(16,404 posts)ever walked down the street just once afraid that some stranger will grab you, put a knife to your throat and stick his dick up your ass? How about in your home? Have you ever been almost asleep and not quite remember if you locked a door or window? Get out of bed to check not in fear of being robbed, but in fear of someone getting in and shoving his penis down your throat?
How about on a date or at a party. Have you ever had to carry your drink with you to the bathroom to keep an eye on it to make sure no one slipped something in it, in an effort to knock you out so you can't say no?
You know, because I would rather be robbed than raped. I would rather my car stolen and chopped up than me kidnapped and chopped up, I would rather be mugged than raped.
Then if you do follow how not to get raped advice, you still can be raped. Only still the victim's behavior is questioned...were you drinking, were your doors locked, why did you go out with him, what were you wearing, did you do or say anything that could have thought you wanted him, did you flirt with him. There are no visible bruises, are you sure it was rape.
Then after all of that, after all of that rape test kits sit in storerooms for decades, while the rapist rapes more women. The file gets put in a drawer and never investigated.
