Hey, Can A Woman "Ask To Get Raped"?

Somehow I think rape is a much bigger problem for women in Karachi than it is for men.

There are I am sure some decent feminist scholars around, but where the rubber meets the road this is the look of today's feminist movement. They are militant, and they have no regard for truth, which is why it gets to be very difficult to hold an intelligent discussion on rape.

Rape laws are written by male lawmakers, not by feminist advocacy groups. Most women and men support these laws. Rape is not a feminist issue, although it might be a concern of feminists. Rape is a concern for both men and women. It is a societal problem of sexual assault and violence. Men want their mothers, wives, daughters, sisters, and even grandmothers, protected from rapists.

You're just guessing. I'm not really interested in your hunches.

As a man I am not guessing at all that I would not report a woman raping me nor can I picture any of my fellow males friends doing so.

Male victims are particularly reluctant to report assaults by their intimate partners, while third parties are particular unlikely to report assaults by partners of either gender. Sexual assaults, particularly those that involve acquaintances, are less likely to be reported. These patterns have not changed since the 1960s...

Go talk to some young women if you want to be comforted, they will complain mostly about how the men are too timid.

The truth will set you free.

It wasn't a request for rape when you talked to the guy.

But what if I had gone for a walk around the block with him - or goodness gracious - walked into his house with him to see the photos of him surfing in Hawaii?
Would I have been 'asking' to be raped?
No - but if I don't take care and remember this lesson - I will have to take a little responsibility for my own risk-taking behavior.

Women don't report either.

Yes, some men are so timid, that when a female goes into a bar, they sit and wait in hopes that they can either get some easy action, or she becomes easy to overpower. If she's not drinking fast enough for them - they start buying her drinks. I never let a guy buy me a drink in a bar unless he is a well-known friend that I can trust. If ya can't talk to me when I am sober - don't talk to me when I'm drunk. Timid? Nah. Just a few scumbags floating around looking for what they think will be an easy conquest or possible rape.

Before I hit the reply button - there is a woman somewhere that is being raped. It is an extremely under-reported crime. I would expect that if a few more rapists ran into a woman wearing the anti-rape condom - rape would decrease dramatically. I don't suppose it would be much fun going to the emergency room to have it removed from your little dick, not to mention the pain.

I do however have a problem with how you would wish to define rape.

Rape 3rd & Sodomy 3rd. Penal Law 130.25 and 130.40 – Class E felonies.

1. Sexual intercourse,

2. without consent

3. where the lack of consent is not due to "incapacity to consent." That is, the victim actually expresses lack of consent by words and/or actions during the incident. Use of force is not required. No means no.

The new definition of lack of consent in Penal Law 130.05(2) adds "circumstances under which at the time of intercourse, the victim clearly expressed that he or she did not consent to engage in such act, and a reasonable person in the [defendant’s] situation would have understood such person’s words and acts as an expression of lack of consent to such act under all the circumstances."

Get that, it is sexual intercourse without consent. No force is required. No means no.

You confuse women's anger about the act of rape, and toward rapists, with a hatred or dislike of men. It simply means you fail to understand how women feel about this issue. Talk less and listen more and you might learn something.
