More common sense but the argument she and others keep giving is that taking such measures would only prevent a very small percentage of sexual assaults. As though that matters.
Well, I can lock my car at all times and it could still be broken into, yet I still always lock my car.
Well, here is the deal. No one is saying to men that they should never have fresh air or sunlight.
Regarding open windows, there could also be a home robbery/murder made a bit easier by the open windows. But no one says a man should not have fresh air.
Regarding open CURTAINS, mentioning that is even crazier. It goes back to if a male can SEE us, he might be tempted to break in and rape us.
That IS putting the RESPONSIBILITY on us. We have to HIDE. Insane.
What if an attractive woman has open curtains and is in a state of undressed?
Until someone actually has raped someone, no one is putting the responsibility on anyone. I think some females or feminist want to be or at least be perceived as helpless victims of all males for ulterior motives.
It does matter because those are the only ones everyone seems to talk about when that is not the way we usually get sexually assaulted.
Bull. I've already posted the numbers on campus rapes but will repeat them for you:
Quote:
The National Resource Center on Domestic Violence’s project VAWnet shows that about 50% of sexual assailants admit to being under the influence of alcohol. Since drinking impairs sound judgment, it’s easy to identify alcohol as a contributing factor.
As it concerns the victim, the National Sexual Violence Resource Center reports that 72% of rapes occurred while victims were intoxicated. According to that same study, sorority members experienced a higher risk of sexual assaults than students living off-campus.
Alcohol dulls a sense of danger that would allow a person to recognize a situation’s increased threat potential. In the aftermath of an attack, the resulting trauma may contribute to further alcohol abuse, which heightens the risk of continued victimization.
It’s also worth noting that someone close to the victim perpetuated the assault in almost three-quarters of all cases.
3/4 of all cases involve someone close to the victim. 72% of rapes occurred while victims were intoxicated.

Exactly! I posted that earlier in the thread. I don't leave valuables in my car and I don't leave my wallet on my porch. As you state, it won't completely eliminate something bad from happening, but it will reduce the odds.

Lol, well, I haven't been keeping up with these threads, but that's pretty confining, yeah.

Yes, I'm no expert on the subject, but that's what I always hear. Trust me, I, most women I know, and probably most women in general, have tons of stories. Definitely not always a stranger.

Get it??
Interesting that you aren't saying for men to not be drinking after quoting that 50% of ASSAILANTS were drinking when they assaulted people.
She might be putting her self at risk or inviting a good time depending on who's watching.
See it wasn't just about getting sunlight but being risque and calculated risk.
