its her fault if shes dressed like a whore i mean what do u even expect dressing like a slut?? then ur mad when guys try to have sex witth u?? WTF!!!

Are you seriously justifying rape because of the way women dress? Women should be able to dress however they want. If you get provoked then it's your horny problem.

If he had been done for rape then it would be all over my high school and I can guarantee everyone would say it's my own fault.

If you'd stop being such a Lolita and tempting older guys with your feminine wilds then you wouldn't get accused of it being your fault.

So it is my fault then? Am I slut for luring older men?

Exactly, but given it would have been considered statutory rape, you would be a victim and according to the opinions of this thread - it would in no way have been your fault.

I'm only teasing you. You didn't pick up on the language I was using to make it light hearted. Maybe I should have gone into more extreme detail.

Sorry bb I'm kind of wasted and just off to party whoop! We are going to smoke some sheesha.

The initial question's a no-brainer for me. It's 100% not on the victim and anyone who says otherwise is a bastard blah blah blah you all know how it goes. The way the law works in regards to minors is a bit odder though. From what I've gathered the age of consent in the US is 18 but if both the participants are between 16 and 18 neither is considered a rapist? I think the system in the UK has an age of consent of 16 but say if two 15 year olds had sex they would both be considered rapists which is just bizarre.

Yeah, over here it's something like, if a male has sex with a woman under 16 (but over 13), even if they are willing as in Vanilla's case then it's sexual assault, but if an older female sleeps with a boy under 16 then it's only indecent assault and is a lesser offence. Seems a bit bull**** to me but there we go. If two under 16 year olds have sex, I guess they might be termed rapists, but they'll not really get into any bother about it, illegal but not enforced.

On topic, its never the victims fault, obviously. Rapists are scum. However things like staying with groups of friends, not walking home alone etc will in some cases factor in to the rape "scenario" but the same can be said for avoiding trouble in general (i don't include the dressing slutty bull**** because imo rapists are looking to take advantage of situations where they feel "empowered" they don't just get a whiff of skirt and decide on the day, but maybe I'm wrong). It shouldn't be the case but, unfortunately, it is. Some comments along those lines can draw the "victim blaming" tag, but I don't really think they are.
