(11,925 posts)to commit rape. if I do not know or cannot trust a man,since I cannot read his mind I don't know what choices he would make.
I'm not a mind reader,but I am a survivor,and I know how common rape is,and it makes the world a scary place once it has happened to you.
I don't think all men are rapists,but I am wary that a man might choose to be one.
I wouldn't know for sure until he tried it or did it to someone else.But that vigilance against rape,and the chance it could happen it remains a potential reality. I wish rape never happened.I wish no one raped anyone. just like I wish there were no pedophiles or sociopaths.
but there is a point where rape is a choice made by the rapist,and the rapist is 100% at fault for the choice he makes to destroy another person.
That's why I get disgusted when rapists get excused and victims bashed. And in this society it can be so cruel to a survivor,denial can go deep as can culture,even if said culture is toxic.
