Womans Brilliant Analogy Sums Up The Insidiousness Of Victim Blaming

13. Sorry but no

You want that and I want that for you but reality is stuck right in the middle of what you and I want.

That dog won't eat the steak. Try it with another dog and that steak is gone. That is reality.

I would love for you to have full equality but when it comes to rape it is about power and in the vast majority of cases when it comes to power the scales just are not equal. They just aren't.

There will never be equality between men and women when it comes to raw power.

Pretending otherwise is setting yourself up for failure. Much better to recognize there will never be that equality and act and prepare accordingly. Pretending that the most important aspect of rape the power is equal is dangerous in my mind.

As a species where are driven by sex on a fundamental level. Practically every thing we do is driven by it in one way or another.

I agree that it is important to educate as many people as possible so that our society is monolithic in it's condemnation of rape but I think pretending that if everyone just agreed rape was wrong it wouldn't happen is delusional.
