What is your view on victim blaming victims of gender based violence? For example, when a woman is raped, and the first questions that arise are 'where was she?' ' Why was she with him?' 'Why did she trust ?' ' Why wasn't she cautious enough?' And so on...
Sep 16, 2024As some studies have shown most of the SA in cities could've been prevented if she was more cautious. For example staying late at parties , then being drugged etc. And people take this data to blame the victims. But in reality , most of the SAs happen outside big cities (geter akebabi weys ye kilil ketemoch) but more often than not these cases are not "reported" due to the culture of "impurity". As a guy who've lived in both big towns and country side, I can conform that these assaults are present in small towns and villages. So to answer your question: the reasons that society , specially men and elderly women blame the victims of SA are quite complicated and mainly related with religions and cultures. So as long as you start questioning religions cultures , these "victim blamings" are here to stay.

Sep 18, 2024It is a sensitive issue. One can argue that what the girl wears, where she was could have brought those unthinkable things to her. But I think we should focus more on placing huge punishment on those guilty of doing such things to protect our women.
Sep 18, 2024Asking these questions in a country that has rape culture built in it, is going to get you some lovely "rational" discourse. Men would rather have women stay at home at all times, rather than look within and face the fact that they are enablers. And one funny, in actuality sad, fact is, most SA is done by the people the victims know, not by strangers in alleyways, in clubs. But ofc it's the women, smh. And also rape is very prevalent in the country side, so what's going on there, are the women fetching water in a bikini.
Sep 18, 2024I really hope people ask those questions out of shock. We tend to wanna know how things happened when we're surprised. But actually blaming the victim, unreasonably like that is unacceptable
Sep 18, 2024In response to a retard, I want to entertain another scenario, getting our phones stolen. Now I never heard anyone say to a person that was robbed why weren't you cautious? Or ask why did you get in a taxi. And I also haven't heard the argument that being powerful put you in a position of never being a victim, but hey somehow "it's eVIl FemNiSM" not the fact that men are raised in a manner in which for some sexual pleasure can only be achieved through using power and the fact that we are to see women as objects. Also if we are to take the route of caution, how about never leaving your room, both for not getting raped or having your phone stole. I mean by the retards logic, as long as you decide to step out of your room, you're responsible for whatever happens to you, I mean you knew the risk. And to add to a point from the above commenter, a significant portion of sexual assault victims are under 18, so what gives? Are 10 year olds staying out with a mini skirt?
Sep 18, 2024Because "powerful" nen teblo dgami degmo "we are victims" malet it contradicts each other...if you went to a club with reaviling cloth by your self cuz "you are an independet powerful women who can do what she wants" and on your way out got raped, you can't pull the "im a victim" card, its your own choise to not be fearful or cautious, everyone has a free will and you don't deserve any special treatment or protection cuz you said "man and women are equal" at any rate, so do protect your self strong women cuz he is a meniac or horny guy who got excited that you were at night with that half cloths getting careless...as humans are not rainbows and lawful as they are depicted he has his own wicked free will so he may rape you, kill you or if he is a good man walk you to home safely as a gentleman..its his choice his own free will bad or good.
