I do want to clarify my comments.
Not all rape cases are the same, of course. I aim my analogy at the situations where there was a possibility of the victim was able to mitigate factors with common sense.
And who knows, even if all those common sense options are taken, something may happen.
Then there are the people who say "well should we all live in fear that we may be raped if we do anything risky?"
To that I say, working in Iraq, there is a chance I could get blown up travelling the country. I understand the risk I am taking, so I mitigate the risks as much as I can.
Which is something I believe everyone should do, men and women.
