Fortunato:

I don't think it's a question of blame - if rioting, for example, is triggered by a concert, people are still responsible for their own actions, and it's the rioters that are at fault.

I think it's a question of wisdom, and of knowing possible/likely outcomes and choosing your actions accordingly.

For example, I don't think that it's possible by definition for a woman to be "asking for" rape. Rape is always the rapist's fault, not the victim's. However... since I know that a woman walking alone at night is more likely to be assaulted than a woman with companions, I try to keep the walking alone at night to a minimum, to improve my odds. I'm not trying to avoid responsibility for rape, I'm trying to avoid rape.

Do you see what I'm getting at?
