Kicking a man in the nuts who wants to harm you (rape or murder makes not difference), doesn't work. It only makes them more aggressive. People tried and failed.

Well, better to just stay still and let it happen, I guess

I don't think that's what they're saying, just that a different approach might be necessary rather than kicking in the balls, or that a kick in the balls might be effective only at buying you more time to implement a better resolution to the scenario.

You know, I wrote it kind as a flippant comment, not expecting anyone to pay attention (because, really, who pays attention to me?) and suddenly it's all over the place.

Anyway, I already responded to a lot of people who commented on the original post. I eventually had to mute it due to too much traffic. So if you want to see more, go look at what people were telling me over there. I don't disagree with most of it, and I think having a good discussion on the subject of this is probably a good thing.

You wrote the original "your body, my choice" comment? Where's the original comment with all the discussion you mentioned?

Edit: It's also in the original post, I just noticed. Not used to Lemmy yet. And I'm treating the first part of your post as being as flippant as I tend to be. If you meant it, please let me know so I can swat you with the clue-by-four.
