Watching other women repackage victim blaming tactics and try to rebrand it as “just being safe” is crazy and then being mad when other women call out their bs is even weirder

I don’t think it’s right to victim blame but I don’t think giving suggestions in general to be safe is the same thing. Like the same way if someone spikes ur drink they are in the wrong 100% but u cannot control other people. Better to keep ur drink covered and monitored. Being the victim isn’t ur fault but no harm taking precautions

would’ve been the victim somehow is the one at fault for not doing enough to guarantee their safety. Or that if you’re going out alone (the context of the post I mentioned because the woman was on a solo trip) that you should expect to be in a bad situation because why would you as a woman go out by yourself? Also I’m so sorry for all the comments 😭

Ya no I understand that thats y I made the distinction that when someone is the victim like they actually had the spiked drink I don’t think it’s appropriate to then say u should have done this or that

My comment was more about like sometimes my friends parents tell them preventative measures that I agree with but they take it as victim blaming and saying men shouldn’t act this way. But I personally feel that ya they shouldn’t but they do so there is no harm taking safety measures

And like obviously everyone should have the right to chose what they do so u don’t have to listen but u also don’t have to get so angry or take it personally. Like I feel it’s coming from a place of love
