Eilonnwy -
Yes I think people need to calm down and not get so emotional. Ok Eilonnwy, how am I, for example, blaming the victim? How are you getting that from what I'm saying? To recap, what I'm saying is :
- A rape involves a rapist and a victim
- The rapist is in the wrong by default, and that's unconditional
- The victim isn't in the wrong (being a bad person), but there is such a thing as foolishness
- There is a difference between being in the wrong (being a bad person), and being foolish
- When it comes to any kind of potential danger, people should, to the best of their ability and knowledge, be careful and try and minimise risk, otherwise they're foolish
- If you take care to the best of your knowledge and ability, you are not a fool, even if you do get raped, since you tried your best to minimise risk. End result : Rapist who is in the wrong & wise but unfortunate victim
- If you are aware of risk, yet you don't do anything about it, you're a fool. End result : Rapist who is in the wrong, and foolish victim
- If you don't try to minimise risk and you don't get raped, end result : Foolish and lucky potential victim
I just tried to see how I'm blaming the victim. I couldn't see it. How am I doing it?
