> [@GreysonCarlisle](#): > > I again admit to being wrong for my criticism, if that helps any. On the plain face of it, it does look like a warning for making an argument on a thorny topic. Viewed through the lens of his past posts, though, things start to look more and more nightmarish. I admit that I wasn’t sure how this thread was going to go. Your candid about face was refreshing. 🙂 I assume you’re no longer challenging the suspension? 😛 ---

> [@Banquet\_Bear](#): > > …“perfectly valid debates” don’t have a place in General Questions. The claim “it is a simple fact that the woman can reduce her chances of being assaulted significantly by changing her behavior” is not a “simple fact.” Of course it is. If a woman just stayed at home, locked in her bedroom wearing a burka, it would significantly lower her chances of being assaulted. ---

Sure. No women who were locked in their bedroom wearing a burka have ever been assaulted. Women who don’t do that have. QED ---

Cite the statistics so we can compare the figures, and quantify the degree of risk, and how much lower the chances of being assaulted are? Would a woman who lives in a country where the burka is the norm be at less risk or at more risk of being assaulted locked in her bedroom with her husband than a woman in Alabama walking down the street? > [@](#): > > QED Your response was not a “mathematical proof”, and your proof is not complete. If this were in General Questions your response would be challenged. As we are in ATMB: the appropriate thing for me to do is simply stop responding to this hijack. ---
