My blood pressure spiked when I read that comment and I hope, by now, someone has grabbed his face between their hands & screamed directly into it to never say something so flagrantly benighted. Also, I’m gonna need an essay from him on why he hasn’t found the location of where this happened yet.

she put herself = definite victim-blaming

It sounds to me like she was saying something about how she shouldn't have been out alone so late at night and he reminded her that it's not an invitation. He's not wrong. Being it late is not a reason to be assaulted.

Yes, always a likely possibility given that's how so many of us were trained to respond to rape victims. Old dogma dies hard.

As they should. As we all should.

Indoors, at a party; outdoors, campaigning; asleep, in our own beds; awake, running for fitness; married, single, elderly, child, pregnant, unconscious, dead. There is no space a woman should occupy to be safe from rapers. According to the men who “protect” us.

“She put herself”🤨
