(2,434 posts)Classic Republican justification for blaming the victim. Disgusting excuses for human beings.

(11,885 posts)And claiming now people assaulted are in any way responsible for others doing this to them sounds similar to wife beaters who almost always blames the women for causing them to beat them up with. Kelly knows better than to do this now, yet still makes this absurd claim like a perp makes against his victims . So shameful coming from another woman. Victims are not guilty because someone chose them to be attacked and sexually assaulted, but the attackers are.

(15,139 posts)She comes across sounding like an idiot because she is taking her cues from an idiot. I fully expect to hear Huckabee-Sanders pontificating at her next press briefing that if women don't want to be assaulted they should dress modestly and not tempt men. If there's anything worse than a Republican man, it's a Republican woman who unthinkingly buys into their bullshit.

(34,412 posts)but we have to be responsible for men's behavior, too. So I suppose it's our fault we got robbed because we carried a purse or that we got carjacked because we drove too nice a car?
Fuck off, Kellyanne. The only reason women are sexually assaulted is because men want to assault us.

Sorry, I don't care how tearful and choked up she gets. Kelly is not credible to me.
Oh, and what about the "why did she wait so long to come out with this?" meme. Timing is pretty convenient, dontcha think?

Solly Mack
(90,776 posts)Explains a lot about her though. That she does blame herself - and not just because a lot of women wonder what they did to bring about their own assault.
I know she hopes to sound like someone who has found wisdom about the whole thing but she simply sounds sad, tragic, and all too common.

(9,074 posts)That line pisses me off to no end and the fact that she viciously defends sexual predator(s) tells me she is either lying or she needs a hell of a lot of therapy.
I'm sorry for her if she is a victim but I'm having a difficult time believing her after that statement. What in the hell do infants and children (OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER) do to warrant rape? Nothing, they do nothing to warrant it. It's a criminal act!
RAPE is against the LAW!
FFS, even animals get raped what the hell are they supposed to do? Stop winking?
