There is a big difference between saying that the way a woman dressed might be a factor in why she was raped, and saying that because she dressed in revealing clothes, she is partly to blame for what happened, and therefore the crime is "justified" or she somehow deserved it.
I'm aware of that, Adrian. I didn't mean to imply that anybody said that. However, none of you can argue that there aren't men who feel that way. Well, you could argue it, but you would be wrong.
There are people who have said that a woman is partly to blame if she dresses scantily and gets raped, though. I am pretty sure I read the thread correctly. Of course, they didn't say anything stupid like she deserved to get raped or that it was justified.
There it is. . .

Being an analogy explaining his position, I think it speaks clearly on what his position is. Partial blame. He could mean 1% for all I know, but there you have it.
