coolio

1) I think a woman can be at least partly responsible if she is drunk at the time of the attack. Nope. Using the same logic, can the attacker use their own drunkenness as an excuse?

2) I think that a woman bears some responsibility if she wore revealing clothing. What's 'revealing'? Is every tart on the front of a lads mag asking to be raped?

3) I think there should be some burden of responsibility for rape if the woman is flirting. Why should she be blamed for normal behaviour? nobody really expects someone they meet to become abusive. And if the attacker is flirting, where's the responsiblity there? Think about 'grooming' situations.

4) I think rape can be the woman's fault if she is known to have had many sexual partners. Promiscuity has nothing to do with assault. And if it was a bloke it would be celebrated rather than derided.

A lot of this about double standards and the way the media portrays women, and society's acceptance without thinking.
