Acceptance of this sort of treatment of other people by anyone for any reason lowers the civility for EVERYONE everywhere. "Vegas got away with it--why can't I?" Truly--I can't hardly articulate how disgusting this is--and to have two supposedly pro-women posters defending it is beyond words.
It's not "blaming the victim", because there was no victim.

What I find disgusting is the idea that women are so weak and pathetic and incapable of expressing themselves that we must think and act FOR them.
