As im in United States your right, its a bit different here. I think there is something to what someone wears that has an effect on how people engage them. Thats regardless of gender and financial status etc. And lets face it, wearing more provacitive clothing will always draw attention to an individual. But rape is never excusable.
But it's not like women are entirely innocent either. Ladies enticing men for there money and/or status is not unheard of. And unfortunately, ladies playing the rape card out of spite or as a power move is not entirely unheard of either.
Understand, im not against what you have to say in this post, but this problem isn't just with men. It's a societal problem. And from both genders, there are good and bad on this issue. Only the different genders approach it (the predators that is) from different angles.
Your right though, rape, molestation, and everything is a problem in the world.
Conversely, think about the young boys and young men that have been abused or exploited by women. Ironically, if one of them comes forward and speaks up they are labelled as a "sissy" or as being a woman hater. The world doesnt take the notion of sexual abuse on men via women seriously.
My only actual critism for your post is this...
Sparing two sentences at the end just to say that not all men are chauvinist rapists, and to not take this personally, is kind of inviting that kind of trouble. I understand what you mean, but when its said like that, it doesn't feel very sincere. Im not mad though.
Good post!
I can completely understand what ypu say but the bitter truth is that the women are the most impacted.
In the western countries it is very different or even in the far east this is not much of an issue but in the Middle east and countries like India this is one of the biggest problem for a woman.
Even myself I do not feel comfortable wearing even a knee length dress and stepping out in certain areas cause most of the men stare as if they have never seen a woman's legs.
that is a sad truth, and i sympathize for you all :-( i wont lie i havent really gotten to travel abroad so i wouldn't really know from your stance. there may not be much i can do directly about, but you ladies have my prayers
