The Falklands Totally Had it Coming

I mean, did you see the way they were flirting with Argentina?

An Amnesty International poll finds that 26% of Britons think that a woman is partly (or completely) responsible for being raped if she was wearing sexy clothes, 30% think so if she'd been drinking, and 26% think that the woman is at least partially to blame if she's had multiple sex partners.

This is revolting. And not just because I like drunk and slutty girls and want to keep them from harm. This last statistic suggests that we still think that it's wrong for women to want sex. So wrong, apparently, that they deserve to be assaulted. It is mind boggling that anyone could believe that by having multiple partners a woman gives up the right to personal safety.

Saying that a woman is responsible for being raped because she's had a lot of partners is like saying that you deserve to have your house broken into because you've thrown a lot of dinner parties.

Rape is the rapist's fault. That's what the "-ist" means, people.
