To: exist
But a 31 year old woman at a bar surely was planning to go home with somebody. I’m not saying that absolves him of criminal behavior, it does not. It should not. But she shouldn’t feel as bad.

That's the stupidest statement I have ever read on FR.

This is a heavily contested category, but I must agree the comment in question is a serious contender.

In (very) partial defense of exist, there are bars and bars. A woman alone at some bars is probably indeed there to get laid. But even in such a case this is not even close to being a valid defense for assault and rape.

Sometimes you wish the jury had the option to vote to form a firing squad.
