Blame the victim mentality is so sad. Darth_Katie Send a noteboard - 04/03/2010 03:49:27 PM
It's so wrong, so unfair, so hurtful ... When are we as a society going to start blaming the actual PERPETRATORS of the crime? Maybe it's time we ought to start educating men about rape. Because most rapes aren't committed by serial rapists or some random crazy guy off the street, they're committed by people the victim knows. That's just scary. That's not right. But what can we do to fix it? I don't know.
