[(Anonymous)]

I was trying to explain the OPs attitude, not condone it. Our society has a history of blaming the victims of rape and a lot of people (male and female) buy into it. I think that until recently, the OP was one of those people. But all the discussion of rape happening in certain parts of fandom have made it very, very clear that it can happen to anyone, and that being a "good" girl won't necessarily prevent it. Now she's gone to the opposite extreme and become incredibly fearful of men. But I don't think that's going to keep her safe. In fact, that belief is just a variation on the idea that rape is a woman's fault. If you by avoiding men will guarantee that you're never raped, then all those women who trusted men must be, partially at fault, right? Rape is always the attackers fault, and putting any responsibility on the victim is wrong.

So her fear may not keep her safe. What it will do is make her feel scared all the time, which is no way to lead your life. Ultimately, this attitude is not going to help her, and it will probably end up hurting her. Obviously, she shouldn't ignore rape, and no one should trust people implicitly. But there is a middle ground and I think that the OP would be much happier if she found it.

The best lesson she (or anyone else, for that matter) could learn, imo, is that rape can happen to anybody and that, if it happens to her, it's not her fault. And that she's not alone, that there are other people who she could talk to. That her life isn't over and that recovery is possible.

Sorry if my previous comment was unclear.
