I do not believe that the proposed plan here merits any resources devoted to it. If the idea is to get men to change their behavior, the faster way would be to provide rewards and punishments. If a person was given a choice between eating chocolate for breakfast and eating poison for dinner after a healthy breakfast and lunch, he has a reason to choose an option which can lead to good. Without me necessarily telling him which decision to make. If a woman decides she wants something to help her out, I’m not sure why I should devote resources into telling her to do things your way and devote even more resources to potential rapists to tell them to do it your way.

Many survivors of rape find difficulty adjusting to normalized society, much akin to warriors and soldiers with PTSD. Writing, becoming a true believer in a cause for justice or to prevent harm in the future, can help that person cope. It does not, however, erase the trauma. Physical wounds will most likely heal in time. Mental trauma is different. Whatever the guest speaker is doing, seems to be working out well for her. That does not convince me it’ll work out well for another 100 million women, however. If only because those women would first have to be raped before the question of how to “cope with it” even starts.

People who have been held hostage also grow a sort of sympathy or empathy for their captors and abusers. They do so out of a survival reflex. In order to prevent being hurt in the future, they give their allegiance and help to their abusers in hopes that the abusers will find a reason not to hurt them any more. The greater the trauma, the more the mind and body seek to survive using any means whatsoever. The idea of using a weapon against their captors, or allowing their rescuers to use a weapon on their captors, now becomes the same as being killed. They fight against it, they fight to protect their captors, so that they are never “put in the same position again”. They fight their rescuers to protect their captors, for fear that the captors will see their lack of help as treason and kill them for it.

When I first studied the issue of rape, propaganda, and psychological trauma and the way they interwined, it seemed a fearsome weapon. A permanent damage akin to soul destruction that could never be healed. Truly terrifying, similar to losing one’s eyes, organs, legs, and arms. Permanent damage on a level that directly impacts our survival and living conditions. The only thing I knew at the time that could defeat such awesome power was to use an even greater power: death. For mortality rests upon us all, for that which lives, can be killed. Whether that meant the victim killing themselves as the solution before the rape or killing the rapist, I wasn’t too sure about. Certainly the latter was preferable, if women could do it, but then if such was in the power of women, rape would not be beneficial an activity overall. I journeyed for awhile, searching the secrets behind the power of death. How could one wield it to do one’s bidding? What separated those who could vs those who couldn’t? Would the power of death defeat the desires of the living to procreate and achieve sexual desires?

Later on, as I obtained much knowledge of destruction on one hand, I was told to seek the opposite in the other hand. That to obtain the true power of lethal force, one must necessarily study the healing and creation arts. Which was the idea that trauma and wounds of the soul could be the healed via an external power, much as one’s life could be snuffed out utilizing an external power. So the idea that this could be healed, I started to have, and I started looking for how this could be done from the psychologists I had learned from before. Warriors were very good instructors in destruction, but so much in creation.

At the heart of all victims is this ever seeking quest for security, a tool or power that gives them security. I suspect though that even if the power of firearms was proven to be effective, this particular individual would refuse to use it in her own defense. Fighting or conflict, is risky, and risk does not provide her the security she seeks. She would rather believe, and put her fate into, things that never allow the threat to manifest.

That makes sense. For certainly when I behead someone with my katana, their threat never manifests in the future. For death is not like a government promise. It doesn’t disappear. It is not fake. It is no illusion. It cannot be reversed with money or connections. It is permanent. In a way that trauma is not.

Have we stopped Democrats and Leftists from raping and killing as they please, by telling them to stop? Have we? Heh?

I am a Sheriff’s Deputy, and if telling people not to do these things worked, I would be out of a job! I suspect that there is very little danger of unemplyment from that direction, but I have had the economy take me from being a full timer to a part timer.

This confused young woman is projecting. If SHE was a rapist, a good scolding would deter her.

Glad Shirley brought up Swiper and Dora the Explorer. Hate that show for that reason. Drives me crazy that they can’t manage to say “steal.” It seems to make the offense seem less serious, which is not a good idea when dealing with young children. Some might say that I read too much into it, but it smacks of liberalism to me.
Don’t call it “swiping”. Call it stealing.

Jeez-Loueez. Apparently sleeping with Jane Fonda turns your brains into pudding. Glad I was never tempted.

I am pretty sure that the Ten Commandments were taught in school at one time. Even present the idea that there may be accountability at some point even if one 'gets away' with it. Of course we have thrown those worthless rules out and I am surprised that none of the school's have instituted Ted Turner's Ten Voluntary Initiatives instead...Who knows maybe they are but but do so unawares.

Well at least she is consistent. The left thinks we can talk the Jihadis into not hating us. Oh and killing us. You know just the success rate of an abused spouse talking her abuser out of his violent rage. Then there is this gem in the SFGATE about a woman who shot her attacker dead and his DNA was found to be at the scene of a dead man found in a trash bin in the prior weeks.
