Shut it yourself and get the drinks in.
Give me whatever helps to stop people getting raped. One of the best things the feminist movement ever did was to remind people that it's never ever a woman's fault if she gets raped but I don't necessarily think that putting all the onus on men is helpful. I don't know what I think to be honest, maybe I'm just tying myself in knots here.

Not rocket science is it? I don't go flashing my rolex* in town and at the same time lasses who were next to nothing will get more hassle. I don't believe this leads to more rapes, cos has been explored rape is more then that, but hassle factor -for sure. It's the neadathol twats which is the problem. Women should be able to wear want when they want, but that doesn't mean that how they dress won't cause them problems and sadly sometimes that has to be acknowledged.
For that reason fair play to the people who organised this march.

I do object to it, yes. When sexists have to be as careful as most racists are when they check who's in earshot, then I'll take advice from the police on how to stay safer from the few remaining psychopaths. Until then, don't expect me to bbe impressed by men who earnestly repeat this advice whilst calmly ignoring blatantly hateful cuntery.

What the fuck difference does that make and where the fuck do you get that from?
Fuck's sake, this wounded ego thing is pathetic.

Women on juries are traditionally a lot tougher than men on rape victims. I suspect a lot of that is down to self-protection rather than self-loathing ie You were dressed in a smutty way/walked across a park/invited a man into your home so that's why you were raped. I would NEVER do any of those things so a) that makes me safe from rape and b) it's your fucking fault. It might be about loathing fir be female but it has pretty fucking harsh consequences for other women. No empathy here

Please point out where anyone (presumably meant to be me) stereotyped ALL women as doing this.
You can't as no one fucking did. (sorry but it bloody annoys me when people exaggerate things into stuff you never said or implied. Trying to change the argument into one you can easily win instead of the actual discussion at hand?)
I did however express distaste at the ones that do do it.

what, fucking what?
this is just bollocks tbf, saying that it might be smart for lone young women to avoid darkened streets or dodgy streets is inherently sexist or excusing rapists and the like is bollocks. As a catholic in my home town I didn't get offended at someone suggesting I might want to avoid certain bars and go off on a rant at them about how there shouldn't be bars catholics should avoid.
likewise if someone told me some advice as to avoid a shitty employer I wouldn't go on a fucking rant about how there should be no employers.
fighting sexism and capitalism doesn't mean one shouldn't be aware of how to manoeuvre within it.

Not saying much more than it's a valid point for 8115 to make, as you pointed out some women do hold rather 'subjective' attitudes towards other women. The self-loathing vs self-protection thing is an interesting point because IME when we unpick the self-protection thing we are likely to find fear and levels to which women can undervalue themselves and their right not to be looked down on/seen as easy/raped.
