That's not what he's saying is it?

It's implied if people say we're responsible for our own safety. I can only do so much to mitigate any risk. Why should I be made to feel at fault over something that someone else did wrong?

Replying to @Ixzianna @benohanlon and
The first thing I was asked: "What were you wearing?" It was literally turned back on me and made to feel as it it were my fault for being abused. We're aware of situations. We know we need to look out. We can only stop so much if someone is determined. That is not our fault.

🌹 💀 ⏳ @benohanlonReplying to @Antiloquy @Grumpy434 and 2 othersGiving responsibility to those who would do me harm doesn't sound like a good idea. Taking responsibility allows me to affect outcomes. The only person I can change is myself. Otherwise I'll be a victim. It's not a moral right/wrong argument. It's how to take control.#stocism1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -
I get it, I do. But tell me, what can I do to stop it happening as a wheelchair user, where it's illegal to carry a knife, pepper spray or a gun? What else can I do but avoid anything at night, stay in crowded areas or stay shut in at home? How can I be any more responsible?

I can list ways to min / max danger and they'll be imperfect solutions with no guranteed outcomes. But it's better than giving up responsibility. There's a trend to frame it as "not my job to keep myself safe" and that's not a useful construct. It'll put me in harms way.

Well, I disagree with the "not my job to keep myself safe", but I wish the trend of victim blaming would end too. -shrug-
