this isn't a very good example for loveual assult cases though
both parties need to be careful; drivers should be careful when triving to avoid hitting people and people need to be careful to not get hit whether it's them walking across the street or if the driver isnt careful
hell, drivers can be victims in certain cases
someone being drunk and walking into the path of a speeding car isn't necessarily the driver's fault entirely
the driver being drunk and hitting someone isn't entirely the pedestrian's fault
with rape it's (coincidentally) a one-way street
telling women they need to protect themselves from male rapists is basically stating that there are loose, wild men that can't loving control themselves
what you do is get those men under control; if you tell women just to protect themselves then there's still a problem
whereas if you control rapists then the entire problem is gone
You present one of the many topics of I thought on for quite some time. People wish to live in an ideal world, where they can do what they wish, without feeling repurcussions. Remember the old "Tell me I was asking for it." incident? That's a common mind set. In reality we need to do both of those things. We tell women to protect them selves
until the problem is under control. I mean, if you live in an area where rape is common, you wouldn't go out wearing a super short skirt at 3 am, would you?
