Go back and check Hardy's stats. Most women are raped by people they know... so there goes your "first impressions" theory. Besides which... rape isn't about sex, it's about power. Men don't rape the women they're attracted to.

I'm not forgetting at all. The point I am trying to make is the very same one you're getting at.

PEOPLE PREY UPON THOSE THEY PERCEIVE TO BE WEAK.

Who are these people? Well, the elderly are one, yes. But aging isn't a choice. Clothing on the other hand IS. Dressing like a skank comes across as having low self-esteem & little self-respect. Its easy enough to make a victim of someone who is already one by their own choice of lifestyle. A woman who is a whore & entertains many men nightly, is far less likely to be believed when she cries rape, than one who doesn't give herself out at every turn. Get it yet?

Just like you said, most women are raped by people they know. And many of these girls are either known to have low self-esteem, known to be defenseless, or known to be sluts. Get it yet?

WHY then, are these women who demand equality, at the same time crying helpless when something does happen to them? ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN LIFE.

I'm JUST trying to say that women who get treated in a manner according to their own actions and behavior, really need to realize that there ARE things that they can do as preventative measures. And yes, I do feel that if a woman walks unescorted to her car, in a dimly lit underground parking lot, and she's parked on the far side, that IF she DOES get attacked, then yes she is partially responsible. She did have options available to her, to prevent such a thing from occuring, the major one being requesting an escort. As I said previously, we do not live in an age of ignorance.
