    I am not a fan of Hynde’s musical work, but I do know of her as a friend of John Lydon’s back in his Sex Pistol days in the 70s. She used to work at Vivienne Westwood’s old shop.

    I believe that the media are miscontruing what Hynde was saying. She was not saying that rapists are without blame. As a rape victim herself, she felt that she should’ve shown caution for her circumstance instead of facilitating such outcomes. How dare the feminists, who purport to empathise with female rape victims, attack a victim of sexual assault who was merely expressing her opinion on the matter?

    Anyone has opinions on this?

    I agree with you. The media is twisting her words to fit their feminist agenda. They will sacrifice her, and any of us, anyone at all, for their cause.

    Rape is heinous, and because it is such a wicked thing it is thought about differently than many other problems.

    If we look in general at “personal injustice”, or any situation where “another does you wrong”, then the thinking changes. In particular, the injustice itself is recognized, but things that may have been done to avoid that injustice are discussed as well.

    So when someones car gets stolen and it’s pointed out that an alarm would have helped, or that parking in that part of town is a bad idea, people can accept that as genuinely good advice to avoid getting cars stolen, since it can actually reduce the number of stolen cars. But to allow the same type of advice into the realm of debate surrounding rape, despite it being an infinitely more evil crime, is out of the question.

    I guess the main motivation to not talk about how rape can be prevented is to “shelter” victims of rape from thinking they could have done something to prevent what befell them. But if the consequence of that ends up being even one more victim, then that strategy needs to be examined.

    There was a great article by some feminist researchers about college sexual assault and rape. Basically, they showed that if you teach young women to avoid compromising situations, sexual assault drops by an astounding 50%. So ya, it really does seem like women can play a huge role in whether or not they become victims: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/12/health/college-rape-prevention-program-proves-a-rare-success.html?_r=0

    Hynde was just using common sense to evaluate and assess the experience she suffered. I find it incredible people can reproach her for that.
