In reply to the discussion: Pam Geller lashes out at critics: You’re saying the ‘pretty girl caused her own rape’ [View all]MellowDem
(5,018 posts)It doesn't matter how deliberately she was provoking someone, it was done in a completely nonviolent, legal manner, and all you are doing is justifying the attack on her by placing the blame on her.
The comparison isn't Geller to a rape victim, it's rape apologists to terrorist apologists, and many on here are uncomfortably mimicking the same line of reasoning over and over.
"But she was naked walking through a room full of guys, she was pointedly deliberately provoking that guy. She has some responibility as well". Nope. Fucking nope. Do you get if yet? Fuck, it's a little frustrating, but I don't really give a shit what a person finds "incredibly provocative" or if the person targeted was hoping for some sort of response, if violence is NEVER an excuse, they CANNOT be blamed.
You ARE excusing violence if you deem an action "provacitive" enough, that's is majorly FUCKED.
