Any woman who gets raped was asking for it, dressed for it, encouraged it, wanted it.

1. It's hardly new

I was raised a Catholic. Until the middle of 7th grade, I went to a catholic school. There, discussion about sex were limited. We were advised that if a man tried to have 'relations' with us, we should try to make him kill us. That's so we could go straight to heaven.

It wasn't until high school, when I was getting my religious instruction in evening classes, that all was made clear. If a man committed rape, it was certainly a sin. A mortal sin, even. But to be raped was two sins - sex outside of marriage, and tempting a man into mortal sin. The teacher argued that a man would incapable of raping a woman who had not enticed him.

I don't believe any of the girls in that class ever came back.

I'd kind of hoped that we'd grow out of this, but I guess I was wrong.
