I don’t think anyone has said that if a woman is attacked or even harassed it’s their fault. What was said was that freedom doesn’t trump responsibility for ones actions. While it’s not my fault if I get robbed, it’s smart to do things to avoid situations where the odds of being robbed are heightened.

Another example, I’ve been involved with scouting for a few years now. The very first training I had to complete before I could do anything was youth protection. It was 30 minutes of telling you, don’t take photos or video in private areas like bathrooms and showers, and most importantly, never put yourself in a 1 on 1 position with a kid. Make sure there is always at least another person around. Is that because people can’t resist touching kids? No. In fact most I would say have zero desire to even do so. But keeping everything a minimum of 3 people prevents ever having a problem of someone even making a false accusation.
