Absolutely. Point is whether the rape victim is foolish or not, the rape victim is the victim, and shouldn't be blamed: The rapist should be blamed.
SC nailed it perfectly:

Yep!
I think we all agree on that too, but there were some posts that just said some things I did not agree with.
"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."
