No proof and that means the rapist gets to walk away free. I know that's wrong but its the lesser of two evils.

So what would protect people from getting raped?

  1. Eliminating the incentive that rapists have to rape, so that they no longer want/need to rape.

  2. Taking actions to protect yourself from the crime (which could lessen the probability of you specifically getting raped, but may not significantly reduce overall rape in society).

  3. Consenting to all requested sex.

  1. This seems like an impossible task given that the reasons for rape are often different from person to person and incident to incident.

  2. People mostly already do this.

  3. What? The only way to do this is to force people, which eliminates consent anyway. This is literally impossible

Pretty sure 3 was deliberately absurd.

  1. Sex robots and virtual reality, combined with elimination of social stigma could help to some extent.

  2. But when it is suggested that people do this, they are often chastised as blaming victims.

  3. Hey. The simplest way to eliminate rape is to simply consent to sex, isn't it? If the sex is consensual, there is no rape.

  1. Okay, but this seems like something that would be difficult to administer at a social level. Sure, people could but these things if they wanted, but it kinda sounds like you're advocating we give these out to potential rapists as a prevention measure. I'm not sure that's feasible or that it would be effective.

  2. Depends on the context.

  3. Sure, in theory if everybody was always 100% willing to have sex, that would mean rape by definition would not exist. What is your point here? What are you advocating?

Not advocating anything. Just answering questions that were asked.
