Yea that's just one of many rape myths. The concept that a guy isn't responsible for raping someone because he was overcome by his sexual instincts and had no control.
That one gets pushed a lot.
It's pretty damn insulting to the male gender too. Hell, in the middle east women cover up to show only their eyes because they don't want to spark 'lust' in men or some other bullshit. People over there get a hardon if they see a woman's ankle - seriously. It doesn't really help because they just continue sexualising whatever is 'forbidden' to them. In USA it's tits, in Africa everyone walks around topless, and in the Middle East if you show your upper arm you're tempting rape. Sad to say that I think religion usually supports the idea that men are 'helpless' against their base desires and therefore have to repent, praise God, pay money to their church for forgiveness etc. It's pretty much a trap.
I posted on the forums, and the dev actually empathized with the rapist, said he was a good father and hard worker. In the game, the impression is that he "just lost control."
I actually had that game removed from my steam library. Looking at it made me ill.
Wtf. Some people.
Yea I backed out of debating that whole thing because it was causing me severe depression. Like I had a huge downward spiral for a few weeks after playing the game and reading the devs comments to my questions. The game was really (textually) graphic about the whole thing. Also, she realizes this after two attempted rapes, also graphic, and being told by this old dude that is supposed to be like a father figure that she "provokes" men. The dev said women should act like slaves if they don't want to get raped. As in, it was unfortunate, but sorry ladies, that's just how you have to behave.
Baffler:
This is part and parcel of christian religion and well within the bounds of discussion because it has such an impact on third world countries and on women in developed parts of the world as well. Even just steering clear of the abortion debate, access to birth control, sex education, and a general knowledge of one's own body, as well as the ability to get a pap smear now and then are important.
Your religion, which you profess to not believe in but feel is beneficial to society and even necessary, hurts women as an active parts of its role in the world. It promotes, as I said, a maiden/mother/whore outlook on the nature of women. There's no room for any sort of individuality or expression, you are only ever one of those things in the eyes of the faith.
