All Women Should Read This

raven, you're an ass.

Cat, you do whatever you need to to be comfortable. It's NEVER the girls fault. I have taught this to my offspring and I learned it myself back in the long ago.

There is no formula for a rapist, but it's good to know some things to look out for.

I warn my female offspring fairly often to be careful and watch everyone and to listen to that little voice.

I'm a big somewhat scary man and I've seen the look of fear in a woman's eye when I'm in a parking lot or happen to be going the same way on the path at the beach, even at the gym. I don't ever say anything, but I'm glad it's there because they're WATCHING. I'm never insulted because there are some real asswipes out there that get off on hurting girls. It makes all of us guys look bad, but it is FAR better to be safe than sorry.

raven, if it were in my power I'd boot your sorry ass out of here, but alas, it is not. However, I do despise you and your position whole heartedly. Until you've been through it, you're talking out your ass, you're just plain ignorant of the facts because you don't like them.

If you left raven, not a tear would be shed. Ever. Please go away and don't come back.

What 10 year old is emotionally equipped to handle that?

What happens later when the 10 year old is grown up and the rest of the extended family is consolidated in 'protecting' the pedo to make sure the pedo's wife is not "hurt"?

Do you have any idea what living with that kind of conspiracy to reward guilt and punish innocence does to a person?

Yes. And no one should have to go through that. I'm sorry that one of my counterparts did that and I truly hope that a horrific life is his.

You have no fault, no child, no woman does. Some of us believe this truly and pass it on to our offspring and those who would listen. There are good men out there, it's just terrible that so many can't trust enough to see them.

Great for her. This doesn't mean that everyone has the same capabilities of dealing with stress, guilt, anger, shame and anything else that comes with a sexual assault.

Where do you get this crap? Do you have ANY idea what goes on in the mind of someone who's been attacked? How can you be so narrow minded? It has to be willful. You must simply be looking for an argument. Perhaps you have a psych class you need to write a paper for because you stance is so bloody stupid that I have a hard time believing you can dress yourself if this is truly what you think.

This is a STELLAR article that I saw circulating Facebook called "A Letter to the Guy Who Harassed Me Outside the Bar".

"So what? You say. So you get a lot of attention, why is that such a bad thing? Annoying, maybe, but no harm, no foul! You know you mean no harm, but how do I know that? When women get harassed on the street, or at a bar, or on their walk home from work, do you know what we think? We wonder, am I going to get out of this safely? Am I going to walk away from this? Where are my keys if I need to stab someone in the eye? Are there people on the street? Will they hear me? Which way will I run? Solar Plexus, Instep, Nose, Groin. I’m exaggerating, but only so slightly. Does it disturb you that we think like this? That we have to think like this?"

Eh, I barely know what goes on in my own mind half the time. Also, I'm a science major, actually. Psych was taken way back a few years ago.

I think it sucks. I think it's a reality and I really resent that any woman, or man for that matter, has to feel weaker or like a potential victim, that anyone has to watch out for the bad guy just because you're a girl or small or whatever makes you feel like harm could come your way from anyone.

Ladies, ignore the idiots and take care of yourselves. White Knights are rare, but they are out there. Sadly, pissants are a dime a dozen and they're everywhere. Don't let anything here discourage you from being careful.

Then the adults in that situation are complicit.
Making them guilty as well as the actual offender.

Come on people, not enough ill informed foolish people have called me names yet today. I am sure someone can find something offensive in that.

Though I'm not female, I, and now I make my wife, carry the maximum legal length knife possible. We both carry 4" SOG Trident, I really wanted a Camillus Beast, but it's 4.1" and that's technically not legal. I had my great uncle teach me and then my wife how to knife fight too. So, I have a big knife and know how to use it.
