They are all choices we make based on society and how it will treat us in all probability.

Based on the fact there are an average of 30,000 rape based pregnancies in THIS country EVERY YEAR, what decision do you make? Pretend that men should be able to exercise self control and possibly get raped, or realize that they quite frequently DON'T have self control, and take steps to counteract what you know to be true??

1) Depending on the circumstances, what clothing you wear and "some self-defense training" will have little to no impact on whether you become the victim of rape or not. Rapes aren't generally "stranger danger" type attacks where some helplessly aroused male lurks in the bushes because a woman wore a short skirt.

2) Trying to draw that comparison is a pretty uncomfortable stretch. You compare impeded job andvancement with a physical assault.

3) You keep creating this false dichotomy. It's NOT "make safe choices OR presume men to have self-control". It's about both. Whether or not a woman engages in risky behavior doesn't affect how wrong the crime against her is. That is the point. People have the right not to be raped. How risky their behavior is, is ultimately irrelevant to whether or not I am allowed to be angry if a person is sexually assaulted.

What you are trying to do by shifting all the responsibility on women is to silence women who complain, silence conversation about this crime. You pretend you're not victim blaming, but you are doing exactly that.

"Men can't help it. If you get yourself raped by being stupid, don't you dare complain about it, because you won't be worth listening to."

Your attitude makes women no less unsafe than any careless behavior could.

It's really quite sickening.

Since we're on the subject of rape here, and having to endure more of Wish's ill formed views on responsibility, here's a thought for today -

rape is not about physical lust and being unable to control it, it's about asserting power and control over another person's body. That's what the rapist gets off on.

So whether it's your date "you don't get to say 'no' to me" or a stranger "I can do what I like to whoever I like" that's the mentality involved.

It's not about what you wear or what you look like, because its not about uncontrolled physical attraction. That's why rape victims can be babies through to elderly people.

None of which bears any relationship to passing judgement on people who have tatts.

Wow, four people who don't get what an analogy is...at ALL.

Tattoos have nothing to do with rape, it was all about how society SEES YOU.

And of course, I was not referring to people who cannot defend themselves....That is quite possibly the dumbest comment EVER.

And yeah, it does have to do with what you wear and how you present yourself and how YOU decide to handle the world around YOU. I wouldn't ever blame anyone for being raped, I am saying there are things you can do to lessen the chances of being in that situation.

Used to work down the hall from the county ER where the rape victims were taken. I got the rape kits for safe keeping under secured storage and under chain-of-custody. The victims were very old to very young, in all kinds of clothes, including those oh so sexy down jackets, jeans, and boots in winter.

I was mistaken for a prostitute once in a dumpy old ski coat, ugly pine tree sweater, mom jeans, and Napoleon Dynamite boots. This with no cosmetics, because makeup is stupid and causes cancer, and my generally hairy mannish face. Was it the acne, flat-chest, thunder thighs, patchy chin whiskers, unibrow, and thin pedo-stache you think?

Apparently truckers are really hard up.

I was wearing a similar outfit one night in the winter when a drunk guy accosted me after asking directions and I just wanted to go home. Appearance has nothing to do with anything, and no one but narcissist douchebags in love with their own reflection and perhaps crazed by their own middling position of insignificant power give any kind of shit what anyone wears or does to themselves.

So, evidence continues to accumulate for my "Wish is doing this for attention theory." Otherwise she wouldn't feel the need to start another rape thread when Jack already made a perfectly good one (also solely for attention and maybe a cry for help) that's a hundred posts long without even a topic change. Lawls, this is pretty funny.

Ahaha, excellent, let's wreck shit. This board got too nice and get-along gang in Miker's wake. I love burning bridges, they smell so woodsy. Except those modern ones, they smell like asphalt and tar and yelling.

In fairness, most tattoos are just bad. It's actually pretty hard to find a decent artist who comprehends basic perspective and anatomy, let alone that they can do good shading work. God forbid anyone can actually SPELL if there's any text involved, considering these tattoos are supposed to be a permanent and meaningful marking for who the hell ever.

And that's before the skin under the tattoo gets old and wrinkled and the tattoo fades and looks even more terrible. Most people do eventually regret those tattoos.

But at this point, who even notices or reacts to tattoos anymore? They're not an edgy statement of rebellion, and arguably I have my doubts they ever were. They're common as hell. At this point I see it all as just skin. Oily repulsive human skin constantly shedding dead cells and rife with feeding bacteria, fungus, and mites. The addition of ink doesn't really change the innate quality of what it is.

And if you think of it that way, whatever stupid ass clothing they use to cover that nauseating body is pretty irrelevant because they're the same awful toxic fleshbag underneath it all anyway, whether it's revealing or not.

You're quoting from Ultron's speech in Joss's Avengers: Age of Ultron, maybe? Making a very inside joke? Ultron is known for being disgusted & appalled by the organic. Only metallic lifeforms are good enough.

I'm speaking the truth. Organics actually are pretty disgusting if you know enough about the details.

For example: even the hottest woman you can think of has bowel movements. And the turds smell like rotten cabbage.

The cutest kitten is covered in dander and you can often see it in their fur, which they leave everywhere. Their litter box is a horror show, and that's if they don't have worms at the time. And so on.

Life is a terrible terrible thing and a cruel hardship and joke upon us all.

Frankly, automata probably wouldn't even want to TOUCH any of us, we'd gum up their works. And thinking about why any organic would even want a relationship like that boggles my mind - what would even be the point of that?

Joss will have Ultron wear latex gloves to keep off the contamination from all those bags of meat Ultron will be squashing in the movie. The villain in a movie always needs a motivation. Sometimes humanity is a meal. Sometimes mankind is sitting on valuable real estate that the villain grabs. But sometimes there are more visceral motives to wipe out mankind -- I hate your literal guts motives.

Actually that potentially raises another possibility about Wish's motives here, maybe she's trying to discredit you guys who just don't care too much if a guy grabs a girl's backside flab cheeks.

You know, make you all look bad by posting some stuff to get you all to agree with her, then she posts some extreme comments and watches the mess when you all go "whoa wait a minute" and put on the breaks.

Well, like I said to Jack, just imagine that you're at a baseball game and it feels like the standard congratulatory ass slap at first, but then the fingers close, lovingly, lingering. A little squeeze, a tug. The fingers shift, and squeeze again.

You turn, and you receive a slow smile from Marcus, his gold tooth shining from underneath that thick bushy moustache. He winks.

And you know the night has just begun.

Anyway, caring doesn't count for much if you're not willing to stand up and stop it right then and there.

BTW, picked out a swimsuit for my kid the other day, went to three stores to find bottoms that had a skirt, because SHE feels it is inappropriate for people to have their ass in thongs running around a beach and yeah, it's mainly for attention...

Lol yeah. 'Cause it is. Every person out there is a ravening fuckwad about to happen, and there are a million horrible experiences and ways to die out there just waiting for you. Nothing you or I could do can stop whatever's in store for us. So why worry about it?

I have friends who are feminists, who are guys, who try to convince me that all guys are just so evil and repressive towards women, and I just have to laugh. That's what ya'll are concerned about? Really? What about women? The most dangerous and crazy person I know is a woman. Why should I be afraid of ANY man when I know I'm so much worse?

Also swimsuits are bullshit. I swim in my clothes because screw that commercialized hyper-sexualized noise. If you want to have a conversation about who can out-prude the other here, I'm gonna win hands down.

See this is the distinct divergence in thought patterns here between a woman getting groped and the way some guys feel about getting groped. If it was a hot girl you didn't know groping you, you'd kinda like it, maybe even feel flattered a little. If it was an ugly girl or a man, you'd want it to stop.

A woman getting groped by a stranger won't ever feel flattered. They'd feel ashamed and violated, hence the sexual assault part. She'll feel disturbed, probably a little frightened and sick, and angry enough to strike out at the offender. Just like if it was someone you didn't want touching you in an unwanted way.

Which is okay. If you guys ever feel like punching someone for touching you inappropriately, that's fine by most sane people's definition. It's defending yourself. And it'd be sexual assault for them to do that to you.

Because I think a person CAN. One of the things I'm really good at is assessing danger. (I'd be an actuary if it didn't require 8 years of school)

I can't tell you how many times I've warned people of very specific things, and they said "Naw, won't happen" and it did. Can't watch yer kids ALL the time, can ya??? Well, if their life depends on it, yes, yes you can...

Yanno, hubby has actually done that three times. One I actually agreed with. I wished someone would get hurt once and it actually DID happen. In retrospect most of these people were pretty stupid and what happened was bound to happen whether or not we wished anything...

No tattoos, but I know bosses will frown upon them if they are visible and you deal with customers, or represent the company to investors, or are going to be seen in anyway shape or form. Not saying if it is right or wrong only that it is. To them it is the same thing as not speaking properly or having your pants hanging down around your ass. I'm not talking about McDonalds here.

You are so right bytemite and here is a post to make your point.

BEDFORD, N.Y. -- A Fox Lane High School English teacher who allegedly wrote in online conversations with a "medium" that the government was behind the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting and that he wanted to "kill people" is suing the district for firing him.

Would you want to be forever explaining to the company's private eye and other strangers your tattoo? Over and over again you will be coldly and cynically asked, "What's it mean?" "Because I love Wash" is not enough explanation since you'll then be asked, "Who is Wash?" followed by "What was Firefly?" Short questions that need long answers.

Unless there is a new dawning for an old TV show and Firefly gets a much higher profile then everybody will know "I am a leaf on the wind." Probably can't happen, so wordless & symbol-less tattoos are better than tattoos that need explanations.

Me either. I view the human body itself a work of art, and to put ink to it, imo, would be like taking a Sharpie™ pen to Venus De Milo or Michelangelo's David.

Not that there's anything wrong w/ a fine lookin' tatt...

( hat / tatt.... it still works )

ETA - As for swim suits, I'd just say be honest w/ yourself, and go with what feels comfortable. If you're not Jessica Alba or a SI model, don't think you can put on a suit they wear and get the same effect at the beach, pool, what ever. Same goes for dudes. Unless you're Michael Phelps, there's no need to wear anything less than trunks.

Bah, ink doesn't bother me - and doesn't bother all employers either, there's one corporate drone I know who's actually fairly respected in his office despite being somewhat junior to the dinosaurs he works with, and while he does make the concession of taking his nose stud out and wearing long sleeves, nobody really seems to care overmuch, not even the clients.

Of course, in MY line of work, a little bit of ink actually IMPROVES ones work-cred, but then security is like that - I never got any tats cause I was always concerned the damage I tend to soak up would ruin them and make em look stupid, that and the whole concept repels me personally, as does the notion of punching ornaments through my flesh.

Oh, and bathing suits... one of Counts female friends (he does retro-silent movie stuff and thus has lots of vintage stuff to wear) actually does the whole old-school swimming suit, and don't ya know, I find it quite attractive in a demure sorta way.

I think showing too much skin ruins the mystery that makes eroticism work.

You and hubbs really do think more alike than I think any other person on this planet would

We were at a theme park last year and there was ONE girl wearing a long sleeved swim top and a cute skirt, and he pointed out how guys seemed to look at her and relax, vs the girls that were hanging out. I think maybe a lot of guys think that too, but think they aren't supposed to admit it...

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Not a fan of tats. They're essentially autobody paint, heavy metals and synthetic pigments and all, that you are supposed to poison yourself with by injecting it under your skin, where it stays. Why would anybody do that?

SAGAN: We are releasing vast quantities of carbon dioxide, increasing the greenhouse effect. It may not take much to destabilize the Earth's climate, to convert this heaven, our only home in the cosmos, into a kind of hell.

If you are going to dress like an attention whore at
least OWN it, don't pretend you don't KNOW what's going
to happen.

So if they said "I did it for the attention, but the creepy attention is really uncalled for" you would be okay with it? Or would you still think they have it coming and should shut up about it?
