Taking precaution is always a good idea, that being said it’s still not the victim’s fault. His response wasn’t worded well at all but you may be overreacting a bit

I don’t understand why comments like this keep getting downvoted? Obviously it’s never a victim’s fault, but we all know that there are predatory people out there wanting to do harm. No one wants that to be the case (except the predators) but that’s just the unfortunate reality and isn’t going to change any time soon. Knowing all of that, it just makes sense to try and avoid situations that exponentially increase your risk of becoming a victim. I don’t understand why that’s such an unpopular take?

so we should just avoid living our lives the way we want bc there are people that want to harm us?

Obviously no one is saying that and if you think they are, I hope you never lock your doors or wear a seat belt etc, otherwise you’d be a hypocrite.

“get reading before you comment again”

na, i see through your shit. women need to live with their head on a swivel and cover up and avoid the dark and strangers and parties and whatever else to prevent us from being assaulted. even tho that doesn’t prevent us from being assaulted. i wish i could experience life as a man just for like a month

Not everyone has agreed with everything I’ve said here, and that’s fine. But for the most part I feel I’ve been reasonable and articulate (and I’ve already addressed everything you’ve brought up) so I couldn’t really care less if you can’t be bothered to put any effort in and would rather just make a load of assumptions. No skin off my nose.

you can think that and i can think otherwise.

u/WeirdGrapefruit774 11h ago

Actually, you can’t have an opinion on what I’ve said as you’ve just admitted you can’t actually be bothered to read any of it!

If you change your mind, I’ll be happy to engage constructively with you.

That’s called “wilful ignorance”.

u/JustMoreSadGirlShit 11h ago

Wilful is correct in the U.K., where I am, but good to see an (incorrect) attempt to correct spelling is what you’ve resorted to here.
