I don't think you read my entire post.
I weighed in as a rape victim, so, in part, I could say the exact same thing you just said:
Encouraging young women to be street-smart and wise and keep themselves safe
doesn't mean I'm blaming them for the rape.
^ I don't think anyone here disagrees with that.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
