Reply #131: The problem is [View All]

That "asking for" is a nebulous phrase: it's a conflation of "making more likely" and "rendering less reprehensible".

There are clearly certain causes of action which will render someone more likely to be raped (or robbed); that doesn't mean that those actions are a justification for rape or robbery.

If you leave a cash draw open then you are making it more likely that you will lose your money, but that doesn't mean you have any less grounds for complaint against the person who stole it.
