256. Anyone who blames the victim for being victimized probably meets the criteria of being an asshole

Tue Dec 17, 2013, 01:09 PM

Dec 2013

Yet you have those who want to claim that providing information as to where the risk lies and how to mitigate it forces all the responsibility of rape prevention on the victims, which is ridiculous. Furthermore promoting this ridiculous idea has the effect of discouraging entities like colleges from providing this information to those who stand to benefit from it the most. I'm pretty sure that probably meets the criteria of being an asshole as well.

You are absolutely correct. We should be telling people who are most likely to be at risk how to mitigate that risk. Part of that includes giving them information on the profile of those most likely to rape and what their tactics are. That doesn't mean people shouldn't be able to do whatever they want. When you step out your door, you accept all kinds of risk. Knowing what that risk is and how to mitigate it is helpful. It doesn't mean you should never step foot outside your door, nor does it mean if you chose to do so that whatever bad thing which may happen as a result is your fault.
