Seriously. Confusion's statement contradicts all my own reading, as well as comments from rape victims[1]/friends of rape victims. Rapists are usually not strangers looking to score. It's almost always someone the victim knows, and it's usually about power, not looks.

[1] Survivor is a better word, but it was a clunky read when I tried it. I won't be bothered if you use it instead if you reply.

I actually just thought it was a given[1], but it isn't relevant to my argument. Consider it replaced by "Telling women that not getting drunk will lower their chance of being raped" or "Telling women that not rejecting advances will lower their chance of being raped" or something else that you know is unfortunately true.

[1] Even among 'friends' (acquaintances?), chances you will be hit on are higher when wearing 'less' and considering hitting-on-and-being-rejected is a common precursor to rape...

I honestly don't think those conclusions are accurate (factually). At least, I've not read anything that supports those conclusions.

Anyways, I tried to address another commenters questions about my post, and address it here:
