Regarding my reblog of ho tay accident : hey, I just want to let you know that you are free to comment on my opinion as I don't care :) I just don't see you get my point. 1) I never blame rape victims 2) I despise rapists regardless the gender 3) I study human body and sexuality and that's what I get. 4) I was victim myself. I just want GIRLS to be AWARE and PROTECTIVE of themselves Hope you study psychology more in the future.
Yes,despite what you think, I actually do get your point. I just think you’remassively contradicting yourself. You ‘never blame rape victims’? Let me citesomething from your own answer: ‘But then again, I can’t just blame the guys.Speaking frankly, the girls are at fault too.’. That sounds a little different,right?
You despiserapists regardless the gender? Well if that’s the case, that’s good. Becauseyou should. Nonetheless you’re actually defendingmale rapists: ‘Men are basically selfish animal. Something in front of themmeans it’s offered to them. They don’t have time to think that it’s wrong toeat something, to own something, to touch something already on their sightbecause they would think what’s wrong with eating my prey. I heard men havemore animal instincts than women, because of their testosterone, causing themto look manly, take risks, adventurous and wild but aren’t that what women likefrom men?’ So essentially you’re telling us that they’re not really responsible,because, ‘well, they just couldn’t help it, right’? With this you’re basicallyinsulting each male person on this planet because you’re literally saying thatthey’re ‘selfish animals’ and can therefore not be responsible for their actions.And so you’re pushing – at least part – of the blame onto the victims, becausethey ‘enticed’ them. To your ridiculous argument regarding testosterone, thereare many studies that don’t support the link between testosterone and aaggressive behavior and found no relationship between them. Of course there arealso other studies, but science is notsure if there is even a link between the two. Who are you to know better?But even if this were the case, men have the brain capacity, the intelligenceand the empathy to be fully aware what their actions are doing with the mentalhealth of their victims. But some of them chooseto ignore this fact. Not because they’re stupid or ‘can’t help themselves’ but becausethey obviously don’t care. And ifthat isn’t morally wrong, I don’t know what is. That’s the difference between humansand animals: we know what we aredoing to others and can control our behavior. We can choose what we’re doingand calculate how this behavior will affect others.
You study the human body and sexuality? Well, I don’t know how and where you’re doing this,but when these are the results of lots of studying, you should definitelysearch for new sources for further investigation into these topics. The onlything that you can achieve even with strengthening you genital muscles are ‘abetter control over your urinary and bowel functions, it can heighten youarousal during sex, enhance your orgasms, improve blood circulation to thegenitals, and increase vaginal tone and lubrication’. But nothing you can do, nothing, will give these muscles the strength to prevent the massive force with whichmen can rape you. Give me one seriousstudy, where this is ‘proven’. Seriously, I’d like to know how you come tothink of something like that through studies instead of just reproducing whatyou’ve heard somewhere.
And Ireally try to understand other cultures and traditions, I really do. But thathas nothing to do with relieving men from the responsibility of their actions.I agree, that there is a need to change social norms in some countries because ‘rapeis most prevalent in cultures with low female power and authority and wheremasculinity is expressed with violence’. But like I said above, that doesn’tchange the fact that we humans have a choice in our actions too, regardless ofwhat the culture we’re born in deems as right or wrong.
So insteadof telling me to ‘study psychology more in the future’, maybe you should check thefacts before posting harmful posts on tumblr. I am really sorry, if it’strue that you yourself have been a victim, but that doesn’t excuse blamingyourself and other victims for the crimes done to you.
