No one is blaming the girl, just showing what pattern it more closely resembles.

And it divorces itself from the reality of this group. Girls were taught to avoid boys as they were "snakes" (so says Warren Jeffs, their prophet). No dating, flirting or kissing was permitted before marriage. Marriages were determined by Jeffs.

So the "pattern it more closely resembles" has no analogy or parallel within this cult.

You are using deductive reasoning - if A is true and B contradicts A, then B can't be true. I am saying that A is a generalization that B may not support. I am interested in getting at the truth behind the generalizations. I want to see facts, evidence of prosecutable crimes, and then see those crimes prosecuted.
