Because women are a commodity for men to consume, making rape equivalent to theft, of course of course.
Also please evaluate yourself if you truly believe that there can be no such thing as a world without rape. Certainly the drive to rape will always exist, but there could exist a world where a man once he realises his desire to commit a rape seeks a mental health professional instead of committing a rape, and receives the help he needs. Certainly there can be a world where greater education on what rape actually constitutes is possible, and a world where human beings look out for other human beings is certainly not out of the question.
Saying that a world where predatory outliers cant be mitigated or outright prevented is absolute idiocy.
I wasn't making rape equivalent to theft I was showing how the idea that teaching people that something is wrong and expecting that to keep everyone from doing it is fucking retarded.

Because we all know that all people that want to cause others harm will stop and think "Oh gee, I should not do that and get help" if they were educated. I'm sure Albert Fish wouldn't have eaten people if he just had a mental health professional to call.
Unless there is a one world government with good morals that can police every spot on the planet constantly there will never be a world without rape, murder, etc. People will never be perfect.
I've evaluated myself and still feel the same.
Now that doesn't mean that we as human beings shouldn't strive to reduce the amount of rape and try to eradicate it, but to believe that it can be completely eradicated and never happen again is foolish.
Also, I was only speaking of education when talking about predators. There are ways to mitigate the threat, but education and awareness will not change them. Education and awareness can help other people to be alert and protect their self and others, like you said, but it won't change the heart or mind of someone that doesn't operate by society's moral standard.
I think the biggest issue with people who say education on rape wouldn't be effective is they just have poor ideas of what rape really entails or how it happens most often
I'm pretty sure everyone agrees that the masked sexual assaulter holding a knife to the woman's throat is definitely a problem, but the myriad cases of men taking advantage of intoxicated women means that maybe people don't have such a great understanding of consent and rape in the first place. Not to mention it is far more likely to be someone the victim is close with that does the assault.
Teach women to be aware and to protect themselves, but also teach men more thoroughly about consent and what is and isn't acceptable.
I don't think many will go around with the masked violent rapist shtick, but fucking someone who cannot legally consent due to the level of intoxication they're at, or coercing someone who is clearly uncomfortable, etc. I'm sure many more don't even see the issue with either when potentially happening upon those situations
Definitely. I was only talking about those that actively decide to assault and forcibly rape women instead of idiots that don't understand consent. Education and spreading awareness is a good way to reach those that do not for what ever reason understand consent.
