women blamed for being victims.

[billy]

I'll admit to being one of those people that look at alot of women and think...fuck me and they wonder why they get raped. I know it's not right but shit lets face facts alot of them wear little to cover anything and throw it around like it's there for the first one to take it. You add that into the booze & drug party mix and you've really got a recipe for a cock tease to get an unwanted session. The so called offender often not knowing the difference from the signals being broadcast by the so called victim. I really think that in this scenario there are at least 2 victims and the underling reason for the questionable ethics applied by investigators. I am not saying they are right in their actions but i can see where they are coming from.

The offender most certainly does know the difference whether any signals are given to him or not.
The perpetrator should not get any leeway because of some "mixed signals" which may be advice given to him by his attorney or what he thought he perceived.
The police should all be well informed and do the job in a way that's conducive to helping the victim and getting info from her to help catch the offender.
They should not ever be using their personal feelings and beliefs into this equation no matter what and I also understand that not doing so is asking quite a lot of any person whether they are in law enforcement or not.
The only victim is the person being raped.
Rape is not a crime committed because the perpetrator can't get laid
let's get that straight, right off the bat okay?

Here are some facts about rape courtesy of www.hopeforhealing.or
A rape happens in the US every six minutes.
4 out of 5 rapes are committed by a person the victim knows.
Only 16% of rapes are ever reported regardless of how or where it took place.
Less than 1% of men ever report their rape.

Men Who Rape: The Psychology of The Offender by Nicholas Groth,H. Jean Birnbaum
*Careful study of offenders in these cases will usually reveal evidence of his pathology and his responsibility for the offense:
flaws in regards to impulse/self control,respect for others,perceptual interpretation,social skills,frustration tolerance and the like
which, in fact, activate the assault.
Yet the old ideas die slowly,especially the notion of sexual provocation
and false accusation,and in the prosecution of a rape case the defense attorney
typically tries to impeach the victims credibility by addressing rape as a
crime of passion,implying the victim has aroused such desire.
Issues of provocation are really ridiculous when you consider that the
victims of rapists include males as well as females and include all age categories
from infancy to old age.
There is no place, season, nor time of day in which a rape has not occurred, nor is there any specific type of person to whom
it has never happened.

*I have taken a few paragraphs from this book to show my opinion of why
some rapes happen and also to show why people hold on to their outmoded ideas.

i think benny may be on about when things go to the stage of they guy getting his dick out and the girl saying yes and then at the point of entry saying no.

the booze and often drugs i think play a part. that said the guy is still guilty of rape and the woman is only guilty of stupidity.

again we have other times of the cry of rape when there was none but i agree we're not taling about false claims or any other kind of claims. just whether or not the woman is to blame for dressing in a sexy manner.

i don't think she is.

as stated above most times rape has nothing to do with drug or booze. it's done by a family member in the home.
