(29,257 posts)Are you saying -or do you actually believe- that I blame rape victims for what is done to them by rapists?
Or are you just flinging poo?
Because I think it should be clear that I do not think women ever invite rape through their actions, looks or anything.
My problem with that PARTICVULAR "PSA" was quite focused on the tone of it which I felt was not effective (as it seemed to be speaking to all men as if rape was something that lurked in the backs of every guy's mind and was basically decided on a whim: (i.e. "If you are walking down the street and see a woman, don't rape her."
That does not seem to be a real effective message as it would not alter the behavior of a rapist but DOES manage to misrepresent that nature of rape (as if it is a sort of accidental thing that just occurs to most men, like buying a bag of potato chips).
In the OP you refer to, I object to the tone of that PSA from a very limited POV and I do NOT object in general to rape PSAs and have, in fact, recommended other ones aimed at men.
So, yes, it IS disingenuous of you to point to that OP and pretend that means that I don't think rape is a problem or that I think men's "feelings" are MORE important or that I think that women are to blame.
It is the very definition of disingenuous. And yes, to try to make me look like I blame rape victims is entirely shameful.
