Arkansas GOPer: We'll take the country back from Obama and the minorities!

You're saying it's imprudent for women not to walk at night without an escort. I'm calling that archaic.

It is an empirical social fact in many places. I find it utterly appalling that some people react to women being raped as if the existence of rapists lurking at night is a given.

While millions of women walk or jog unescorted through even some of the worst neighborhoods in America on a daily basis the vast majority of women are not raped by masked Negros (or your boogeyman of choice) jumping out of the bushes with a gun in their hand.  Actually they are typically raped by their father, uncle, cousin, family friend, etc... who are the traditional people that would escort a young lady through the dark of night in the good ol' days.

BigSkyBob, what f'ing planet do you live on?

BigSkyBob, what f'ing planet do you live on?

Earth.

Other than your obvious errors in equating walking in broad daylight with walking at night...

Only a complete moron would read the word "daily" in that context and assume it means only when the sun is up.  If your doctor tells you to take a pill once daily do you sit patiently waiting for the sun to come up before taking it or call your doctor in a panic if the sun has set and you haven't taken your pill yet?  Are you this out of arguments?

your suggestion that stepfathers would prefer to rape their stepdaughters on the streets in front of potential witnesses...

WTF?!  You are losing it.

your assertion that I believe escorts must be male...

Usually when someone refers to a traditional escort who's primary purpose was protection for a lady traveling through a high crime neighborhood after dark the thinking was the optimal choice was a close male associate.  If you think that is weird that is more of a reflection on your thought process than anything else.

your implication I have no objection to women being raped by White men, what f'ing social reality do you live in?

Is this the way you concede debates?

Only a moron would claim that "at night" means "either in daylight or dark of night."

Well I guess it's a good thing I never said that and it's just another one of you strawmen.

I found it rather bizarre that you brought stepfathers into a discussion of women venturing out at night alone.

I never typed the word "stepfathers."  That's probably why you found it bizarre.  It was a voice in your head.

While it is unfortunately True that a large number of young women cannot reasonably trust their stepfathers, such rapes are more apt to occur at home.

I'll trust you on that.  I made no statement about the geographic location where the most rapes occur.

A close male associate may or may not in fact be the optimal choice. But, that is a giant aside. The social reality in which I live is that parents often tell their daughters when traveling to not venture out alone after dark. It is not the social reality in which I live that parents often tell their daughters when traveling to not venture out after dark unless escorted by at least one male. Most parents advice the safety in numbers theory that allows for a group of women to venture out at night.

Where I live women are free to move about as they please regardless of the time of day and they do things like go to school and work so they don't have the luxury of scurrying home at sunset.  And while I know some that have been raped I have never met one that's said it happened while they were transiting the city at night unescorted.

When you play the race card by claiming that I am believe the threat to women out alone at night is racial, you are pretty much announcing your intellectual bankruptcy.

I didn't claim it was racial.  I said you may choose your boogeyman of choice.  I freely admit I don't know what caricature you were trying to construct.  But whatever it was it did not represent the average rapist or the average rape scenario.  Even this stepfather kick you are on now is strange.

The fact of the matter is millions of women move around this country AT NIGHT in every 24 hour cycle ALONE and no harm befalls them.  And even the ones who do get raped by these boogeymen in that narrow scenario represent a minority of the rapes that occur.  Your bizarre fixation on some fantasy quick fix solution for this population while you have ignored the bulk of the problem is unsettling.
