(4,035 posts)You mean, like playing across the road from your home as a 10 year-old? (Which is what happened when I was raped.) Or up the street to the library (which is where I encountered a flasher as a 13-year old?) Or going to school every day (which is where I was harassed by 2 boys in my 8-grade class that convinced themselves they "were in love with me" and the teachers thought it was cute?)
Most rapes are committed by someone the woman knows, and even trust. So to take what you're saying to its utmost conclusion, you're saying that all children should be taught to avoid being alone with adult men, regardless of family ties, that all women should refuse to marry or live with a man, women should not join the armed forces, should hold to a curfew of not being out after dark, and should generally never socialize in mixed company? After all, that is placing themselves "in risky situations."
