Victim Blaming?

[Arkilogue]

And this is why I say something:

In one awful high-profile case after another—the U.S. Naval Academy; Steubenville, Ohio; now the allegations in Maryville, Mo.—we read about a young woman, sometimes only a girl, who goes to a party and ends up being raped. As soon as the school year begins, so do reports of female students sexually assaulted by their male classmates. A common denominator in these cases is alcohol, often copious amounts, enough to render the young woman incapacitated. But a misplaced fear of blaming the victim has made it somehow unacceptable to warn inexperienced young women that when they get wasted, they are putting themselves in potential peril.


And then we have this: http://www.xojane.com/issues/victim-blam...pe-alcohol

The latest controversy over a victim-blaming column comes courtesy of “The Daily Campus,” put out by Southern Methodist University. The column’s author, Kirby Wiley, asserts that: “What is the common theme in the majority of sexual assault or rape cases on college campuses? Alcohol abuse...The best way for women to prevent these assaults from happening to them is to never drink so much that they cannot control themselves or remember what happened the next day. If women quit putting themselves in situations where they appear vulnerable, it will be much less likely for men to try and take advantage of them.”

I feel like I say this 100 times a week, but here it is again anyway: the only people responsible for rape are rapists. The solution to rape involves getting people to stop raping people, and that responsibility lies solely on the people who think it is acceptable to rape. And clearly we need to educate people about what rape is, and how they are complicit in it.

Good luck with forcing others to change and care who are breaking the law in the first place and couldn't care less.

Germany and Sweden have pretty much given up on that. Oh wait strike that, they expect all women to change behavior with government officials telling women to wear less revealing clothes even suggesting they wear a burqa, put on a bracelet that says "don't touch me" (I guess this is educating the rapist?) and wear sneakers to be able to run away from would-be rapists.

Insanity.

Pray to God that if Clinton wins she won't become America's Angela Merkel because if a similar "migrant crisis" is unleashed over here, women will be thrown under the bus and be drown out by the self congratulatory suicide of "cultural diversity."
