Really? You go out for a walk and you are supposed to know that you are going to get stabbed?

On the other side, you marry someone you don't know well enough, yet you assume he's going to be perfect and nothing bad could possibly comes out of him?

Assuming other people are dangerous is BASIC STUFF, it's everywhere. Why do you think my name is crazygamer and not my real name? why do you think my face, address, family names, place of work etc... do not appear on this forum? Why do you think YOUR name, address etc... do not appear in the forum? Why is the front door of your house locked when you are not home, possibly locked too when you are home? Because you DO ASSUME there is danger with other human beings and if you don't assume, and let your door open all day long or give all your info online and sooner or later something bad happens, you are not going to consider your MISTAKE as exactly that?

Same thing here, don't leave your door open, don't give your info online and if you do then take responsibility. NOT for the crime someone could commit against you but for the lack of good judgement of doing those things.

You specifically described your scenario as a dangerous part of town, i.e. incidents like robbery or stabbings have a realistic chance to occur during night time. On the other hand, marriages are made with no visible or known signs that rape is a realistic possibility, especially because marriage is usually a decision that is made after a high level of trust has been built. As such, the two scenarios are not equal at all, hence why your analogy falls flat on its face.

All the analogies you use in your most recent post fall into the same category as "dangerous part of town", so they aren't any good either.

"incidents like robbery or stabbings have a realistic chance to occur during night time. On the other hand, marriages are made with no visible or known signs that rape is a realistic possibility"

but is that true? is it not a widely held belief that we live in a rape culture?
