a person.
