If you "Imagine" that rape/assault victims would scream and fight in every case, then you don't know. Just by saying that you are admitting that you don't know what an assault victim would do. Every situation and every person is different. Please don't generalize, because that doesn't help anyone. I think we are all concerned about the OP and that comes across in every post in this thread. I think you're concerned too, but you are too focused on what they should or should not have done. It doesn't matter, because they were assaulted and they need support. There is no way to be the perfect assault victim because that doesn't exist.
I am NOT victim blaming and I disagree with you. It’s not assault when she said get a condom. That is consent. I understand that others think it’s assault. But I disagree. I said in one of my posts to her that I was NOT blaming her. I simply was pointing out how she played a role. I am not here to argue. People need to stop focusing on ME and anything I’ve said, stop targeting me in this thread and focus on and help the OP instead.
