If you were walking in a bikini in the street, there is a high chance of getting your ass tapped and eventually getting raped. The USA is no for rape because of lack of dress code.

So you are suggesting that one's behaviour should be dictated by what some bad people MIGHT do, and if they do it, you will defend them?
(figured you were EST too when you were talking about coming home from work in the seven shades of stupid thread) Didn't say anything in case you worked nightshift on the other side of the world.
I think if you're walking in a bikini in the street, there's a much higher chance of causing a traffic accident than of getting raped.
"If you were walking in a bikini in the street, there is a high chance of getting your ass tapped and eventually getting raped."As I am a 6'4" tall, 330 lbs man, if I were walking around in a bikini I might get arrested for disturbing the peace, but I would NOT be raped.
"The USA is no for rape because of lack of dress code."
What? No much write good, dude.
Are you asserting that the reason there is rape in the U.S. is because we have no dress code? Almost every community has laws concerning modesty of dress, and even if they didn't, style of dress in no excuse for rape.
The US is known for rape?is known for a high murder rate, but I don't think I've heard it suggested before that its incidence of rape is particularly high or well-publicized.
The last sentence makes no sense. Anyway, I wear bikini, my friends wear bikini, and happy we are. What´s the point?

<< Most rapists don't stand around waiting for scantily-clad women to grab in dark alleys. The majority of rapes (one study says 60% to 70%) are planned in advance. In the majority of cases, the victim knew the rapist at least casually. The majority of rapes occur in the victim's or rapist's home. It seems unlikely that clothing had anything to do with it. >>John: Exactly. What are they going to claim now -- that the building in which the woman lives is sexually provocative? I don't think that's the usual meaning for the slang term "brick house"!

Just because you can't see a scantily clad woman without having the desire to ravish her with or without her consent doesn't mean everyone does.
They like to make stranger rape seem like the norm (though, as you say, it's not even close) because then they don't have to admit that the Boy Next Door could be a rapist. Make it the dark stranger from out of town and then it's not the community's problem.
Australia, Canada and the US don't come out too well on this (#3, #5 and #9, respectively, out of the top 60). Better countries are Greece, India, Japan and a number of the former Soviet countries.
Yes, because rape hardly ever happens to women who aren't wearing bikinis. Women don't get raped in winter, when everyone is bundled up in fluffy coats. And rape never happens in countries where there are strict standards of dress.
it really shits me when fundie (and even non-fundie) assholes try to blame the rape on provocative clothing. normal, red-blooded men would check her out or say obscene things, but whoever commits a rape has SERIOUS MENTAL ISSUES. Rape is not something that a "normal" person would do, period.
I wish more sexy men would walk around in speedos. Damn.
What if I had you walk down the street with "Shoot me" taped to the back of your head and then I planted sharpshooters in nearby buildings?
Besides, who gets raped walking down the street? It happens in bars and stuff.
I don't care if a woman walks down the street naked, tossing her heels into the air with every step. If a man cannot control himself enough to not rape her, the man has severe issues. Period. End of story. No more discussion.
So anytime a woman goes to a pool or beach, she should be able to get raped because she's wearing a swimsuit?
What the fuck is wrong with your ability to think rationally? Did you get dropped on your head as a baby?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
