(27,985 posts)It is not Ms. Ritters or Ms. Dunsts responsibility to protect their own property from theft by not creating said property or only storing it in a specific place any more than its any womans responsibility to dress a certain way, travel in groups, wear special nail polish, or what-have-you to lessen the chance that someone will attempt to assault them. As is often the case when we discuss crimes of this nature against women, we have it backwards. It is not on the (usually, but not always, female) victim to take enough measures to protect herself but rather on the (usually, but not always, male) victimizer to choose not to commit said crime. That notion was lost on the Disney Channel back in 2007. They treated Vanessa Hudgens like a sinful child after personal nudes were leaked and stated that Vanessa has apologized for what was obviously a lapse in judgment. We hope shes learned a valuable lesson.
