Subject: RE: BS: 'Some rape victims should take blame'- ??
I'm still puzzled by the assumption that somehow the guilt of a perpetrator of a crime - any crime - is somehow reduced or "shared" if the victim is seen as having acted in a way that made that crime more likely to take place.

It's disempowering for one thing, to use a modish expression.
