I'm not going to play semantic games here.
This woman's complete and total lack of common sense, situational awareness, and any kind of regard for her own safety and well-being contributed directly to her rape.
At the end of the day each individual is responsible for his or her own safety and this woman took absolutely no responsibility for herself.
In South Africa women should expect that someone will attempt to rape them under any and all circumstances and should always be aware of their surroundings and considering what they can do "right now" to mitigate the tremendous risk they face.
I agree with you that it's not her "fault", but she served herself up on a silver platter.
Her attackers have been caught and I don't think that this woman's bone-jarring stupidity should serve as any kind of mitigation in respect to their crimes.
But at the end of the day she has still been gang raped and her blasé attitude is at least partly responsible for the fact that she'll have to live with that for the rest of her life.
A stupendous piece of victim blaming. Perhaps you think women should never leave the house so that they don't get raped.
Here's an idea: instead of telling women to wear certain clothes or avoid going to certain places to avoid being raped, how about telling men NOT TO ****ING RAPE WOMEN.
