I posted this in another thread but I want /b/ to have a logical response to feminist and new age types that claim that victim blaming is wrong. There is absolutely nothing wrong with victim blaming. This is a concept that the media has confused and perverted. Common sense would tell us that there is a huge difference between a woman who is alone in her house eating dinner when someone breaks in and rapes and kills her, then a white woman who decides to hitchhike across the middle east relying on the kindness of strangers when surprise, she gets raped and killed. Did either of these women deserved to be raped? No. Is one more responsible for her own rape than the other? Yes. One is an innocent victim and one is a complete fucking idiot whose actions put her in harms way. It is ok for us to blame her for being an idiot. What is not ok is for the law to blame her for being an idiot. Victim blaming is a legal concept. The man who raped and killed the idiot deserves the same sentence as the man who raped and killed the non idiot. Somehow through bad reporting and stupid people parroting what they hear in the media this has turning into, it is never ok to blame a victim. It is and should be perfectly fine for us to say as a society that the fucking idiot who decided to hitchhike her way across the middle east is partially to blame for her own fate . That she put herself in a situation where it was almost inevitable that she would be raped and killed. However, in the eyes of the law there should be no difference between raping an idiot or raping a genius. Feel free to copy and past this wherever needed and maybe we can put and end to this feminist mantra.
