Yep. Well, it's more of that mentality wherein people shun personal responsibility whenever possible. My folks always let me know: if you get into a fix because you were doing something stupid, you are on your own. And I heeded their warning well.
Look, if I go to a black bar and make loud racist comments and get beat up, absolutely nobody will claim that I bore no share of responsibility for what happened.
Wome who behave equally stupidly and get raped are defended with great tenacity.
For what it's worth, I'm with you.
Personally, I'm sick of the "no woman deserves to be raped for any reason, under any circumstances" preface that every columnist, including the above columnist, feels the need to begin their thoughts with.
It comes off sounding about as sincere as Seinfeld's "not that there's anything wrong with that...."
When some pig goes to a strange house full of drinking, partying men to strip for money (and whatever else) and something goes wrong (gee....who'd a thunk?), that's not the same thing as some innocent woman strolling down the street and getting jumped.
Seems like a few people are having some difficulty making that distinction.
You know.... rape is rape is rape....
Horse manure.
