Prevention Blaming;

Aug 18, 2010 20:29

Clearly, a woman could’ve taken steps to prevent her rape, and therefore it is her fault that the rape happened. Which in my mind is a little like saying you know, if you never took money anywhere in your wallet, no one could beat you up and take your money. Except that’s a flawed metaphor because you get the ability to not have money.

Women don’t get the ability to stop being women.

It’s still rape if she wore a short skirt, it’s still rape if he was her boyfriend, it’s still rape if she was drunk, and it’s still rape if she walked down That Alley.
