Quote:It doesn't matter one tiny iota what you are doing. Rape survivors and victims have NO responsibility in their rape. You are an idiot for saying so and obviously have not had the misfortune of dealing with rape.
Whoa there...first of all, my statement was not even about rape specifically. It was a general opinion that could be related to anything in life.
Second of all, I have had the misfortune of dealing with rape on several occassions throughout my life, and my opinions do not give me any less sympathy for those who are raped.
Cool down your sensors and think carefully about my statement. I still feel that it is a valid one.
Imagine a woman who is unexpectedly kidnapped and raped by a man. In this particular situation the woman never considered the possibility of being raped when she woke up and got dressed that morning. Therefore my statement does not, in any way, apply to this rape.
Now consider a situation where a woman hears about a man who is a rapist who has been living out in a shack in a woods. Her parents tell her not to go there because it's dangerous. She takes off all her clothes, runs to the cabin and falls asleep in the grass nearby. The man rapes her. She is partially responsible because she KNEW that her actions might lead to her becoming raped.
Third and finally, even if a woman is partially responsible, this does not mean that she deserved it, or that she does not deserve just as much sympathy, or that it is any less traumatic.
