"This conflation allows him to sidestep a hard truth: rape exists as a risk for women because there are men who are rapists. That is the cause of rape—it has absolutely nothing to do with a woman's actions in any case whatsoever. A woman cannot ask to be raped, cannot invite it, cannot, in fact, do anything whatsoever to effect a risk of being raped." - well not really. I mean you could stay inside for ever and ever and never go out, or let anyone in, and have an electro-force-field type thing around you. Seriously though, you can lessen your risk factors, just as you can reduce the risk of you being murdered, but you aren't ever responsible for it happening. Even if you walk down the dodgiest of dodgy lanes nakid, still aint your fault, although by being in that dodgy area you have increased your risk. So are you responsibly for that?
