Conclusion:
Don't perpetuate a culture that tells you that you have no control over or responsibility for your actions. You can, too, help yourself.

If you agree, re-post it. It's that important.

Note:
This goes for any gendered rape, male on female or female on male or female on female or FTM on MTF or non gendered to dual gendered and so on and so forth....

It seems that we haven’t made much progress towards equal rights for women afterall. This type of thinking sadly supports the abysmal conviction rate for rape prosecutions at jury even while laws on rape have been tightened.

Truly disgraceful.
