    I'll quote myself a few pages back:

    But being assaulted, overpowered, and rendered powerless while several people take shots at you, wound and humiliate you, where you are in a situation where you simply cannot stop it, where you cannot act against it, and where you cannot defend yourself... That is pretty much what rape IS. Being rendered powerless, at the mercy of someone who's clearly dangerously insane, and having no options to get out.
    I don't think it's ever happened to you. So it's easy to judge. But I don't think you can imagine the amount of fear and humiliation such a situation will cause.
    I've been in both situations.

    Well, holding a door or the elevator for a nice girl isn't going to do anybody harm :>

    Men are more likely to be killed too. So let's assume you don't survive.

    As I've already pointed out, rape accounts for only 6% of all violent crime with men being the overwhelming victim demographic of all other types of violent crime.... any and all of which stand a better than average chance of landing you in the hospital and very real chances of getting killed... or at least being in a PVS.

    So if we're playing "Would you rather", I think I'd rather have a 1-in-1000 chance of being raped than a 16-in-1000 chance of being shot, stabbed, beaten, killed or curb-stomped into braindeath.

    I would commit suicide if someone attacked me on the street and raped me. I wouldn't be able to handle that, not a chance i'd ever be the same again.

    Harm? I suppose not. It makes you look like a sucker, though. At least if you only hold the door for girls. If you'd hold it for a guy as well that's different. That's just polite.

    Chivalry is not dead. Real men are dead. In the north, women and mothers are our most precious treasures.

    that likelihood becomes a lot higher once you adjust for gender, like you did with the other crimes.

    but "would you rather" is pretty subjective anyways.

    I'm not going to go out of my way holding the door for a random guy. However, if I see a girl that looks interesting I might take some few extra steps to ensure I get a chance to talk to her.

    Me, a few pages ago: "Anyway, speaking only for myself, I don't think it's unreasonable to say that it's perfectly normal for women to be afraid of being raped. I mean, of all the things in the world to be afraid of, that's certainly up around the top of the list." So, speaking of strawmen...

    If you've read this far and you STILL don't understand why the two things are relevant to each other, then you're being intentionally obtuse. But then, we both already knew that.

    Fun fact: If every woman who was raped in America went down that path there would still be fewer yearly female suicides than male.

    Do you get my point? Rape is so ridiculously unlikely that it's not worth being hypervigilant about. No moreso than me being worried I'm gonna get stabbed.

    Is that a threat? You know I'm pretty sure the very founder of this site is French, so I don't know where you get off telling me to "stop that" like some kind of racist missionary hearing pigmy dialect but maybe I missed the forum rule that states you always have to speak English or get out. If so, then I have no issue speaking English.

    Why do you even mention it? Are you gonna try to turn it into another of your "OH NO, MENS RIGHT"-things?
