I wasn't intended to compare ANY woman raped to other crimes or offenses. I was comparing the responsibility we have to protect ourselves in all situations and when we allow ourselves to get to a point where we cannot do that, I believe we are responsible in part for what may happen. This isn't 'broad brush across the board' of course because I realize situations vary. As a woman, I do what I can to keep myself protected from anything bad that may happen to me.

I don't flash money around. I don't drink to the point of being inebriated. I don't use drugs. I don't disclose my location online and when I'll be leaving town. I don't walk in dark places alone. I don't meet strangers alone. I don't take meds from people I don't trust with my life.

Now, this doesn't mean nothing bad will ever happen to me, however, if I make myself vulnerable through my own actions, I believe I'm somewhat responsible for what happens because I put myself in that situation!

Also realize that what I'm posting is my opinion which I also live by. You may not agree and that's your right but living by what I believe doesn't make me disgraceful and I'm sorry you feel that way.
