Serious Question....
I've been watching TV again an the show had a scene with a rape victim in it. Many guys can't empathize how women are mentally shattered from having sex forced upon them. There isn't anything that a woman can make me do at knifepoint or gunpoint that I don't think I could shrug off. Every time I hear about it in the news or see it on TV a rapist is usually ranked right up there with a murderer as the worst of all criminals. I believe it but I'm not as revolted as if the guy was a kid killer Some victims take a physical beating (but assault by itself is usually no big deal) Is there a woman here (or maybe an LEO who has seen it up close) that can make me understand it from the female perspective? I'm not trying to minimalize it..just trying to understand.. |
|
one of my very close friends was raped.....so you can go rot in hell.
|
|
Because they have something put in them, instead of putting something in someone.
|
|
Hmm,just wondering how "traumatic" it would be for you if some linebacker cornholed ya in a back ally somewhere against your will?
|
|
Let me butt-fuck you without your permission in the middle of the night to put it in perspective
|
|
Loss of control. Shame. Its some nasty shit. I think its as bad as murder, cause it can destroy a life. I knew some girls who have been raped
|
|
Either you are trolling, or there is something seriously wrong with you
How would you feel if your wife or G/F was raped? How do you think they would feel? |
|
if you dont know already then you need more help than we can give you |
|
|
If someone stuck a pole in your ass, you'd be a little traumatized too. Well, maybe for about 10 seconds.
|
|
OK I thought I explained this so let me try again....
I understand that it's a serious crime What I don't understand is what the woman is going through |
|
how could you not understand what a women is going through? Dude go crawl under a rock or something |
|
|
I was a juror on a trial of a cops wife getting raped, I got sick and pissed from hearing the victims detailed description.
|
|
Is there anything a big ole brother could do to you that would be hard to forget? I deal with rape victims (adult and child) on a near daily basis. You are; 1. a Troll or 2. an idiot. |
|
|
A friend of mine said she was raped once, she decided just to go with it and try to enjoy it, she said it wasn't that bad.
I AM JUST RELATING AN ANECDOTE FROM A FEMALE FRIEND OF MINE WHO WAS RAPED, BUT DECIDED NOT TO RESIST. SHE DIDN'T SEEM TO SUFFER PSYCHOLOGICAL DAMAGE BECAUSE OF HER ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE ATTACK. I AM NOT SAYING ITS NO BIG DEAL AT ALL. RAPE IS BAD BAD BAD BAD. |
|
+1 Getting raped is WORSE than getting murdered asshole ETA: this is THE most ignorant question I've ever heard! VoodooChile, you are a moron. |
|
|
I would be traumatized because I was sexually involved with a guy and I'm not gay |
|
|
I'm new here and by far this is the dumbest post I have seen.
I can't even imagine why someone would think about this. |
|
Your friend must have been seriously fucked in the head before the rape ever "happend". She's making it all up. I'm calling RAW BULLSHIT on that. (not you, but your friend) Which political figure was it that said something along those lines and got canned for it? |
|
|
No one likes to be forced to do something against their will, especially if it is something deeply personal.
Ibtl. |
|
OK I understand it from the viewpoint of a father and a husband....What I'm needing help with is understanding it from a woman's viewpoint...do you understand that? |
|
|
I don't understand |
||
|
+1 that had to be the 2nd most insane thing Ive read in this post so far |
||
|
yep, he must be a Full Auto refugee....friggen clueless idiot |
|
|
Are you married and have children? |
||
|
If true and she is not a nut it surely was a date type or similar, eh? Surely she is not talking about a no shit stranger/forceable rare? |
|
|
Damn dude, are you just trolling. Could you shrug it off if somebody raped your mother or daughter? If someone did that to one of my loved ones it would be grounds for me to shoot them in the elbows and knees.
|
|
Then you missed my point alltogether. I have a very good understanding of what she went through. It cannot really be explained. And I'm not going to try. |
||
|
Probably not nearly as bad! .. trust and security is extremely important to a woman. rape extremely violates both. It creates an emotional turmoil I doubt many people could understand without going through it. I guess the closest thing a man can go through compared to rape is being molested as a child. The only time I guess one could minimize it is when a prostitute gets raped in a non-violent way. |
|
|
As a senior JBT who has worked many rapes and this by far is the worst crime possible, other than murder.
|
|
Again, that's what she told me And yes, she's crazy (bipolar/narcissist) |
|||
|
So if you were gay, then you wouldn't be traumatized by having a penis shoved inside you against your will? |
||
|
OK someone FINALLY understands what I'm asking!! |
||
|
VoodooChile, Assuming that you are not a troll, ask the mods to delete this thread. Write your question down and RUN dont walk to the nearest mental health professional. Relay your question to him/her! They will take it from there. Good Luck. (I am serious)
|
|
Wrists and ankles 1st, less blood loss = longer period before unconsciousness. |
|
|
Same thing. |
|
|
If you REALLY don't understand what a woman goes through when that happens, I guess you don't have much contact with women then. Sorry, but you are scary. |
|||
|
OK..I'm going to try this one more time...
If a woman I wasn't interested in cornered me in an alley and made me have sex with her would I be as emotionally shattered as if the same thing happened to a woman (probably not..would you?) What makes the two scenarios different? And yes I am a father and husband if if this happened to my wife/kids I would kill the sonofabitch but what I was feeling would be DIFFERENT from what the actual victim feels. And no I'm not a troll |
|
It doesn't matter if you as a man were hurt or not by someone forcing sex on you. In case you haven't noticed, men and women are different. And rape hurts and violates them profoundly. That's all you have to know.
|
|
Rape isn't about sex. It's about Power. |

If it were a butt ugly crack head, bull dyke who slapped you around and called you a fucking bitch, strapped on a dildo and rammed it up your ass dry. Tied you up and left you with a concussion and AIDs would it still be good sex? |
|
|
That's what you think. I'm sure you could be made to never again look at a beer bottle again without wincing in pain. Call these people and ask them your question, let the professinals explain it to you (800)656-HOPE (4673). |
|
|
I understand...what if the act that I was made to do didn't involve an erection (or any enjoyment) on my part...would I still feel the same trauma that a woman feels? |
|||
|
Captain Compassion would probably tell them to walk it off. |
|
|
You cant,,, you never will. I am going to try my best to bring this across... No flaming here. Ever been robbed or burglarized? If you have, you know that feeling of how violated? That multiplied by a Million oughta do it. All you have in life that is truly 100% YOURS is what you came into this world with. Your Body, soul and mind. Anyone who violates it, destroys more than can be imagined. I have dated 2 women that were raped and it is FOREVER etched in their mind. The effects cause more damage than you could imagine. to their mental train of thought and to the ones that love them. My ex fiancee was so traumatically damaged that she could NEVER hold on to a relationship... with years of counseling, she still cannot hold a relationship together. I really feel sorry for her... she is a great person. just lost. I hope heaven above has a "do-over" plan. She deserves it. |
