Author Topic: How do you feel about this image  (Read 1385 times)

Unless it was physically impossible for the driver to spot you in time to slow down, it IS their fault. This is how it has always been and how it always should be.

what the forget are you smoking, seriously

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

go back to tumblr

you can't tell the driver to be more careful so the person crossing can be careless

Of course!
Why didn't I think of that?!
Just ask rapists nicely not to rape!

no. its stupid. [insert several stuffy brown townogies here that i was going to say but then thought that guns wouldn't be a good one and neither would black holes] this is so stupid, cars... it just isn't as efficient as looking both ways before you cross.

ok so to summarize
Look both ways before you crossdress
right?

all victims of any crime have a bit of blame in one way or another.
because all crime can be avoided. just because its not easy to do doesn't mean its OK to be carefree.

"I got struck by a car when crossing at busy intersection without looking. It was the drivers fault!"
well it is. the pedestrian could have prevented it but that doesn't mean the driver is blameless. if you can't prevent yourself from hitting a pedestrian while driving then you're doing something you shouldn't be, or you chose not to do something you should have

The reason you tell kids not to cross the road without looking both ways is because they are young and not intellectually developed enough to remember possible dangers. A good cross code that rhymes is enough to remind a small child to be careful.

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

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?
