"What we are advocating is like saying someone who smokes deserves lung cancer. They know the risks and still take it."
I disagree Mauvepink.
They are different as follows.
Smoking cigarettes causes cancer.
Wearing tarty clotthes/getting drunk/agreeing to or offering to share a private drink with someone do not cause rape.
Rapists cause rape.
The analogy is false.
