Blaming the Victim

Often times, not always, the victim shares some responsibility for their situations. In those times, common sense is usually what was lacking.

Careful man. There's crazy uber-fems everywhere...:shock: Although something tells me they wouldn't phase you...I'll just say it disturbed me to have some crazy lady yelling at me in front of 50 other people.

I can imagine

Not really. I've always imagined myself as a forward thinker in women's rights. You know, equal pay for equal work and all that. Very odd to know that there are some further on the spectrum that I am. I mean, imagine someone screaming at you because you're not patriotic enough. Very odd feeling huh?

So, I'm at school orientation today (okay a little rant first, transfer students should not have to go through orientation), and we have to watch this little skit on a "real life situation" and respond to it. The situation we watch is this girl getting trashed at a party, stripping while talking with this guy about sex, taking him to a room to make out, and then she gets raped.

Now, I am not saying rape is okay. No means no, the guy should go to prison. But I make one little comment about not placing yourself in a unsafe situation and this crazy uber-fem jumps all over me about how I'm "blaming the victim"

I mean, if a person goes for a walk at 2 in the morning down a dark alley in a big city, and he gets shot, that's bad, and evil, and shouldn't have happened. But maybe he should have waited until daylight to go for a stroll.

Any thoughts? Can there be any personal responsibilty for rape? Or am I a disgrace to my gender?


Ha! I've had the same exact thing happen to me on another board I belong to. I look at it like this--if you leave your home unlocked with no security system and you get robbed, it's still a crime, but if you locked the house before you left you my not have been robbed at all.
