So, are we all now just blaming it on the victim, “she should have known better, what else did she expect”?
Why is that okay in a Employee / Corporation setting? Is that also okay in a rape victim / rapist setting? Where do we draw the line now?
- balabaster 11y agoFar from blaming it on the victim, I'm pointing out that this mentality is endemic. I don't disagree with what she did in any way. I fully believe that what she did, she did for the good of all and I applaud her for doing so. What I am saying is that the suggestion that she thought there would be no retaliation is incredibly naive. That is all.
- Frondo 11y agoIt is still fair to expect there will be no illegal retaliation in the "do no evil" megacorp. And, naive or no, it is absolutely reasonable to act as though there would be none, knowing that you may receive it, so that you can draw attention to it if it happens, because it is illegal. This is, at least nominally, a rule-of-law country, and that law's been on the books for a long, long time.
