How about taking a late night stripping assignment at a college frat house?
So, what does that say about frat boys?

As for your scenario it would still depend.
You aren't sure if you'd rather be forcibly raped with a knife at your throat than go through some nasty mind games and emotional abuse?
Wow.
All I can say is wow.
I was emotionally abused by my parents for my entire childhood. It took me years and years to recover from that.
If I had to choose between getting violently raped at knifepoint for a few hours or the above mentioned emotional abuse, I'd pick the latter, every single time.
The thing about my parents is as cruel and abusive as they were, they never threatened to kill me by cutting my throat if I didn't do what they said.

One thing I have noticed is that though rape of men by women or other men has been acknowledged at one small point in this thread it has largely been ignored.
Rape of men by women is extremely rare.
Rape of men or boys by men is more common (1:33)
However, a big reason it hasn't been brought up that much is becasue it wasn't part of my controversial opinion, which dealt with male on female violent, forcible rape.
Your example of a May-December affair, or "statutory rape" is not relevant.

It appears you want us to somehow feel more for one person wronged than another.
Well, yes, I think that we should feel more for a victim of violent, forcible rape compared to the victim of statutory rape.
Statutory rape is not a violent crime, and in some cases, probably shouldn't really be considered a crime at all.
Forcible rape is a violent crime.

C'mon, crash you know what he's talking about.
It's like the fact that a cashier or a bank teller "invites" getting robbed at gunpoint while at work.
They should know better than to take a job like that.

Oh, of course. I mean, they're right there with all that money! Obviously people are going to be tempted, and we all know that people stop being responsible for their actions when they're tempted by money. Isn't that the law?
No? Oh, I guess it's just men and sex where we completely vacate their responsibility for their own actions. My bad.
Sheesh, it sure took you long enough to come around to realizing the truth, but it's good that you've finally seen the light.

No it is more accurate an annology to have sympathy for the mountain climber who dies.
Or the race car driver.
No, your analogy is faulty.
There is no person who paid the mountain climber to climb the mountain and then decides to cut their rope, just for fun, because they feel like they had the right to do so since they paid the climber.
The race car driver's sponsors don't have a remote control device that blows up the car if the driver refuses to drive, for example, in a dangerous way that the driver doesn't want to do.
What you are doing is blaming an employee when their employer acts inappropriately.
quote:
Of course it is more convenient to not take responsability for the risks of ones one choices.
I take the responsibility of the risk that any of the customers that come to my cash register might shoot me for the money in my till.
Does that mean that I am asking for someone to shoot me, and that my job is not a legitimate one?

I love this because you are very keen to be a champion of abortion and defend the fact that people will have sex and that is just the way it is yet you wish to deny another fact of human behaviour that males have and always will exhibit.
Ah, yes, the "boys will be boys" defense.
I know what we can do. Since men can't help but rape women when they look upon their bodies, why don't we require all women to wear head-to-toe coverings so they will always be protected from the male gaze, since if men can't see their bodies, rape will disappear.
Because after all, it shouldn't be up to the men to control themselves, so we should control women's behavior.

This will not change.
Well, it certainly won't if you have the attitude that it won't.

Therefore when you play with fire....oh well.
Tell me you would walk into Cabrini green in chicago on a hot full moon summer night dressed as a dancer and I might take you seriously.
lol......as a fool lmao
But why would I do that?
If I was a stripper paid to put on a show at a private party, that's what I would expect to do.

By the way....a bank teller has security cameras in public with alarms and a host of other safety measures.
Oy that was too easy.
The shop that I work in doesn't have any security cameras and very few safety measures.
There is sometimes thousands of dollars in the till.
Is being a cashier in a grocery store a poor, irresponsible choice?
Are we asking to be held up?
My father was a pharmacist, and he and my mother and older siblings owned and operated a small-town pharmacy.
One night, he, my mother, brother, and an employee were held up at gunpoint. The gunmen wanted drugs, probably to sell.
Is working in a pharmacy a legitimate occupation, and do you blame my father for the incident, since having a whole store full of controlled substances was clearly an irresponsible business to be in?
