In the absence of a constructive means to actually empower women, you can assume this trend will continue.<p>I am a woman. Every single time I try to talk about what women can do to take control of their lives in a world that will never be entirely without risk, I get attacked as &quot;a rape apologist&quot; and&#x2F;or I get accused of &quot;blaming the victim.&quot;<p>As long as the world as a whole sees sex as a male prerogative and male privilege and not something a good woman would actually want, we shall have no constructive path forward. As long as women who get laid are automatically viewed as servicing a man, being taken advantage of, etc. we shall have no constructive path forward.<p>If women want equal rights and equal opportunities, they need to start taking more responsibility for their own lives and stop playing the victim card, the helpless damsel in distress and so on. They need to quit screeching about how <i>men</i> need to behave better. They need to figure out what is within their own power to act upon and put their focus there.
