Rape is never caused by someone’s clothes, alcohol, flirting, or being alone.
It happens because someone chooses to violate another person’s boundaries and consent.
The blame belongs to the rapist—not the victim.
@meritforsadness sadly we live in a society where women are blamed rather than holding the men accountable. “she shouldn’t have been drinking” adds to that victim blaming mentality. Her drinking does not make her responsible for what someone else chose to do to her.
