To ask if you would think this woman is partly to blame for what happened to her? (Might be triggering for some people)

This has being playing on my mind all day and I just need to get this out so please bear with me and try not to be too harsh.

A young woman goes out clubbing one night with her friends. She dresses up for her night out - skimpy dress, does her makeup, puts on some high heeled shoes, etc. She ends up getting very drunk and ends up getting separated from her friends.

So she is alone, very drunk and clearly not thinking straight. She decides to walk home alone. Unfortunately on her way home she ends up being raped.

Would you say that she is partly responsible for what happened to her and accept some of the blame?

Nope. Not to blame at all. All responsibility lies squarely with the rapist.

Meant to say should she accept some of the blame

The only person to blame is the rapist who took advantage of her. No ifs, no buts.

Of course not, not one person here would think she is in any way responsible.

Was it you?

No.The rapist is to blame.

Absolutely no

The only person to blame is the rapist

No I wouldn't. The only person to blame for any rape is the rapist.

NO

No. She is definitely not "partly responsible". How ridiculous

But if she wasn't drunk and decided to walk home alone it wouldn't have happened. Nobody forced her to get drunk or walk home alone. Those were all her decisions.

Absolutely not. The rapist is 100 percent to blame.

Anyone who thinks she is remotely to blame is VVVVVU. Someone who is raped is NEVER to blame to any extent at all.

What? No of course not. Rapist to blame 109%

Why are you asking this OP?

The only person at fault is the rapist. Anyone who thinks differently is a vile rape apologist and past of the massive problem of rape culture imo.

But if she wasn't drunk and decided to walk home alone it wouldn't have happened. Nobody forced her to get drunk or walk home alone. Those were all her decisions.

And all decisions she is entitled to make without being raped.

No.
Of course not.

If I own a nice laptop, am I partly responsible for getting burgled?

This is a rapist problem. Not a woman got drunk problem.

No blame.

She could have been wearing trousers and still got raped.
She could have been sober and still got raped.

The person to blame for a rape is the rapist.

not in any way, shape or form is she to blame. it doesn't matter if she was lying in the street with a sign saying 'please rape me' it still isn't her fault.

Fucking sick of these victim blaming threads now.

I'm asking because I've been thinking about this all day. Those judges comments and the victims comments have made me think about this again.

If she got drunk and walked home alone, without the rapist being there, she'd have been absolutely fine. It's a sad existence when women can't walk around the streets without being raped. It is SOLELY the rapist's responsibility.

The woman is in no way to blame - she is not responsible for the actions of the rapist.

Nice victim blaming, OP. Is it still her fault if she gets myrdered?
