I am trying to point out that women need to accept blame for their own actions.

If a woman walks to her car in a dimly lit underground parking lot, UNESCORTED then yes she has KNOWINGLY PUT HERSELF IN THAT POSITION.

I'm not saying this excuses her rapist, nor am I saying that its her fault the rapist raped her.

I AM saying that it is her fault that she put herself into a vulnerable position.

I AM saying that women have choices and preventative methods that they can take.

I AM saying that women who choose NOT to take these steps, are knowingly putting themselves in a position where they could get raped.

But no doubt "because they're female" they're what... too stupid to accept control of their own lives? They should be able to walk around, female, and unescorted, and make poor decisions, and not have consequences?

Damn.... if I could live life without consequence... what a life THAT would be.

You're right. I didn't realize how wrong it was to walk to my car all by myself. :(

Whatever was I thinking?

Clearly, you weren't thinking.

That's my point. We don't live in an age of ignorance. Like USCAdad pointed out, this IS our reality.

Obviously you would choose to be a victim, just to uphold your "I can be everything a man can be" ideals.... you would walk to your car by yourself. You would knowingly put yourself in a vulnerable position....

Good grief, I actually had some respect for you until now.
