Yes, and so fucking what? The responsibility for that lies with the people who have created the unsafe condition.

have you ever stopped to consider that you feel the way you do because people refused to sympathize with you?

Honestly, with Pam Anderson’s history, she probably thinks the way she does because she thinks it’s going to keep her safe going forward. But it won’t. Nothing will. Because it isn’t the behavior of the victim that causes rape. It’s the rapist.

In Canada, it’s also spelled with a “z” - another clue that Assange wrote it?

No

I am pretty sure she is referring to grown women who, in her mind, should know better than to go into ANYONES hotel room alone.

I just can’t sympathize with the victim.

Or Matt Lauer’s office.

This was basically Mike Tyson’s defense; “what did she expect at three AM?”

Men expect to be safe when they walk into a business meeting unless they’re doing something wildly illegal. How is a woman expecting to be safe at a business meeting “being coddled”?

To say nothing of the fact that the very nature of most industires and particularly show business means that most of what gets discussed in meetings is supposed to remain confidential until everyone has signed on the dotted line. You would have to keep your bodyguard out of earshot even if you brought one along so how…

Wait, so being able to walk into a business environment and NOT get sexually assaulted is “being coddled”? Whoa, man.

In fact it wouldn’t surprise me that it’s Weinstein’s people who started to call them rooms, knowing what regular people would assume those actresses knew this was a casting couch situation, because hotels, especially those of that caliber, call their units suites and nothing else. If the correct term was used…

Yes, not to mention that in some of the accounts I read the actresses specifically said they were made to feel safe because a professional female assistant arranged and attended the meeting, only to get up and leave in the middle of it.

Geez, lots of victim shamers and dudes giving how-not-go-get-raped advice replying to me in the greys today.

I see where you going with this, but I would argue that it’s not super helpful. Women are already policing their behavior quite a bit then get mocked for trying to be safe. Predators adapt that is what the do. If something happened it’s because the perpetrator wanted it to happen, not because the victim wasn’t smart…

Sexual assault victims do not have to be perfect for us to be angry about their treatment. And she’s doing good now.

She removed all doubt when she married Kid Rock. And when she started dating Julian Assange.

I absolutely see the logic in your reasoning and think you’re spot on about what’s going on in her head. But shit, when do we start demanding that people who lack imagination live outside of their own experiences? You’ve done about a thousand times more mental work than Pam has just in this comment, but she’s given a…

Is anybody surprised that she, Julian Assange’s prostate massager, would not blame the victims? I mean, look what one did to her man! He has to hide in a closet thru no fault of his own!
