Twitter Users Posts A Thread About How Woman Can Be Safe From Crimes

Precaution is necessary for a woman.

At least that is what we have been told since we were little. After all, it is our fault if something happens to us. It was either because we were walking home alone at night or wearing revealing clothes. However, it is never the victims fault no matter how many people say so. The person to blame is always the perpetrator. Now I am not going to say that men don’t get r*ped because that would be a massive lie.

However, according to the statistic victims are predominantly women. And according to the perpetrators, it is never about actual s*x, it is more or less about power and dominating another person. So no matter what you wear, you are still at risk. Because these monsters don’t choose their ‘prey’ over slutty clothes, they choose them by seeing who looks the weakest or who would be easy to handle. I know that sounds disgusting but that is the cold harsh truth.

But even knowing this, we still blame the woman and say that they shouldn’t have done this or that. The following thread is an answer to that.

Just take a look before you judge what she is going to say.

All the following things are common sense and yet people do it anyway.

If you can’t control yourself, better warn others.

Even if it’s morning, just don’t do it.

Just because you are helping them doesn’t mean they owe you something in return.

I know this may come off as patronizing.

However, many perpetrators aren’t people in masks hiding behind a dark alleyway.

I have a sarcastic personality and just started snapping back when people would say those kinds of things to remind people that s*xual as**ault is a male problem instead of a female problem. They didn’t understand it at first and definitely came at me. I just had to remind them to take the time to read it, and after that, they understood the comedy I was going for.

I think this all comes down to the patriarchy and the idea that men are superior. There is a deep-rooted idea that women are meant to serve men and that men can do no wrong. Therefore, the blame for assault is directed at women rather than men.

Most of them are people we know and trust, and they betray us.

It might be peer pressure, or they might think we owe them.

Whatever the ‘reason‘ may be, there is no excuse.

Remember that you are ruining a human being’s life.

It is definitely not a joke.

It is just a sarcastic take on real problems.

I think we were all ready for that.

Thankfully it didn’t turn out the way we had feared.

This thread shows the stupidity behind our logic.

Precaution is necessary since people aren’t going to stop being bad.

However, we do need to teach many people what consent really is.

You would think that everyone would already know this but many don’t.

He has definitely got that right.

There’s a difference between blaming women because they wore slutty clothes and telling women it’s safer if they take a friend with them if they go somewhere. Yes, the r*pists are always the ones at fault, no question about that ever. But the victim is the one who suffers and may have a lifelong trauma, being at fault or not. General advice – watch your drink, take a friend with you etc. – is good and important.

Advice that is female-specific, like not to wear short skirts, is stupid. If we want to change anything, we should address these advices to everyone, not just women. Men may not be as likely to be raped, but they’re as likely to be robbed or beaten up. But society never considers them potential victims since they’re expected to be strong and self-reliant. -Kari Panda

Maybe that’ll help spread awareness.

We need more threads like this.

I am thankful that it wasn’t what we had all expected.

I would say the best thing I’ve read in a few days actually.
