It's not completely irrelevant at all, it's directly relevant to the points you were trying to make actually. You specifically said that the victim is at fault for their rape if they did x,y and z to put themselves in danger. Then you tried to call that personal accountability. That is not...

*sigh* I get the feeling you're not really taking in what people are telling you. Personal accountability =/= fault. It's nobodies fault they was raped, no matter where they were or what they were wearing, since to rape is an action made by the rapist. The victim is, however, accountable for...

Nobody 'makes themselves a victim' an attacker makes someone a victim. We're talking personal responsibility here. Yes, she's responsible for putting herself in danger, but her attacker is the one solely responsible for their actions, just as she is responsible for hers. That's what it comes...

Wow, I feel like an idiot now :unsure: sorry lol needless to say that joke went waaay over my head lol

@Ultimaja: I don't think you know what accountability means. What you are describing is not accountability or personal responsibility. It's blame. If a woman walks through a bad neighbourhood along and wearing very little then she is responsible for that, she is responsible for taking that risk...

Show me the lyrics in the song that are about getting the woman so intoxicated she can't make up her own mind. Anything about drugs is about him as much as her.

A double standard is: "when a rule or principle is unfairly applied in different ways to different people or groups." This fits. When a man grabs a woman and is all over her, it's rape. When a woman does it to a man he's called lucky. When a man tells a girl to come and get him because he can...

Again you're ignoring the fact that the entire song is telling her to come and get it from him. He's telling her all the wonderful kinky sex he'll give her if she takes him up on the offer. Considering she's the one grabbing him and all over him, it's pretty clear why he thinks she wants it...

There's a common mistranslation of the Blurred Lines lyrics which annoys me every time I see it. Nowhere in the song does he say "You know you want it" he says "I know you want it" and follows up by saying "go ahead get at me". The entire song is about a guy telling a girl that she doesn't have...

You do realise that the vast majority of rapes are not committed by a stranger but by someone the victim knows and trusts. Is it dangerous and irresponsible to go walking through a bad neighbourhood wearing next to nothing alone? Yes it is. Does that mean that is the reason the rape took place...

Really? So gay marriage isn't slowly being allowed in many different countries? So racially-base hate crime hasn't been steadily decreasing over the years? Egalitarianism has certainly not achieved all it can, not yet. If it was impossible we wouldn't be managing to make changes and give more...

That is simply untrue. There are many people who are not treated equally due to simply being who they are. Sexuality, gender, race, these things still matter at this time and they shouldn't. But as long as people are getting hurt for something they have no control over, as long as people don't...

The trouble with rape statistics is the amount of people who do not report it. Then there are the amount of people who make false claims. Then there are the sad reality of people who do not even get believed. We have no real way of knowing any of these statistics, so it's very hard to get any...
