Should I wear a burka so I don't get rapped? It's not the womens fault some guyes are not man enough to behave themselves. Stop victim blaming.

In principle, I agree with you. But we live in a sick society, and reality has to be taken into account. It is an effective solution to the problem, like it or not.

A cognitive bias is a mistake in reasoning, evaluating, remembering, or other cognitive process, often occurring as a result of holding onto one's preferences and beliefs regardless of contrary information. Psychologists study cognitive biases as they relate to memory, reasoning, and decision-making.

Which would be part of said cognitive bias

This must by the mythological Logic Tood. I thought he was a legend

That is not quite accurate. I know Psychology exists. I just don't think that we as a species know enough about it to even pretend to be able to accurately understand it, let alone treat issues.

You should have a word with the Muslims in the Kingdom, they do force women to wear burkas bbq covers. Last I heard though it didn't really help them much to prevent rape. Same goes for the Indian ladies.

Going with the "feels" again I see.
You will have to switch to democrat soon.

I never bought his idea that the left only deals with feelings and the right only deals with logic. Although us moderates must be half

Don't buy it at all, just using his logic.

The whole concept of left and right is stupid, period. There is no such thing as definite universal political duality.

Oh yeah the women was at fault for being upskirted. Brilliant logic there but then you have GOP critters saying women are at fault too when they get raped.

I never said it was the woman's fault she was upskirted. In fact, I said the upskirter should be prosecuted.

Ok, I understand the reasoning behind this law, and agree with it. People who pull this crap ought to be prosecuted.

But the question must be asked. If you want to avoid being upskirted, why not just not wear a skirt?

But like it or not, not wearing a skirt is an effective solution to the problem.

Let's put it another way. Wouldn't it be pretty stupid to walk down a dark alley in a seedy section of any large city with a wad of $1000 dollar bills in each hand? Of course it would. It's a criminal offense for someone to rob you (or worse), but it's still a damned stupid thing to do.

Yes you did, and you repeated it here:

You just put the onus on the crime on the victim.

Let's put it another way, she was asking for it.
