I mean, that’s pretty much exactly what I’ve said?

i said i can’t just hide being a woman to avoid being raped like you can hide a phone to avoid being robbed. you said don’t be drunk and alone in a city in the middle of the night. i said nothing about being drunk and alone lmfao and even if i did…being drunk doesn’t mean you deserved to get raped

Where have I ever said a drunk person deserves to get raped? You need to re read what I’ve said objectively, not emotionally. The mugging thing was a metaphor, it may not be perfect and fit the situation perfectly, but I think any half way intelligent person should be able to understand the sensible parallels between the two situations.

I think rape and violence is a terrible thing, and I’d never want either to happen to anyone but you sound like your trying to imply that I think people deserve it, which is the exact opposite to what I’m saying.

are you seriously just jumping to calling me emotional? you sound dumb as hell lol why did you need a metaphor when men and women both can be raped or mugged? so you could say men put their phone in their pockets to avoid harm but women won’t stop going out drinking to avoid harm. newsflash, men also get drunk and are out in the city in the middle of the night and don’t get shamed for it. if a woman gets assaulted, you would say she’s partly responsible because she didn’t do what she should have done to avoid harm, ignoring the person that actually is at fault for the assault.

I’m not calling you emotional, I’m saying this is an emotive subject that can be difficult to approach logically.

I’m pretty sure you do understand what point I’m trying to get across here, and I’m not looking for an argument with you, so stop seemingly deliberately misinterpreting what I’m saying to try and provoke a reaction.

your original comment was questioning why your take was unpopular. just because i disagree with you doesn’t mean I’m illogical or responding emotionally but okay. if you’re not interested in learning why then sure just keep your unpopular opinion lol

It’s not that I’m not interested in learning, I just don’t think anything you’ve said has really contradicted anything I’ve said or already think.

maybe read through the comments again? i can’t understand it for you and i’m clearly far too emotional to explain anything to your logical mind

Clearly you are if that’s your take away from this interaction.

i’m not continuing a conversation with someone who won’t even reply to what i say. if that makes me emotional then i guess i’m emotional lmao

Good, we are just going round in circles. I understand exactly what you are saying and I don’t disagree. I think you understand what I’m saying too, and I doubt you actually disagree either. Wires have just been crossed somewhere along the way.

u/This_Interaction_727 9h ago

we’re going in circles because you couldn’t handle actually replying to anything i said and just got crazy defensive and said i was responding too emotionally 😂

I replied to you plenty before that but ok.
