on rape (and the 21st century justification of)

...it's their own fault, apparently...

...especially if they're wearing revealing clothes...

...and are "flirty"...

Amnesty International recently commissioned a report on attitudes in the UK towards rape victims

"sympathy", surely, is a word that should spring to mind

but no, one in three blame the (female) victims

you see, apparently if you're flirty and wearing revealing clothes, you're asking to be violated

oh, and if you're "known to have had a lot of sexual partners", you're partly responsible too

that's what 15% said

8% said this made you "totally responsible"

if you're drunk, 5% of women feel it's completely your own fault

3% of men do

maybe this is why an estimated 85% of rapes in england go unreported every year

that comes to around 70,000 women

because if you've had a lot of sexual partners, you're flirtatious, you dress provocatively and enjoy a few drinks on a friday night... well, what do you expect?

sympathy?
