While I question the cop's choice of words and the avenue in which they were communicated, the statement isn't entirely without merit.

I really doubt seeing a woman in a sexy outfit is likely to transform the average dude into a rapist.

The argument as I see it less, "Dressing slutty turns guys into rapists like a moon to a werewolf", and more, "If a person is already looking to rape someone they would be more inclined to go for the drunk girl in a short, easily accessible skirt with heels she can't run in, than a school marm." Which there is some statistical merit too. There's also the issue of rape drugs and who a guy is more likely to make his target.Mortificator wrote:I really doubt seeing a woman in a sexy outfit is likely to transform the average dude into a rapist.

Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
It's mostly about clothes that attract attention. If a plain clothes girl and girl in a hooker getup goes into a supermarket, which one will get the most attention from the other females in there? It's only natural for guys, as we check out any piece of tail that walks by, hey, even we even check out a dude's ass if we can't tell right away it's a dude.

Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
Great, so my 1st graders are washing their hands with alcohol... No wonder they love lathering up in it and sniffing it until they are dizzy! The only good use I've seen for that disgusting hand sanitizer was when one of my students showed me how she makes teachers freak out - by drawing with a red marker on some tissues and adding some sanitizer to make "bloody rags"Of course excessive ''cleanness'' is not good. On a positive note many hand sanitizers are based on regular alcohol ( ethanol ), so its not much worse than rubbing your hand with vodka. What is nasty though is all those anti-bacterial soap and items that use antibiotic-like chemicals.
Triclosan is the best example: commonly found in soaps and toothpaste (colgate total) but also in some clothes and even toys. This product should be avoided. Unlike alcohol it acts a bit like an antibiotic and can affect natural micro-flora diversity and balance. It is know to accumulate and persist in tissues, it contaminates the environment and the photo-degradation of triclosan is know to produce a variety of dioxin byproducts, some of which are know carcinogen.

When you get a melody stuck in your head, but it isn't nearly long enough for you to remember what song it came from. Especially frustrating when it's an instrumental because no-one will be able help you find it.

Don't assume that the mind of a rapist, a deviant, disturbed person, holds the same ideals of 'sexy' or 'attractive' as the common man, or has simple sexual gratification as a motivating factor for their actions.

Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
What other reasons would motivate a rapist to rape? Power and control? The pleasure he gets from seeing a woman completely helpless, begging for her life while he fucks her? The unique and alluring perversity of the act (fetishism)? I definitely believe that some rapists rape for sexual gratification and the thrill of the hunt. I wouldn't even be surprised if some do it because they get off on destroying other people's lives (sadism).Don't assume that the mind of a rapist, a deviant, disturbed person, holds the same ideals of 'sexy' or 'attractive' as the common man, or has simple sexual gratification as a motivating factor for their actions.
That man in the news story you posted sounds like he had a fetish for old, vulnerable women (or was desperate for sex), and the healthcare field was the best place for him to fulfill this desire-- much like the Catholic church (supposedly) is a heaven for priests to molest alter boys... but that is just a rumor. I don't know if it's true.

Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
I think some of you guys might be taking issue with the wrong group, there. The problem isn't so much how we frame the arguments, but more that "she was dressed like a slut" is still used by loathsome, misogynist cunts as a way of justifying instances of rape, or of justifying throwing their hands up and not engaging with the issue seriously. The idea that it's ever partly the victim's fault, or that women should go through life constantly weighing up how likely they are to attract rapists, shouldn't be entertained.
Of course, I'm probably a bit of an outlier on this one - I've always thought changing anything about yourself so that some knuckledragging deadheads won't hurt you means they've won from the get-go, because then they're actually influencing daily life in a significant way. Changing your attire because you think there's a high chance you'll be surrounded by malicious picowits with no self-control might be quite sensible, but you should never lose sight of the fact that the onus should be on them (i.e. rapists and their sympathisers) to change. Or to fuck off and die. I'm easy.

Walking bare foot and catching your little toe on the door.
Bosses that say you can claim true miles expenses if you live closer to the place of destination, but then say "you can only claim from your place of work" if your home is further away.
People that do shopping in petrol stations holding up everyone who wants to use the pump.
The sound of clipped nails (shudders)

Radio in general. Don't know if it's a specific problem of our local stations or it's like that everywhere, but they seem to have only like 5-6 hours of (bad) music they loop over and over, and every station has the same exact playlist. And the commercials take up like 30-40% of time. I have no idea how can anyone willingly listen to this shit.burgerkingdiamond wrote:turning on the radio and hearing only the last 30 seconds of a song that I like.

It's the same thing with the forum search engine, people whine about it but they don't actually know how to use it properly.

Commerical radio. Only 5% of stations aren't commercial. Here in NJ. In the 90s I hated z-100 and all the poppy/house stations. I found 89.5, which is heavy metal/hard rock all the time. And its a college station so there are no playlists. Only the DJ and the listener choose what they want.worstplayer wrote:Radio in general.

Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
I agree, many men automatically assume that if a girl is dressed like a slut then she is a slut and wont say no. While the blame is mostly on the rapist some blame should rest on the women who is visually provoking and at times provoking in other ways. We all know its common for a women to lead men on just for free beer. I know of a good looking women who regulary goes out for the night with just £5 or £10 in her purse and when she gets home at night will have much more money then she started, all by leading men on getting them to spend money on her.emphatic wrote:It's mostly about clothes that attract attention.

Lets put it another way if I (or a better looking man) walked into a bar filled with women wearing just a thong Ild expect my arse to be slapped many times, same as you wouldnt walk around at night in a high crime area with a wod of money on display.
Im not saying that women shouldnt dress like sluts if that what they enjoy (as it makes good eye candy) aslong as they know there could be consequences.
