Don't be daft Dotard. You think someone couldn't tell if they were being sexually assaulted? What goes on in your mind?? The question remains the same... what constitutes blame... and I think that's been covered quite well.
I had the discussion years ago about what blame could be apportioned for someone leaving their car unlocked on the road, and then if they left the keys in the lock. The temptation to the thief is heightened, 'tho' they are looking for an opportunity (crime already begun), and want to act on it...
It's clearly morally wrong (IMO) to tempt people to fail. The victims failure and the perpetrator's failure are two separate events.
My friends leave their house open when they're out and their car unlocked.. they're trusting people and there's not much crime in our area. In an area of high crime you'd soon learn to secure your belongings.
People that commit rape are seriously sick. It's a fact of life that you have to be aware of the possibility of attack, and avoid it. In ITM's situation she bore no blame at all.
