   This entire argument boils down to "if you don't want to get raped, don't wear short skirts in public".
That's a pretty spot-on analogy and I, for one, am impressed by the depth and nuance you've bought to this discussion.

The point of the analogy is "blaming the victim", which imho is spot-on.

But yeah, I could have chosen more tasteful and less over the top comparison. My apologies.
