Subject: RE: BS: 'Some rape victims should take blame'- ??
to compare the crime of rape to someone steaing a car is like comparing it to someones body.
now yes if you leave the keys in the car, you are a prat. BUT if that car gets nicked then runs over a bus stop full of people in no way is the person who left the keys responsible!! just because you have tempted a thief does not mean they have to take it.

this is an unequal comparison!

you see, everyway i have thought to try and explain to people how it feels, i can only go so far. things are just things. if you buy something and you have made a mistake, even if you can't get your money back it comes no where near the betrayal and the hurt you feel when being raped and the terrified panic you feel afterwards.
if you have ever been in a serious accident, it might come close i guess although i never have been.
