Some environments are more dangerous for certain kinds of people than others, and so require a greater degree of caution from them. Whether anyone happens to like it or not, this is the case for women at bars, clubs, and parties (just as it would be the case for me in a gay club, or in a lower income neighborhood).

However, apart from that minor clarification, yes. Your statement is satisfactory.

It is a fact that women are in more danger of being raped and assaulted than men, especially so in environments with alcohol and large concentrations of young men.

yes stats support that women are more likely to be "raped" then men :shrug:
good thin nobody said otherwise huh lol

Which is why it is generally a good idea for them to be more careful than a man might have to be in the kinds of environments where rape is common.

well since rape isnt the only concern when people are abusing alcohol no, everybody should be careful
 
With regards to flirtation and sexual advances?

weird i dont remember talking about either of those, guess you are just going to keep making stuff up lol

you agreed with MY statement, ill refresh your memory

""everybody should be aware of thier environment and not drink so much that it prevents them from doing so"

you might have some type of ADD or something and NO thats not an insult, its an honest suggestion, i volunteer with kids that have that and similar conditions and it seems to fit the illogical way you insert things into a discussion that arent there

theres no concession lol
you just got caught making up mentally inane BS again

if you disagree simply point where i mentioned flirtation and sexual advances?

you cant because you made it up lol my statement and our our discussion was about abusing alcohol

your post is factual proven wrong again and facts win again lol
 
It doesn't matter what happens where. The simple fact of the matter is that you have provided absolutely no hard evidence to back your claims.

You're basically making an appeal to ignorance.

i.e.

"We can't know for sure, so it must be higher!"

I'm sorry, but that's not the way these kinds of claims work.

How foolish. YOU have provided no evidence whatsoever, yet it doesn't stop you from making the same old claims ad nauseum even when it's been pointed out to you with links from reputable sources, personal experiences, etc., that you are wrong. I should call you ostrich.
 
Which is very terrible, but without some hard data comparing actual rates here, we can't really make a judgment.

Again, according to some sources, as many as 25% of women in the United States are raped before they graduate college. I'm not sure if I believe that figure, but if true, it would be a pretty massive chunk of the overall female population.

I have a pretty hard time believing that a society which tends to keep its women out of public could have a rate anywhere near that high.

And there are plenty of other countries that have higher rape rates per capita, including some 1st world countries.

Top 5 Countries with the Highest Rates of Rape

It has nothing to do with how women dress, whether they are out on the town clubbing, going on a date, or just walking around. Their attire is not what gets them targeted by rapists in general. Some specific rapists may target some women in specific clothing, but even then it could be absolutely any type of clothing including fully clothed or dressed extremely conservatively. But date rapists would be more likely to target personalities or simply target women who go on dates with them, with no care for whether their clothing says "I'm easy" to them. Because the date rapist isn't likely to have to worry about that, after all they are already on a date with the person. As for the pickup type rapist (pickup a woman from the bar who simply agrees to go someone "more private" with them), well even then you wouldn't know what exactly attracted the man to the woman. It is almost definitely not going to be what they wear, specifically not the "skimpy" or "more revealing" clothing because that mainly attracts rapists. Any type of clothing could still attract this pickup type rapist, because they are more likely to use location/intoxication into account more than clothing. Any woman who they meet in clubs could say "yes" to going home with them but still turn them down for sex. And most men know this.

Yes, and I have to wonder - does this really need to go on for another 84 pages? You got some nitwit who keeps trying to concoct ways to blame women for their own sexual assaults, and can't even keep his own arguments consistent apparently. It's a simple fact that's been demonstrated over and over again in the profiles of rapists and serial killers, that they pick their targets for matching a profile that catches their interest....not by how much or how little clothing they were wearing at the time of abduction!
