A bit about "potential rapists".One of the most commonly misunderstood and misquoted ideas that come up when discussing rape is Schrodinger's Rapist. Schrodinger's Rapist basically states that when a strange man approaches a woman, she has no idea if he is or is not a rapist. It's not about defining rapists or accusing men of being rapists, it's about threat assessment and an attempt to explain that threat assessment to the people being assessed. (That would be us, guys.)
This is not the same thing as claiming all men are potential rapists. The claim being made is that a woman simply cannot tell if a man is a rapist or not by sight alone. This is not an extraordinary claim. Rapists don't wear “Hi, I'm A Rapist!†t-shirts. They don't have flashing neon signs over their heads. There is no physical characteristic that will allow a woman to pick a rapist out of a crowd.
Given all of that, it's often in a woman's best interest to assume strangers approaching them might be a rapist, especially since there's a not inconsequential segment of society that will blame them if they engage a man in conversation and he turns out to be a rapist. Also known as the "What was she wearing?" discussion.
Yeah it pretty much is

5. One could feel similar in the hood where I live when a person of color approaches them
Based on past experiences, crime rates here based on race/type, etc.
Two of our small stores here you can buy drugs any time day or night, homes broken into, people have shot up cars with guns and BB guns, and the crime rate since I was a kid has soared.
Many of the older people see this as a direct correlation to our area becoming mostly minority (and their own experiences have added to that).
also using it to justify racism

7. Based on my experience I'd only worry about white people as far as theft goes
and I live in a pretty diverse area. But all the times I've had something stolen when the person was caught, and the one time my house was broken into, every time it was someone who was white. Well it was two white teenage kids when the house got broken into, not just someONE.
So you and I have different experiences, since those crimes are committed often by white people and often by people of color. On the other hand, 99% of rapes are committed by men.
Also, I lock my door and don't give my key out to any stranger, of any race, because any one of them might rob my house. I don't know who until my house gets robbed, and I don't assume anyone can be trusted with my key
and even racism against white people, which according to DUmmies is impossible

What the hell else would it be DUmbass? Whether you DUmbass liberals like it or not, there is a direct correlation between race and crime, and you know this deep down. You can't just bury your head in the sand and ignore it.

I did not read that mess of disjointed and delusional thinking, but I don't need to. Someone forgot their meds today.

And it's safe for men to assume then that all women are gold diggers too. Do these idiots even listen to themselves and extrapolate out their concrete thinking to other scenarios they would call be homophobes, racists, and misogynists were they to apply their own illogical way of thinking to other populations? The bottom line is it is best to use one's good JUDGEMENT(gasp that evil word) when in any situation and considering the circumstances. HOwever, we all in order to love, live, and grow need to take some chances. Unfortunately, we don't know sometimes until it's too late with some people because they are very good at hiding what they are that they are a threat to us. You can't walk through life totally anxious OR totally carefree.

Question, can a woman be raped by a bulldyke or does a rapist only consist of someone that has a penis?

75. Stupid analogy. Men are the only people who will rape a woman.
The gender-based distinction is based in fact, not prejudice. A woman is not equally likely to be raped by a man or a woman. Nowhere is this or will this ever be the case.

:lmao: You mean, give your set of keys to random strangers? Of any and all races? I thought everyone did that! Here, take my keys. Don't look in the closets, Christmas gifts have been stashed there. Pay no attention to my cash stash in the underwear drawer.

This is a good time of year to remind women not to put their purses on the floor in a public restroom. I heard the story of one being grabed under the stall and by the time the woman got out the perp was long gone. By the time she reported it to the store mgr and police, got a ride home (no car keys) her home had been robbed.

Wishful thinkin? :naughty:
Lets think about this, you are a dried up, miserable, old liberal shemale who spends all day reading bodice rippers and postings on the intertube. You live vicariously in a smoke filled fantasy world where the most action you experience down there is from a tinkle. Now does it start to make sense? :hammer:

I've heard tales of aggressive, to the point of abuse and possibly rape, lesbians in female shower rooms.
I've also seen older lesbians practically carrying younger women out of bars and towards the lesbians home. If the lesbian were a man, the result would be called rape. I've also seen them work that like a snare, with them telling the girls that because they "had sex" they were lesbians, whether they had any previous interest or not.
