To me, this is the heart of the matter.
Instead of saying, "We need to protect ourselves because society encourages men to rape us and we can't blame them because of society's message to them."
We should be saying, "Why the hell is society's justice system not properly protecting women and holding men accountable for their crimes? Why can a man go to jail longer for committing a crime on this computer that costs a company millions of dollars then a man who rapes a women? Do we as a society really care more about corporations then people?
But in order for us to get to that point in society, we as individuals have got to start holding rapists personally responsible for their crimes. Regardless of society upbringing, just like every other person who commits a crime rapists know the difference between right and wrong.
If we allow them a blank check on their behaviour is it really such a surprise that the consequence they face in a court of law are so minimal?

it's not like I put myself on a platter for him!'
Bc it's not safe. Same mentality as this dumbass from the video -- there are things you don't do bc common sense tells you it's not smart. Does it make the person who attacks you any less of a scum-sucking POS? No it absolutely does not. But putting yourself in that situation puts the criminal equivalent of a 'Kick Me!' sticker on you, & if you willingly put yourself there(as the girl in the video did), that's not the attacker's fault. You gave them an opportunity & they capitalised on it.
