“umm, this is literally the definition of ‘blaming the victim’.”

No, it literally isn’t.

Hey thanks, if you're going to call people out on sentence structure and punctuation, you might want to consider avoiding the use of sentence fragments, and learn to use capital letters to begin your sentences. That's standard English usage, and if you don't believe in that, you have no place to stand in criticizing the writing (or thinking) of anyone else.

When you lose an argument, argue grammar instead.

You’re still dumb as a fucking rock, even, if, you, don’t, like, this, punctuation.

Looking both ways is smart, unlike walking into the street without looking. So is being aware of the remote possibility of psychos if you walk around alone in this neighborhood at night.

It’s telling that you avoid addressing the fact that random violence happens to men 2-4 times more than women. Maybe you wouldn’t pout so much if you noticed that there’s bigger issues than your pet area of hysteria.

Are you this much of an asshole in real life, or only on the internet?

ouch, bro. it hurts double to be called dumb by someone who can’t put together a sentence. double ouch. maybe adding some punctuation to your first sentence would make it somewhat coherent. i’ll do it for you, let’s say your sentence looked something like this:

“Random, prowling psychos who are wanted, but haven’t been caught yet, are similar to out-of-control traffic.”

ah, but even with proper grammar, this is still a senseless argument. somehow equating walking at night with deliberately hurling yourself at oncoming traffic . . . it’s depressing that anyone thinks this way.

Also it’s a really good idea to show out ‘fire’… Sounds silly, but people feel more inclined to help if there is a fire, than if you’re being abducted… Sad but true.

It isn’t misogyny that informs my opinion on this one, I even stated that dudes can take the same advice and avoid trouble by avoiding well known trouble spots. I know, you’re so very idealistic and want to believe that if we all just think positively we can make a change in this world. Don’t blame the victim, blame society! Let’s sit around and sing kumbaya. You’re delusional. It would be great if every psycho took responsibility for their actions but please, hold your breath. How about we all just take simple precautions and avoid trouble? Like I said, this could happen anywhere to anyone but 16-19th is a shitty place to be after 1 am. Except the bacon wrapped hot dogs.

If you’re actually advocating common sense, “find a babe at a bar time and go to their house” might not really solve your problem.

^ troll of the year. SLUT WALKS: BETTER THAN COMMON SENSE

As a dude living between 16th and 19th, who has been a local random violent crime victim (2-4 times more likely to be male, US DOJ stats) I carry a taser at all times after dark.

Random prowling psychos who are wanted but haven’t been caught yet are similar to out of control traffic. You’re troubled about this because you’re dumb.

the fact that you equate a girl walking by herself with someone walking into traffic, without any irony, is troubling . . .
