The 'blaming the victim philosophy' is that of a bully. It is their way of excusing themselves from taking responsibility for their harmful actions towards others. Yup, KF is def. from the same 'shallow gene pool' of crazy as her 'pa & Da' mayor'.

Rapes are crimes of opportunity, guy sees woman and thinks can I get away with it here? Drag her away from a bus stop if she's alone, break into her apartment while she's sleeping, follow her to her door and punch her in the face while she looks for keys. Guy doesn't think "pretty , sexy girl , maybe I can convince her to have sex with me.Rape is violence. How many times to we have to say it? And what does she think the toddlers and 80 year old ggrandmothers were wearing to incite rape? Learn people learn, please.

I remember there being an article here a few months back on a PSA about date rape that blew into a full blown argument between rape and a women's clothing that then invited comparisons of women in dresses being raped with fancy cars "asking to get stolen". Like @ Colleen Westendorf said, I think Krista's post is a perfect example of why we should never associate clothes with sexual assault as it implies that if a woman was raped/sexually assaulted, her actions somehow contributed to it and makes her at least partially responsible.

When a man gets raped, nobody ever questions "well what was he wearing?", but with women, it's has become not only acceptable, but one of the first 'pertinent' questions that must be asked in order to understand 'why' she got raped: "Ohhhhhh, she was wearing a dress?", "they" say in unison, while giving each other knowing glances as if to say, "well, what did she expect"? "They" being the police officer, the detective, the politician, the comedian, the nosy neighbour down the street and so on.
