It appears @juliaHB1's Telegraph piece is more angry about ladies with opinions than sexual violence. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@PeteyMonster no, just as I don't blame a woman for being a victim of rape.But we don't encourage our kids to go off with complete strangers

@JuliaHB1 But by suggesting a woman should "accept responsibility" because of dress or intoxication, you *do* blame them! -
@PeteyMonster so the word "blame" means exactly the same as the word "responsibility", does it? I don't think so. -
.
@JuliaHB1 If you tell a rape victim "you are responsible for being raped", that sure sounds like blame to me. -
@PeteyMonster no, telling women they have a responsibility to themselves to minimise their risk of being raped/harmed is just common sense. -
.
@JuliaHB1 Again, it turns into this sense of women being responsible for their own assault if it happens, which is incredibly harmful. -
@PeteyMonster no, it is simply a recognition of the risks women face
