What do you consider "Victim Blaming"?

[the_bob_delusion]

Is telling girls not to drink excessively or not to dress too scantily to avoid being vulnerable targets to predators/opportunist "victim blaming"?

peeteepie, I would not say Morrison is the best LNP had; actually I think he is the scariest.  He is taking the credit for the great position Australia is now re-covid, but he let the states to deal with it.  He then criticized the premiers for "too strong restrictions" but when the hardship imposed on us works, apparently it is all due to him; when it does not work that great, that is everybody else's fault, and jets of to Hawaii.  This article explains why he is dangerous.

That article's a bit of a hatchet job don't you think?

He's certainly made no secret of his 'faith'. So the tenets of that faith would certainly bear on his expected reactions to events.

If you believe being rich (and maybe repenting all the bad things you've done on your deathbed) is a pathway to heaven, then your attitudes to the poor/heathen/natural events will be different to those of people who aren't rich, or believe Pentacostal religion is not the 'one true path', or consider the Earth to be important.

How about telling men not to drink excessively amd stop running around with their shirts off.

Are men that uncivilized and have no control over them selves that they have to blame women for the way they dress, does that make men the weaker sex ???

There you go Bob

Would say some men have no self control and can be opportunistic predators taking advantage of women who are more vulnerable. Wouldn't it make sense to tell women not to put themselves in a situation where the physical and mental capacity is compromised?

Do you tell your girls not to get drunk? Would you feel comfortable if your daughter went out exposing her boobs or body in a pub? Ask yourself why

[lionrose.7]

Would you tell your sons not to rape a drunk girl !!!!!

Would you tell your sons how to behave towards women and it is wrong to mam handle them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You act like you think it is the girls fault amd this disgusts me

YOU ARE A VICTIM BLAMER

My Mother gave me a large hat Pin I used to keep in pinned to the lining in my hand bag. the only time I had to use it was on a Taxi driver, he never got his fare.

I was brought up on a Neighbourhood  where even the roughest guy protected me like a little sister

I dont see that these days.

So your think if a women shows a bit of boob a guy can molest her

Women can not hide their BOOBS, they are there sticking out, should we strap them down to control mens urges WOW just WOW Bob

I had 3 sons who I brought up to respect women and protect them if they had to.

That almost certainly reveals YOUR attitude. Why ask the question, unless you are, once again, looking for validation?

This assumes that grls are sexually abused because they are either drunk, scantilly dressed or provocative.  

This is basically untrue.

Yes, some girls are attacked because they are too drunk to 'say no' and their attacker assumes (or pretends to assume) that that means they must 'want it' but very often it  happens simply because a girl happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Rapists are not turned on by how much their victim has drunk or what she is, or isn't wearing.  All that matters to them  is that she is there and they want her.

Elephant ASSUMES

"Assumption is the mother of all F* ups" 

Actually my point is there're bad people in the world. Stay safe, stay cautious. Don't be a victim.

Nobody deserves to  be molested or harassed and there is no excuse for it. But I can see where you question goes to in one aspect. It's about safety!

So, if a young lady is scantily dressed and goes to a hotel or club where alcohol is consumed and drugs are taken then she will increase her chances of being  groped or later on attacked. Common sense.

If a young pretty boy straight man goes to a homosexual bar in shorts and a tight tee shirt, chances are he'll get bailed up in  the toilet. If a pretty boy type is jailed and doesn't cut his golden hair and find someone to look after him he'll get raped in the showers.  A lot of prison guards just let it happen.

If a guy wins big at a hotel and flashes his dough around he will increase his chances of being pick pocketed or mugged if he walks home alone.

So the answer is, think about where one is going and change behaviour of attire to suit the situation.
