Victim blaming. Girl did nothing wrong.So much self unawareness. She should have been wary as soon as he appeared behind her.
Not victim blaming, just self preservation advice.Victim blaming.
Here's the thing: that. guy. should. not. have. been. there. doing. what. he. did.
i dont think its victim blaming. because people usually feel a presence of someone, when theyre aware of their surroundings. you know when someone usually creeps up on you,or enters your "zone" right? same thing.Victim blaming.

It's victim blaming because SHE (who is not provoking or anything) is called out, thus laying the responsibility of the guy's harmful action with her.i dont think its victim blaming. because people usually feel a presence of someone, when theyre aware of their surroundings. you know when someone usually creeps up on you,or enters your "zone" right? same thing.
dont know if this is a muzzrat,but is it safe to assume so? they dont seem to have self control or restraint while out in public anyway.
im not saying its her fault for his perversionIt's victim blaming because SHE (who is not provoking or anything) is called out, thus laying the responsibility of the guy's harmful action with her.
(Yes, people usually sense something when someone creeps up on them, but you can't blame a person for being off-guard, anyone can be distracted, which is why pickpockets still exist.)
You were not, but someone else was; laying the "responsibility" for his action with her.im not saying its her fault for his perversion
He must have had a ton of practice....
I don't believe that @Clendenon was blaming the victim. Some people don't understand that there is more than either simply blaming the victim or the perpetrator. It's possible for a victim to take some control of the situation. Check out this Google link and perhaps some of the web pages on it, if you'd like. You should find some of these interesting.It's victim blaming because SHE (who is not provoking or anything) is called out, thus laying the responsibility of the guy's harmful action with her.

I have a little more to say about this. I agreed with everything you wrote here except for the first 2 words. Actually, I also disagree with your excessive use of periods.Victim blaming. Girl did nothing wrong.

I learned about Bruno Bettelheim in an honors class at my university. The professor and all the other students in the class were all female, and I was the only male. The professor, obviously an intelligent woman, could not see Bettelheim's point.I know all about Bruno Bettelheim.
It's victim blaming as soon as you hear/read this: "she should have" or "should have not", again: that is shifting the focus from the perpetrator to the object of his harmful action, commonly called "victim". Then my answer is; NO, there was NOTHING for her either to do or not to do. The responsibility in this case lay with the wanker.
Familiar with the term "Just world fallacy", where it is assumed that only people who make mistakes will have bad things befall them..I learned about Bruno Bettelheim in an honors class at my university.

Just because a person doesn't take the best action does not mean that they are in any way responsible for someone else's behavior. "She should have" or "should have not" could be used to assign blame, but could also be used to point out what might have been a better way to deal with a situation. There are often many different ways to deal with any given situation. We do our best to make the right decision, but even if we don't, that doesn't mean that we are to blame for what someone else has done to us.
On a personal note, I am constantly analyzing how I have handle different situations in my life. I usually feel like I could have done better, but that does not mean that I'm to blame for something that someone else did.
As a woman with a strange man coming up behind her, I can only guess that it would be frightening and she didn't know what to do. Was there any legitimate reason why he would be standing there? I have no idea. People do like to blame victims - are you familiar with Just World Orientation? That doesn't necessarily mean that every observation about what the victim could have done better to protect themselves is the same as assigning blame.
