What Kinda Person Gets Raped?

Does rape only happen to young, attractive women?

I was quite shocked that my Mother is quite happy to let my littlest sister work out how she is gonna get home after a night out, but my other younger sister(who my mum thinks is amazingly beautiful) is not allowed to do the same, as my Mum thinks someone will rape her or whatever.

Now is it just me, or is this a kinda shitty view to have? Surely anyone can be in danger of predators, not just the beautiful.

No offence to you but your Mum has a kind of warped view on things anyone can get raped, be it young, old, thin, fat, beautiful, ugly. It's not unheard of for 70 year old ladies to get raped.

And I don't think it's really fair that your Mum considers one sister to be more beautiful than the other, aren't parents supposed to be unbiased about that sort of thing?

I believe rape is really a crime of violence and aggression...and not sexual lust. In fact..the violence itself and the fear it creates... that is the real true turn on for most rapists..and often the only way they can get turned on at all. Many are impotent otherwise.
And as far as stranger on stranger rapes...I hear about as many elderly women in their 80's getting attacked as anyone else. It seems to have alot to do with opportunity and having an advantage of control....
The plainer sister is far more vulnerable because she is the one most often putting herself in harms way.
But she must realize her mother feels this way...how bad for her.

It has nothing to do with looks, but with more for control of the women. That is a shitty way as you said to view it because it could happen to anybody.

Nine month old babies have been raped (actually penetrated) as well as a 93-year-old woman (the oldest I'd heard of so far). Sexy has nothing to do with it. Some rapists even have stated that when they scope people out they look for the one who appears most vulnerable: for example (and this list is by no means exhaustive): less able to defend herself, less likely to hurt him when defending herself, out at a later hour and left to her own devices as to how to get home.

Sorry to say, but I wonder that such an attitude as your mum has is read by your sister to mean that she is less worthy--and the interviews done with such rapists as mentioned above included abilities some have to scope out those who have lower self-esteems, which aids in rapists' ability to victimise them. And I woldn't "blame" this on the girl at all--because the victim is not to blame anyway, but also because I, too, read this situation to mean that the mummy seems to have more value for the older daughter--not cool at all for any reason, but for such as superficial reason as looks into the bargain? That's scary and sad.

Rape actually happens to little boys the most. Or sometimes litte girls too, but mostly boys. Children are the most easy to rape.

I don't know about that stat, since so many rapes go unreported.

But I would agree that the victimisation of children is disgustingly high, even at 1.

It has been reported a while ago that a woman spiked a mans drink with the date rape drug ryphanol and raped him .Apparently he got laughed at at the police station.Like it says above unfortunately it can happen to anyone .Half of the crimes never get reported ie men being raped by other men cos of the stigma and shame attached to it .Its awful they should they have just as many rights as women kat xx

malemaranello | 6 July 2007 - 9:44am

It can happen to anyone, male or female, adult or child regardless of how "attractive" the victim is. It's all about control and power. Making someone feel totally inferior, humiliated and violated by removing every ounce of dignity, trust and innocence from them.

malefirewalkwithme | 7 July 2007 - 8:14pm

I really dont like the question,because it implies that it the persons own fault the she got raped. and we all know that this is TOTAL CRAP!
it ca happen to anyone,also men.

malepoliticalchris | 7 July 2007 - 10:34pm

No disrespect to you personally, Inamorata, but I personally believe a real mum treats all her children equally. Your mother's approach is selfish, nepotistic and mortifyingly shallow - and I think you should tell her so.

You cant possibly make a profile of someone who is going to get raped, its all kinds of people so just leave it.

You can however make a profile of someone who is going to perform a rape, usually rapes are performed by middle east or african trash who has a terrible view of women. Thats a fact, our statistics of rapes in Sweden proved especially people from Middle East and Northern Africa to be at the very top of the stats and still we continue to import this filth for no good reason at all. The statistics were done by The Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention and were SO clear that it got cancelled after a few years because it could be used as propaganda (god I hate my government sometimes). Three of my closest friends has been raped, I wont go into detail of it but 2 of those rapes were exceptionally brutal, all of the rapists were immigrants.

since a rapist is someone who does not see the world as we do, it can meean anyone but I think "sexy" clothes can be triggering.

@ Inamorata...Your Mother is thinking in a peculiar way. Of course, any woman, (and even men), can get raped. I don't think rapists select their victims based on beautiful facial features. Sometimes, on a dark night, a rapist will follow a woman walking in the street (with intent to rape her) without even knowing what her face looks like till he gets close up.

femalethe thing | 17 July 2007 - 5:45am

Oh yes...and PS: I think it is most unfortunate that your Mum makes it public knowledge that she thinks your younger sister is not as beautiful as your other sister. Not only is she putting your younger sister at risk of street violence etc..., but she is also giving her an inferiority complex.

It only causes endless trouble when parents compare their children like this. In my family something like that happened and I think it affected both me and my sister adversely. However, our parents never put either of us in a risky situation for rape. Your Mum needs to wake up to what is happening here. You might have to give her a bit of a nudge to get her to see it. Good Luck!

Anyone, and everyone..(age, size, appearance is not a factor) is at risk of getting raped, by persons who have no respect for life.

Rape isn't about sex, it's about power.

How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light. - Barry Lopez

Thanks for all your replies, and yes I agree that my Mum has a very add perspective about this. And although she denies it, she does obviously have a fave daughter.

Perhaps @Inamorota...you could show your mother these posts...
and let her see what people of both genders and from all over the world unanimously see eye to eye on.
Not a one shares her perspective..
