re: #480 allegro

You are saying that it is the responsibility of women to take precautions at all times and to be wary because rapes are going to happen.

Gus is “drawing the line” that all men are rapists “meme.”

You aren’t seeing the rather obvious connection between these two points?

What women here are probably seeing, as I am, is that if women aren’t wary, we’re raped, and if we aren’t, we’re still fucked for being paranoid meanies.

Uh no, even if I were to write the claim you attribute to me, there would still be no way to derive “all men are rapists” from it.

What I’m saying is this:

1. There are, in principle, circumstances when the probability of rape is larger than usual.

2. It’s not wrong, in principle, to try to identify such circumstances.

3. When one does err while identifying such circumstances, it may look bad, but does not necessarily stem from either malice or blaming mindset.

With which of the above three do you disagree?
