Rape prevention

[Freelanderness]

Nothing.

Rape rates would go way down if everone kept their wits and carried a gun.

Unless the rapists carried guns too. And people aren't known for keeping their wits.

even if the rapists carried guns. Remember when one of them dies its murder not rape.

Because that's so much better.

But the women would have defended her families honour.

Honour is the most important part, of course.

If only women were always on guard with a loaded firearm at all times, in the presence of their parents, acquaintances, coworkers and SOs, not to mention being willing to shoot them, and then were able to claim legitimate defense.

How about not just women. Everone should carry a locked a locked and loaded weapon all the time.

What about children and criminals?

Hi, NSG.

A short while ago we had a rape thread, which was labelled as a "safe space". In that thread, I suggested that women (let's be realistic, it is almost always women who are victimized) should carry and learn how to use weapons in order to prevent rapes. I was very clear that I was not attempting to place the blame on victims, and was trying to be supportive. It was apparent that some people were still offended, however, and and some people even suggested that I was aiding rapists by promoting the carry of and training with weapons among women. I cannot with any intellectual honesty apologize for what I said, because I still sand by it. I want to emphasize that my heart goes out to the victims of abuse.

So, here is a different thread with a different purpose. I want to ask you, NSG: do you believe that rape is preventable? If so, what can women do to prevent rape? If not, why not?

Here is a video with some statistics which support the idea that women should carry and learn how to use weapons.

I really, really don't want this to turn into a flame war. Please keep it civil. I want this to be a good thread with some good, constructive discussion, and I don't want any victims who may be reading this to feel that it is in any way their fault.

"If it's a legitimate rape the female body has a way to shut that whole thing down!"

Not criminals and children starting at age nine.

It is important.

So 10 year olds should carry guns?

Lower caliber guns and yes.

It is important.

I didn't deny it.

your family and countries honour are more important than your life.

In your opinion, perhaps. But that's not really what the thread's about. If you want to get into a values debate, it'll go nowhere.

Its going somewhere? Alright but really Guns could help a lot

Maybe they would help make rape rates go down, but they could also make the assault and murder rates go up.

No because others could also shoot. Robber forgets the guy in the Bathroom. Blam a slug in the back. Back to rape now.

The purpose of debate is to go somewhere. Debating values hardly ever changes things though, because people are set in their values. Myself, I value peace and nonviolence, and you won't convince me otherwise. I doubt I can convince you otherwise either. Thus, it's pointless.

Yes, if others are shooting others are getting hurt.

why should we protect criminals?

[Rocopurr]

I never said we should. I just don't think everyone shooting each other is the answer.

But it is a answer that would work.

[Disserbia]

I carry a switch blade and pepper spray in my purse. Thankfully I've never had to use it. I think its preventable in certain cituations if there is more than one person though it might be harder.

Also people should carry Bowie knives in case the range becomes too close.
