“Yes the rapist is at fault, but also women need to be blamed for having the audacity to walk alone at night. Some of us men just can’t help ourselves, and women need to change their behavior of not walking around without a male babysitter instead of men changing their behavior by not raping. She should be held accountable because of this, but not punished. “
So how exactly does the author propose they hold this accountability…? Just a little bit of rape?
Also I love how for his 2nd point he literally just says “No no no, this was taken out of context. He actually meant to say [states literally verbatim what he said]” lol
I assume it's just accountability for stupidity, or some such nonsense. There are situations in which victims of various crimes can be accused of making poor decisions that put them at risk. That doesn't make his argument right, of course, as they're never at fault and should never be blamed. However, this entire argument ignores the realities of how/where/by whom rape is most often committed.
