Sorry if someone has already posted this already, but I just saw this: This

I think it has summed it up perfectly.

I think its a very poignant message what ever way you look at it, and I do think its a very effective message.

If other crimes or things people might be a victim of were treated the same way as rape (and how feminists would react):

Fire safety officer: "Remember, always test your smoke alarm once a month and change the battery once a year"

Feminist: "Shut up! You're victim blaming people who are victims of house fires!!!"

Police officer: "Always close and lock your doors and windows when you leave the house and keep valuables in your car out of sight from anyone who can see in"

Feminist: "Shut up! You're victim blaming people who are victims of robbery!!! We need to stop people like you giving advice and instead we should put up lots of posters telling men not to break into houses!"

Friend of feminist: "This market we're going to has a bad reputation for pickpockets, so keep an eye on your valuables"

Feminsit: "You're victim blaming everyone who has ever been pick-pocketed! Instead of victim-blaming you should instead be telling men not to pick-pocket!!!"

As an example of how society treats rape victims, it's extraordinarily accurate. Plenty of evidence on various threads on MN right now.

Yes, I have that in my 'things to post when people are being utter twats' folder on my desktop. It's what helped DH to finally 'get' the victim blaming that goes on.
