I know several women who have been raped because of something stupid they did (their own words) and they didn't report it....Opened a door, got in a car, got alone, went somewhere...whatever.

You just explained the problem. These women think they were raped because they think they did something to start it and it's their fault it happened. It's also why they don't report it. Reality is these women should be able to be naked and spread eagled in front of a topless bar and still not be expected to be raped.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
You get it!

But with rape,
The actions of the victim give validity to the crime (in societies twerked mind).
While we would come off as just plain silly if we did it with another crime
(ie, my 'stupid man wearing a Rolex in a ghetto bar' analogy).

Sadly, every one of these women, when they told the story, knew they had been raped, but thought they wouldn't be believed because of their bad judgement.
