Victim-blaming is wrong. It helps nothing. It solves nothing. It is not the victim's "responsibility". Sex offenders and sexual predators are criminals. Rape is bad, sexual assault and groping are bad, and women are people.

It is 2017-coming-on-2018, and all of these are still up for discussion. They are not universally accepted, despite common sense, as truths. They are undermined as "topics" and are widely considered "controversial" issues. This is how deeply ingrained misogyny is in our society and culture.

We can do better. We must.
