I'm not claiming that people who have been victims can't have a clear and logical understanding of victim blaming. I'm saying that In This Mind doesn't. You don't have to be a victim to lose touch with reality about victim blaming, and being a victim doesn't automatically mean that you lose touch. If you think that what I'm saying is victim = lost touch with reality, then that's not correct. Thankfully, many victims pick themselves up and assess what happened realistically. There's a distinction between what I'm saying and what you think I'm saying. It's all too easy to jump to conclusions and read into people's words.
