Misogyny knows no bounds
First, a top general in the U.S. Air Force chocked up the military’s sexual assault epidemic to a “hook up” mentality. Then, Hong Kong’s security minister said that women should avoid drinking too much if they don’t want to get raped. He said, “Some of these cases also involved the victims being raped after drinking quite a lot of alcohol. So I would appeal that young ladies should not drink too much.”
Women should not wear provocative dresses, women should not drink alcohol too much, women should not go to the streets at night, women should not go out alone, women should not go to bars, women should not do anything they like to do to avoid rape.
Men do not stop raping because men are not advised not to rape the way women are advised not to be raped. Most people probably believe men will never control the urge to rape women, so it is women, or the potential victims should reduce or sacrifice their freedom and rights if they want to save themselves from being raped, abused, assaulted, killed by their fellow humans.
If women stop wearing so called provocative dresses, stop drinking alcohol, or do not walk in the streets alone, do not go to bars, they will still be raped. Because many men still do not believe raping is bad because they know that it is not considered bad in a patriarchal society to treat women as sex objects and slaves. .
