You can do everything “right” and be assaulted. There’s NO behavior, NO clothes, NO location and NO level of inebriation that causes rape. RAPISTS CAUSE RAPE. Full stop. This victim blaming crap only makes excuses for rapists. Just no.

And those who claim not to understand consent, suddenly seem to understand it just fine when we're talking about inserting something into their bodies without their consent.

Typically though things are framed to direct blame at the victim. "What was she wearing?" "Where was she?" I'd like to see this messaging changed to direct blame onto the rapist.

And it’s the one crime where the victim’s actions are made front and center. Poor analogy, but when a person is robbed of their wallet or watch, the cops or others don’t react with “why were you walking alone?” Or “were you displaying the watch in some way?”

It's victim blaming & it's done to protect men. Women are not given the presumption of innocence because men will always fault us for not allowing them access to our bodies.

Exactly. If your wallet is stolen or your house broken into, no one blames you, they blame the perpetrator. Only in the case of rape do people blame the victim….

There is something in human nature that causes victim blaming.

It’s just most offensive in the crime of rape.

And you’re 100% correct. It needs to stop.

Anytime a victim is being blamed for their abuse, it's horrific. I don't know that it's human nature so much as cultural, and the U.S. has honed blaming certain victims for the crimes perpetrated against them, into a insidious perfection.
