262. No, you're still not getting it.
The point is to make you sit up and realize what it's like to be a woman. That's a really hard thing to take on board and it's not something you can actually achieve.


That isn't the point at all. Women collectively aren't expected to be culpable and responsible for the actions of any woman individually. Nor are they called stupid probable rapists as Skittles did upthread for objecting to it.

I accept that it's unpleasant to hear well-intended but scary self defense advice to own the responsibility of your security against bad people. In return, you should accept the idea that it's unpleasant to hear ill-intended, grossly sterotypical and insulting advice that I should be responsible for the actions of any and every rapist by virtue of sharing the same plumbing.
