> Trying to put the focus on the victim's actions and not the criminal's actions is called, "blaming the victim"
That's exactly what you're doing here - shifting the focus of debate to be about the victim's actions and not that of the perpetrator:
> From your perspective it may reflexively seem that women carry zero responsibility for other people's actions in the example you give. Yet at the same time a woman most certainly has a responsibility to herself, her future self who would have to live with the trauma...the many types of trauma...for knowingly going to an environment expected to harbor severe threats from other people.
I think you'd probably agree that regardless of the actions of the victim, the perpetrator of the crime owns most or all of the blame. Right? To be clear, there's no scenario where you think the victim deserves most of the blame and not the attacker, right?
If all that is true, why die on this hill? Why are you making this conversation about how women choose to dress? Unless it's not true. You tell me.
