Lowest Common Denominator
And I mean *lowest* — in every sense of the word.
Victim blamers talk about the type of person, what they were wearing, where they were walking, what they were or weren’t doing, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum…
Truth is, there are many, many variables concerning rape victims, but they do all have one thing in common:
Being in the same room as a rapist.
Period.
