Researching the "Rape Culture" of America...

I mean, don't get me wrong, i'm not generally a violent person, but i see absolutely no problem with using sickening degrees of violence against rapists.

Not my point...

My point is, that in the US...if everyone was trained in some form of martial arts...then rape would continue....only, the rapist could win, and have his way with her, despite her training. So, that's why I say it would just take longer.

It was all a joke.

But, in reality, rape still happens in Israel. I don't know the statistics, but the population is much smaller.

Yeah but wouldn't the Rapist know the Martial Art too?

i um, disagree....

summary-I'd place Krav maga up there with Muay Boran/Muay Thai, and Brazillian Jiu Jitsu in terms of real world relevance and lethality.

But if all get taught it...the agressor will still be stronger and in the end probably win....

see, as far as i know, all don't get taught it, i believe they administer psychological tests before they actually teach it to students and in any case, decide whether to teach the most lethal techniques to each student on an individual basis.

That's right. It is taught mostly to police and military officials.

Maybe you should start a thread about this, sounds interesting.

i don't really think i should do that cause i have only a basic knowledge of the theory and a few techniques. the only things i've really done are tai kwon do, Muay Thai/Muay Boran, and a few european and japanese styles of swordfighting

And if they did do that rape would hardly ever occur.

not to jump on any bandwagons but i think the under lying theme that bilb was trying to bring across is that stats dont mean anyhting to the person the crime was perpetrated against. meaning, thats like saying to a girl who was raped, "11 girls were raped this year, but last year it was 15.......sooooooooo...at least the number is lower, right?" *shrugs shoulders*

thats EXACTLY what i meant!! THANK YOU!! 😄

I was thinking different styles and such. Which are more effective.
