jsadin Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 In case anyone is interested, here's a link to an organization a young lady I know started many years ago to help women learn how to defend themselves against rape. Nancy Bittle is a great person and I've met her on several occasions back when we both worked for Digital. Armed Women Against Rape and Endangerment (AWARE) http://www.aware.org/index.shtml

Richard B the EMT Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Perhaps I had a moment of an unclear wording. I wanted to imply that, while possibly under-reported, it exists. I have never run such a call, but we all know, due to our collective experiences, they're out there!

firedoc5 Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Remember way, way, back we had an in depth discussion of rape. I think we covered every aspect of rape. Everything from women just giving in, letting the guy "finish" and let him be off, to the mention of " a anti-rape device similar to a chastity belt". And the mention of the reason on rape and the psychological devastation of the rape victim. Guess what I'm saying is, I can see this topic easily turning into a repeat of that topic. If people want to fine, go for it. But it does have a different angle to the topic so.... Shall we or shall we not hash it out again? Oh, and to me...I agree with those who think that I would worry more about the victim's lives. As it was discussed before, rape is not a completely sexual drive thing, it's violence driven. And if he's already "jacked up" and then put into a lot of pain, he's just going to become more violent.
