You are making men look bad by actually trying to argue this.
And wouldn't that be great? To live in a world where all of the signals we send are intercepted only by those we wish, who interpret them exactly as we intended? Surprise! The world doesn't work that way. You're making yourself look bad by failing to grasp this simple concept.

Rape can happen to anyone male or female but it is usually the attractive girl who gets invited to the party in the first place.
Taking alcohol away from the situation would greatly reduce the accounts of rape.
Precisely. As I already mentioned, there are different types of rapists with different MOs. How often do grossly obese co-eds get raped? Extremely rarely. Why? Because they are sexually unattractive.

It doesn't really matter what non-rapists think of the slutty clothing, it's what the rapists think.
That's a fair point. So put yourself in the mindset of a rapist for a moment. Who are you more likely to target? That is, who are you more likely to be able convince to come up to your dorm room? The girl in the turtleneck, or the one in the see-through bra?

Not at all what I said. You are getting desperate here and it is funny to watch you flail. The fact you cannot differentiate between a woman wanting sexual attention - like, picking up a guy in a bar and having consensual sex with him - versus wanting to be RAPED and literally INVITING IT is troubling. Then you pass it off on people not interpreting signals correctly? This implies you believe that people actually send out signals that they want to be raped, which makes absolutely no sense.

People who want consensual hookups are not also saying "hey, you can rape me as well because if I say no, it doesn't matter because I am dressed sexily." Whether or not the message gets across or not does not mean you are allowed to rape them. This is common sense yet you fail to see it. Now who's the one who can't grasp simple concepts?

Much of the rape that is reported could have been avoided just by using common sense precautions.

However, to the liberals, it is not "pc" to even mention ....."precautions "

Let's try again. You're still not comprehending what's being said here. No one has suggested the idea that women "want" to be raped or "literally" invite it, yet you keep presenting an argument against it. We're talking about whether some women invite rape (figuratively), based on their dress and behavior. To that end, women who act in such a way as to draw sexual attention to themselves are also sending signals, deliberately or not, to men who may wish to prey on them. Thus, they are increasing their odds of being a victim, i.e. inviting rape. Got it?

That's exactly right. According to feminist dogma, a woman has no responsibility at all. She can follow a man to his hotel room, have sex with him for whatever length of time she wants and still say "no". And if he continues, he's guilty of rape. Sorry, I don't buy that. If you're in bed naked with a guy, I call that consent.

My sister-in-law was raped by her boyfriend of several months after he decided that he really wanted to have anal sex despite her firm and repeated refusal of that act in the past. This was during sex. She struggled and he did it anyway.

Yes, that is rape.
