Seeing as most rapes are not reported at all, and that higher income womyn may actually be less likely to report a rape,(due to social stigma from people of her class) we really don't know for sure, which socioeconomic classes rape is more prevelant.
That might be true but 14 year old sluts are not, by law, capable of making those choices that's why they have things called parents or guardians. Thanks for reading my whole post. It's actually rare that a person read my post first and then comment. Thank you and even if don't agree on everything I do understand what you are saying and agree that there is some truth to it; however no matter how slutty someone acts doesn't mean they fully understand the consequences.
you need to give rapists an outlet such as rape porn. japanese people have the sickest porn but the lowest rate of crime and rape.
I was told (at school in health class) that men teenage boys are a couple years less mature than girls (on average) until they catch up in their 20s. They also told us that we should try and date girls 5 years younger than ourselves (when we get older like a 25 and 20 year old, not a 16 and 11 year old).
Thanks I appreciate that the you spoke on my behalf. I just want retro to understand that I'm just trying to contribute to the conversation and though my methods aren't to everyone's liking my intent wasn't to be malicious or argumentative.
to the theme of rape prevention to lower abortion rates it is one of the strong arguments for abortion, as said, that a woman has a right to choose what is being done to her body. In case of rape, a woman has a right to choose not to carry unwanted zygote (?) this is the strongest real life examples, since we consider every other "sex" that exists besides rape is consentual, and thus a woman has a very little excuse to be careless about the conception that she consented to. therefore,(hypothetically), to eliminate the rape, we would eliminate the strongest "pro" argument for abortion. to the theme of teenage pregnancy, interestingly, it is said teenagers are somehwhat not responsible (?) for pregnancies due to the total lack of knowledge and preparedness. It might sound old fashioned to promote abstinence, but how else do you suppose we reach emotional maturity important for the first sexual experience? If someone chooses NOT to wait until they are old enough to understand about responsibility, until they gain experiences in general and experiences in social relationships (yes, not all man-woman relationships need necessarily to end in a sexual intercourse in a matter of weeks) then in my opinion, even with the most graphic sexual education, we will not explain sex appropriately to teenagers.
Okay (just to clear something up), I posted this thread for a friend. I was on the forums while she was over at my house and she wanted me to post that. She can't make an account for herself because her parents are crazy. In my opinion, as said before, stopping rape is a wonderful thing to shoot for (even though it is unlikely that we can eliminate it). But I don't think that would make things easier on this debate. The pro-choice argument is about more than just rape. And rape is the strongest argument pro-choicers (yes, I made that up) have. Your posts all had valid points, and I really think my friend learned something. Thanks!
Actualy, the fact that adult women are people is the strongest argument that the Pro-Choicer's have for supporting a woman's legal right to control her body. A woman's control of her own body is also a reason to oppose rape.
first of all, "Zygote" is more correctly a haploid egg cell that becomes a diploid cell after fertilization... calling it "zygote of the rapist" is just wrong...thank you.
JavaJade, just so you know for the future, allowing someone to post using your account is not a good idea, for many reasons. More than a few people have lost their posting prileges when "someone else" used their account to post things under their name. In the future, tell your friend to use the Library computer. It may save your posting privleges.
Actually the rape rate in Japan is SERIOUSLY high. But, almost never reported. Womyn will "lose face" if they admit they were raped and their husbands, brothers, boyfriends and even female freinds may abandon them. In people who view that violent Japanese rape porn, the rape rate is amazingly high. Porn does NOT prevent behavior, it only ENCORAGES it, and makes the victim look less human and desentizes the rapist to the humanity of the victim. The only message that type of porn sends is "look all these guys are doing it, the womyn like it, go ahead." And looking at actual rates of UNREPORTED rape in Japan, that is exactly what is happening.
I'm staying away from this one, as there isn't any way to record rape cases that are unreported here or in Japan, I don't know hom much more prevelant rape pornography is in Japan then Europe or the US, I'm not sure how much more prevelant unrecorded rape is in Japan because of social stigmas. Even if I knew all those, there could be many other things at play besides rape porn. Although rape porn does seem kinda tasteless. Tastless isn't anything to draw a conclusion from.
