If you want to interpret that as "victim-blaming" in some way, you are being dense. It's not victim-blaming to go out of your way to bring your attackers to fucking justice by doing a little legwork. Christ. None of which helps the women of 20-30 years ago who are coming forward now. Yeah, it's much easier for the cops and the prosecution to build a case if you come forward right away. And on a related subject, why doesn't a woman just leave her husband if he's slapping her around? People don't always act rationally, especially when sex and/or relationships are involved. There are piles upon piles upon piles of testimonials given by women explaining why they didn't come forward to the police right away (or sometimes at all). Sometimes they didn't feel they'd be believed, sometimes they didn't want their sex life splashed all over the evening news (especially back in the day when rape was more of a social stigma for the victim than for the perpetrator), sometimes they weren't even sure that what happened was rape as opposed to just a bad sexual encounter. Would life be easier if that wasn't the case? Absolutely. But this is the world we live in and we have to play the hand we're given. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror! <cite>darkknight109 posted [p:909162704] in Making sex...
