What I meant to covey through that analogy and my previous posts that she was in fact partly at fault if this really did happen.
The issue is that by pointing out her mistake, which wasn't criminal, and setting it against the alleged rape, which is criminal, insinuates an equivalence.
I agree that she was stupid for putting herself in that situation. But I apportion my attention in this discussion in proportion to the gravity of the mistake. Hers was simple folly; his was criminal. giving them equal time implies equal gravity, and I think that's why you're catching so much grief.
Also, I agree with what Catholic Lady said -- beating the shit out of someone for being annoying is not a normal response at all.
If pointing out her mistake insinuated an equivalence then people should have told me that like you just did rather than swarming me personal attacks with no grounds, framing me as a women hater.
I have not said or even implied that they should be given equal time. What I said and implied was that it was partly her fault, in this particular case.
I also agree with you that beating the shit out of someone for being annoying is not a normal response, I didn't mean it is, a poorly chosen example I'll admit.
