why dont women who get raped fight back?

Question

we see countless stories of women in the media getting raped and yes it is a sad and shocking story but it is stupid to dance on societys theory that women are extremely weak and cant do anything about it. Honestly, I train in martial arts and self defence 3 times a week and if i was attacked by a man, there is no way in hell I would lay there and let it happen even to me, or at least I would try my very best to fend off the attacker. There is no way women can be so weak that they cant strike a man in the face or better yet, the balls and attempt to make a getaway. Stories of women getting raped only sets the idea in other women that their best option upon being attacked is to not be forceful and wait until its over. Ridiculous

Answer 1

Most do fight back, but are often overpowered by the man

men are generally physically stronger than women, putting the woman at a disadvantage when it comes to a fight

Answer 2

I know this is an old thread, I just needed to add in my confusion as well and get this off my chest. Well like other others say, the girl could just be overpowered and the son of a ***** would most likely choose the weakest victim to do so. What gets me is that I just read a story about a girl who just did a karate tournament and was harrased by some guys, yet she just stayed in one position because she was "too tired." That was obviously bull since fight or flight would jick in when you're in danger...but I guess the best answer is frozen with fear. This is the main problem we all need to work on in order to protect ourselves. It's so sad and frustrating to hear women just give in because they "can't do anything about it" because they are scared. Or it could be the usual "I'll kill you if you tell anyone" **** that scares the girl. We are not weak creatures, don't you dare use that excuse to not fight back, and get angry instead of scared. This goes to men who are likely to be taken advantage as well.

Answer 3

Hmm, good for you....but not all women train ye know! there is such a thing as men being a lot stronger than women. So have fun fighting off all you're rapists and attackers.

Answer 4

Ever think that rapists choose their victims based on what would be easier to them? I some how doubt that a man with intent to rape would go after a woman with quite a muscular body. The point of rape isn't for the sex, but for the power, so naturally those who look weak would be more of a target because they can be easily over powered.

Answer 5

Yes, it gives rapists the idea that they will not be physically resisted.

I live in a very gay area and one night heard a group of would-be macho male tourists hounding a smaller group of young lesbians. The males taunting them. The girls moved away, but were followed. I heard the two groups go right down the street, then a sudden wailing, and the male pack came back running. One howled: "That ***** kicked me in the pills!" The others were in total disarray, impotently swearing.

When push comes to shove, a male is rarely going to hit a woman, especially if other males are present, unless he is deranged. But he may kill her if both are alone.

Answer 6

Ever heard of being paralysed by fear? It could happen to you too. Maybe you do train in self-defence and martial arts, but when something like that happens to you and you're caught of guard, it might not be as easy to get away as you decribe it.



It really is easier said than done.

Answer 7

That's the most insensitive things I've read ever. Have you been raped before? have you been in that situation? I mean it really doesn't matter if you know martial arts or not when push comes to shove if someone is stronger they are stronger black belt or not. I'm not saying women are weak far from it, I know lots of women that could kick my ***. However for you to say they don't fight back is ******* disgusting how do you know they don't fight back?



******* honestly. It's one thing to put your self in a hypothetical scenario but in real life it's always different. You are a moron.



edit: I love how you're giving everyone a thumbs down who called you out on being a complete moron, kudos to you madam

Answer 8

The typical woman doesn't train in martial arts and you haven't even been attacked by a man yet so what do you know?

Answer 9

am i able to anticipate you're male by using your demonstrate screen call (brad)? i do no longer see why you have a difficulty with it. it extremely is human nature. it is all. a guy is meant to guard a woman. it is how human beings have been "designed" so for you to communicate. I have not have been given any difficulty with women human beings in a helping function, despite if it may well be folly to place women human beings in a try against function with adult adult males around. that isn't meant to be sexist, basically the certainty, yet women all people is distractions on the battlefield. overlook approximately how the media might have a field day displaying injured woman infantrymen, a male soldier would be much less probable to end his venture because of the fact he desires to maintain a wounded woman comrade. it is instinct. to maintain any woman who's "area of the tribe" (our tribes have taken this style of countries lol.) bodily and mentally, maximum women folk all people is definitely much less in a position than adult adult males in battling, it is additionally actuality, no longer prejudice. women all people is of direction greater susceptable to torture (additionally of direction, sexual). you ought to probable enhance the ladies human beings's authentic flow as a counter-argument, and that i'm no longer likely to argue against that, yet i visit declare that i'm chuffed leaving issues as they are and not making women human beings so equivalent to adult adult males, that they try on the front lines. women human beings and adult adult males are comparable, yet they nonetheless have alterations. to declare they are completely the comparable is to flee certainty. As an extremely final observe. the only way i ought to be certain this working is despite if it extremely is an all woman unit no longer working in stay overall performance with male units. basically a lone unit. so for reconnaisance and sniping i assume they might artwork out wonderful (nevertheless the linked destructive aspects are nonetheless there)

Answer 10

Well, not all "women" are train like you. really..stop being so damn stupid posting crap that makes no sense..how much you wanna bet a guy can still take you down even if you know all that. all he needs to do is hit you hard on the head or just drug you..then what? you're going to kick him? punch him while you're out?



get a life and worry about yourself

Answer 11

they would fight back, but it's the simple predicament of being overpowered. there would be also be so many psychological factors berating the poor woman. people can literally freeze up.

Answer 12

What your saying makes sense I guess... but I don't get it. How can you kick him in the balls when his dick is up your vag?

Answer 13

the ones that can fight back, don't get raped. So they are not rape victims.



Do you see? Do you get it?



Einstien

Answer 14
