@ Bells,
Topic: Can risk management techniques be applied to rape mitigation?
Start time: Before midnight 2008.11.30, Randwolf arguing the affirmative.
One opening post, one additional/rebuttal post, one concluding post.
Standard rule four applicable to time frames thereafter, Bells arguing the negative.
Edit: All times -5 Greenwich / EST.
Please acknowledge your acceptance.
I accept. As the question is stated.
Except for one point. It is now 2011.
NOT 2008. I would suggest you take your confused mind out of years ago and bring it to the present. I understand you seem to be hung up with that period, but really, I barely discussed this with you but was discussing it with angrybellsprout, now unless that is your sock, you really need to let that go.

Just an observation...
Rape mitigation is possible with stranger rape.
Mildly doable for date rape
Only vaguely possible with intimate partner rape-you have to not get involved with someone who will do that in the first place-and it's not obvious.
Not at all possible for me to stop my dad. He would have inevitably had sex with me, sooner or later.
You see, it was the wording that had me chuckle. One cannot mitigate a rape. If you wish to know why, I would suggest you look up the meaning of "
mitigate". His question is flawed from the beginning.
Now, he may mean "mitigate" along the lines of lessening the chances of being raped. If that is so,
his wording should be clearer. If I am to take him as he states it in the question without trying to delve into what he may wish it to mean, then I'd like to know how one can lessen the severity of rape through "risk management techniques". I mean how does one make rape less severe?
If I take his usage of "mitigate" and apply the legal definition, his question is just as flawed.
So for all his posturing, he can't even recognise what I tried to tell him a few posts ago.. *Sigh*..
So the question remains.. Should I be nice and apply it to how he may have intended it to mean? Or should I take the question
literally and make him look like a misogynistic buffoon for assuming that one can make rape milder and less harsh?
