In addition,

It is of utmost importance that rape victims do not add to their already considerable trauma by believing for one second that it was their fault.

Imagine that someone you trust rapes you out of the blue, and then you are told "it was your own fault".

Being that low you might well be tempted to believe it.

You might wonder how you didn't see that your attacker was the way they are. You might blame yourself for it.

But in fact, we live once and we have the right to be free in our hearts and minds and we should not skulk around in the shadows shrouded in grey and trusting noone in case, as a result of being "irresponsible" we cause ourselves to be attacked by a man who is simply acting out his natural male animal programming.

No! You enjoy your life, you assert your right to express yourself how you will, and society evolves to protect you over and above the criminals that want to see you subjugated and humiliated.

Instead of saying "well you have to accept responsibility" society says "we will not tolerate violence".

I don't know what else to add.

I keep being reminded that we still have a long way to go.
