Faux Newz: Rape Victims Have A 'Personal Responsibility' To Prevent Their Own Rape

[Cali_Democrat]

One of the co-hosts of the Fox News show "Outnumbered" said on Wednesday that women in college need to take more "personal responsibility" to protect themselves from rape.

Harris Faulkner's comments came as part of a discussion about remarks made recently by a former George Washington University president, who said women need to be "trained not to drink in excess" so they can defend themselves against rape.

"If you know that this exists on campus, and it does unfortunately all over the country. All over the world," she said. "It is what it is what it is. To put yourself in a vulnerable position and to then be, you know, drinking on top of that and not looking out, you know, it's the opposite of good sense."

1. Ohio Joe: Faux needs to start taking some personal responsibilty...

And stop blaming victims for the crimes committed against them.... And stop 'reporting' right wing bullshit as though it were news.

2. I don't know why Fox News is so anti Taliban. You'd think they'd make natural allies.

Especially with their cartoonish hatred of women, the LGBT community, minorities, and anyone else that's not a rich white man.

3. That's right because there isn't a single man can be trusted

Not to rape a vulnerable woman. Especially the men at Faux. They are all garbage. Felons. All belong in jail. Can't trust any of them to be around you without raping.

4. I'm sick and tired of the "Personal Responsibility" meme.

It's just another psyop. It was being used back in the Reagan era, though I don't remember the context, but we all now know how the Reagan lie of "trickle down" worked out.

I'd like to see some Governmental Responsibility to democracy and human citizens, and put corporations back in their rightful place as servants instead of their current status as 'super persons'.

5. As a rape survivor, may I say "Fuck You Asshole!"

And I totally mean it. I was NOT responsible for my rape, the bastard that raped me was.

That is all.
