    OTOH, if you’re the parents of a young woman, you should teach her to be very careful when choosing to enter the hairless ape enclosure because humanity hasn’t yet reached a stage where that’s always safe.

    Perhaps if you define better what it means to be careful? Most people’s definition of being careful against rapists (avoiding after dark, avoiding creepy looking guys) is just completely wrong and gives false sense of safety and superiority to survivors.

    Looking at data, how rape happens in the most ordinary of situations by seemingly most ordinary of people. I don’t think there is anything you could really do to prevent rape other than not talking to humans whatsoever.

      For instance, don’t show up at a party drunk and nude, and then take drugs while you’re there. I’m not saying that you’re never going to be raped as long as you do that. But, that’s a commonsense way to avoid a certain kind of rape.
