<p>I agree, women, and even men need to be responsible for keeping themselves safe. It’s like locking your doors at night, locks don’t keep out the professional burglars, but they do keep spur of the moment crimes from happening.</p>
<p>We’ve talked to our daughter about avoiding unsafe situations. She also is a martial artist and knows if she’s ever harmed or threatened to kick a*s and worry about the consequences later. I rather have her have to talk to the cops about how she knee capped some 200 pounder than to a rape counselor.</p>
<p>I think any right thinking person would agree that women don’t bring rape upon themselves but they can prevent it sometimes by being careful.</p>
