I was raped once, 40 years ago. I was 12. As an adult, I have never been assaulted.
Your lack of knowledge about how to do this is not evidence it cannot be done. If you are genuinely interested, there are links in this very discussion to some of my blog posts that talk some about prevention. It isn't a topic easily summed up in a paragraph or three.
- protomyth 9y agoI am sorry for your youth taken away. I once worked around social services and saw the dead inside from an a wide spread problem. I saw what not getting rid of predators did on a generational level. I would prefer to cut the predators from the world.
- Mz 9y agoPredators were, themselves, victims first. Your approach is broken on the face of it. It entirely disregards one set of victims, those so damaged they spread the issue. Prevention is the only answer that is compassionate to all the victims, including those who have gone on to become predators. I don't need your pity. My soul is richer for having lived the life I have lived. You might try respecting my hard won wisdom instead of finding new ways to put down and dismiss someone who disagrees with your draconian approach.
- protomyth 9y agoI’m not giving you pity. I only offer sympathy. I am not dismissing your wisdom, but I don’t believe every sexual predator was once a victim either. There are people who are just plain evil in this world. I am no mor draconian in my desires then I am towards murders because sexual predators cause much more damage. People are responsible for their own actions.
- Mz 9y agoPeople are also a product of their social environment. Current social norms create low hanging fruit for predation, thereby creating a slippery slope that helps make people into monsters. I don't really expect you to understand. You clearly aren't receptive. I don't see any point in continuing this exchange.
