Of course not, but flirt out in the open where one isn't so vulnerable. Make sure there are people around so a possible rapist abuse you. And never drink to the point where your guard is let down
No question it would've left a much different impression if it was a man. The circumstances would've been different. A man would've had to physically overpower me and I certainly wouldnve enjoyed it.
She shouldn't and in a perfect world she wouldn't but that's just not reality. In this broken world she had a duty to protect herself and failed in that duty
I can't speak for all rape victims but you have two guys that have been raped in this thread that basically said it wasn't the worst thing that ever happened to them. The women I usually hear seem a lot more torn up about it imo. Fwiw I actually find myself strangely turned on when I'm sexually...
Maybe. I didn't wake up in the middle of the night with panic attacks though which is what I imagine ptsd to be like. But yes it bothers me to this day
On some level it's a heart issue. You can be given truth but your heart has to be Ina place where it's able to accept it. So many of our secular humanist friends think they're guided by reason and intellect above all else and put that the ideal way to live. Is argue that they worship themselves...
There's a long history in psychiatry and psychology of all the lgbt issues being treated as mental disorder. It was only during the sexual revolution when the lgbt community started putting pressure on the doctors that they caved in. They were but medical professionals not used to dealing with...
I should also say there's a time and a place for dealing with the victims irresponsibility when it involves alcohol or flirting. While they're just getting over the crime probably isn't the best time to bring it up. But eventually they'll have to deal with the fact that if they'd made different...
I actually think the abortion question is more of a heart issue than a head issue. Defenders of abortion think they've made their decisions based on reason and intellect. I'd argue that it's a hardened heart that is at the root of it all. I can't provide a mathematical formula that explains that...
It's a sad part of our culture that this fact gets overlooked. So much focus is on the evil men that treat women like prey. The men who have been violated by women are sadly overlooked. I say this as a rape victim myself. I was raped by a woman while I was drunk. I actually take responsibility...
The quote about male survivors is not as funny as you might think. I am a rape survivor myself, raped by a woman while I was drunk. I can assure its no laughing matter
I say this as a rape victim myself while I was drunk (raped by a woman in case ur curious). She didn't protect herself. She made a foolish, irresponsible decision to get wasted and ended up in the hands of a predator. Both men and women need to drink more responsibly lest they fall into the...
I'm a naturally pessimistic person easily discouraged. If I was a Jew waiting for the Jewish picture of a messiah (whatever that is) I would've thrown in the towel millennia ago
God chose to reveal himself with words that people could understand. Somebody obviously thought it was a good idea to write them down so they could be shared with others
To the OP. The advice you're going to get on this forum is to trust yourself above all else. Trust your ability to reason. Make a a decision on what to believe based on reason and intellect. There you will find the religion that people here will steer you to: worship of yourself
I really don't understand the evangelical fascination with Israel. Biblically speaking I really don't see how Jews that reject Jesus are any different than any other pagans. I've heard pastors preach that the temple in Israel needs to be rebuilt as a sign that the end is near and that they...
The Quran is an incoherent mess of a book. It lacks any sort of structure and is just a collection of random thoughts strung together. I never found any of its religious insights to be thought provoking either. It resembles the OT more than the new and in that respect represents a regression in...
