If you’re white, walking down Martin Luther King Boulevard in your nearest city after dark, and you get mugged, the thugs are 100% responsible for their crime. However, you are also a moron for doing something unnecessarily dangerous.

If you’re female, walking down a dangerous street at the wrong time, and you get raped, the predator is 100% responsible for his crime. However, you are also a moron for doing something unnecessarily dangerous.

There are evil people in the world. We are individually responsible for doing everything reasonable to reduce the risk from their evil. That doesn’t mean women should not go to parties, but it does mean it is reckless to get blackout drunk at a party where you don’t know someone who will look out for you. Predators are individually responsible for their actions too, and I hope to see rapists behind bars for a century - but even the longest prison sentence doesn’t undo the rape. Women need to stick with others who will look after them, and they need to be sensible, and so do men although in slightly different ways.

Right.

Same with the nuts who go touring in Iran and NK. Yes, they are bastards, but exactly that reason is why one should not venture in.
