Well, this explains a few things:
Narcissistic Heterosexual Men Target Their Hostility Primarily at Heterosexual Women, the Objects of Their Desires, Study Finds
ScienceDaily (July 29, 2010) — Heterosexual women bear the brunt of narcissistic heterosexual men’s hostility, while heterosexual men, gay men and lesbian women provoke a softer reaction, according to psychologist Dr. Scott Keiller from Kent State University at Tuscarawas. This is likely to be due to women’s unparalleled potential for gratifying, or frustrating, men’s narcissism, the author concludes. They are crucial players and even gatekeepers in men’s quests for sexual pleasure, patriarchal power and status.
More here. The actual study here (subscribers only).
Yes, like a lot of psych studies, it was based on a relatively small sample of college students (104 undergraduate men, to be exact). But after this post yesterday – and, you know, the entire content of this blog — it’s hard not to think that Keiller is on to something.

Are the rest of your opinions so well supported as your opinion of whether rape is prevented by ‘not dressing like a slut’? Because I have no reason to think otherwise, as you’ve provided not one tiny bit of evidence that any of your shit is true, Random Brother.
“Two things could help ensure that men are not falsely accused of rape. One, passing a law that gives the same punishment to false rape accusers as to rapists. ”
Do you know what ‘Perjury’ is, you stupid, sexist asshat? Why do you think RAPE needs a special perjury law, exactly?
@ Magpie
I’m in the U.S. The old definition where some ahole grabbed someone and forced themselves on a girl, not the new feminist inspired one where a girl is with her boyfriend of 5 years and he’s pounding away and she says stop and he gives 2 or 3 extra pumps before he stops and now he’s public enemy number one.

The Jets really need to win the Superbowl this year.
I think I’m going to need some definitions explained to me if I’m going to follow this conversation, because I’m having a hard time following what Random Brother says. it makes no sense to me using my understanding of some words – I must be misunderstanding them. so:
rape
slut
(how sluts dress)
Could you start with these, please?
sorry RB, our comments crossed 🙂
So ‘rape’ is a male stranger penetrating a female victim? What about children, men or spouses? Is there a different term you would use for those situations?
@ Rutee
You fucking imbecile, the article you linked to shows how criminal pick victims, for a variety of crimes, not exclusively rape you fucking dumbass!
Of course a criminal will pick a weak old man to rob, but they would be less likely to pick a weak old man to rape, and the fact that I have to explain that to your dim witted ass is amazing.
Secondly, you stupid, stupid person the penalty for perjury is often probation. So which is it, are you such a see you next Tuesday that you think a man who gets 5 or 10 years because some woman lied should be satisfied with his false accuser getting probation or you such a femasupremicist that you think a mans 5 years isn’t worth any jail time for the woman who screwed him over?
Feminist fairness in action.
Random Brother
Helping idiots realize they are idiots.
Why wouldn’t rapists pick their victims the same ways as other criminals?
Not a lot of self-awareness there.
Also, seriously, could someone explain “slut” and “dress like a slut”. I’m beginning to feel like I used to in maths class, when I couldn’t understand something simple, that was obvious to everyone else. The phrase has come up so often here I’m feeling frustrated that I can’t follow the discussions! 🙁
Did I ever mention I’m a slow thinker? :[
The same team also found that rapists tend to be more able than average to interpret facial cues, such as a downward gaze or a fearful expression. It’s possible this skill makes rapists especially able to spot passive, submissive women. One study even showed that rapists are more empathetic toward women than other criminals-although they have a distinct empathy gap when it comes to their own victims. A highly attuned rapist and a woman who’s oblivious to hostile body language make a dangerous combination.
Even personality plays a role. Conventional wisdom holds that women who dress provocatively draw attention and put themselves at risk of sexual assault. But studies show that it is women with passive, submissive personalities who are most likely to be raped-and that they tend to wear body-concealing clothing, such as high necklines, long pants and sleeves, and multiple layers. Predatory men can accurately identify submissive women just by their style of dress and other aspects of appearance. The hallmarks of submissive body language, such as downward gaze and slumped posture, may even be misinterpreted by rapists as flirtation. …
I believe she was referring to that part xD
Thank goodness you’re back Ami. Nobody wants a comments sidebar filled with garrulous Magpie 🙂
That’s where you’re wrong, Magpie. 🙂
Hi Johnny Pez! OK, you’re on!
Why did the koala fall out of the tree?
It was dead.
Like my new avatar? It’s a caricature of my Pop done by the cartoonist, Joliffe.
On topic: as Ami was asking, how does dressing a certain way prevent rape? Does a tracksuit over a flanelette nighty cause rape?
Or being naked?
This is a lot harder than it looked 🙁
As the actress said to the bishop
“dressed like a policeman” I can understand, or “dressed like a bikie”. “dressed like a slut” I still can’t make sense of.
What do you call a boomerang that doesn’t come back?
A stick
A sidebar full of Magpie!
. . . oooops.
@ Magpie
1. The other scenarios you mentioned are also rape.
2. Not prevent rape lessen the likelyhood of attracting unwanted attention that can lead to rape. Being put (in the attackers mind) in the slut justifying in the rapists mind that it’s okay she deserves/wants it anyway.

@ Ami
I call bullshit. Where’s the link to the study that supposedly shows that women with passive, submissive personalities are more likely to be raped? And what was their methodology. I really need to see this.
