political-dissonance: This is liberal logic in general #NailedIt #Feminism But…we DO teach drivers not to hit people?





And if someone intentionally hits someone else with their car, we would never argue that the pedestrian should have been more careful. The only reason you might even consider blaming a pedestrian for getting hit is if they were hit ON ACCIDENT. And you can’t accidentally rape someone.

And we also teach boys not to rape. All the time. Growing up a boy it’s in everything. Every male villain rapes a woman to show how evil he is. PSAs telling us not to rape. PSAs telling us when women are drunk, or sleep, or didn’t give consent, it’s rape. PSAs telling us to stop a rape or the previous mentioned situations when they happen. It’s in our books, our shows, our movies. We are told by our parents not to rape. WE ARE RAISED BEING TOLD RAPE IS A BAD THING AND YOU SHOULDN’T DO IT!

@fandomsandfeminism: But men still rape, if you’re actually being told not to rape, why do men still rape?



Because rapist DON’T CARE! They DON’T CARE what they were taught. They DON’T CARE who they hurt. They want what they want and will take it. It’s not because someone told them it was or wasn’t ok, it’s because they DON’T and NEVER CARED! Go ahead, scream it at them. Tell them they shouldn’t rape. They’ll shrug their shoulders and do it anyway. This whole “teach men not to rape” thing is dumb as it’s usually aimed at men who do not, and never were going to rape because, as I said before, us men are already taught growing up that rape is bad. Those who DON’T CARE will still do it regardless.

It’s like telling a serial killer they shouldn’t kill. They aren’t accidentally killing someone, and they were told at every chance that killing is bad, but here they are, killing people. Same with thieves. They are told not to steal from people. Stealing is wrong, but oh boy, they are still doing it and not by accident. Why? Because they DON’T CARE!

It’s better to teach self defense, because no matter how much you yell teach men not to rape, a rapist will still rape because they don’t care what you say to them.
