I'm all for multiculturalism, but jesus fucking christ.
I thought we got past the whole "she was asking for it" shit.
a professor of social anthropology at the University of Oslo (who was described as having "lived for many years in Muslim countries") as saying that "Norwegian women must take their share of responsibility for these rapes" because Muslim men found their manner of dress provocative. One reason for the high number of rapes by Muslims, explained the professor, was that in their native countries "rape is scarcely punished," since Muslims "believe that it is women who are responsible for rape." The professor's conclusion was not that Muslim men living in the West needed to adjust to Western norms, but the exact opposite: "Norwegian women must realize that we live in a multicultural society and adapt themselves to it."

When I was attacked by a stranger on the street, I was wearing a long skirt, which my grandma layed the blame of the attack on, so she bought me a bunch of pants so men wouldnt be so tempted to molest me in the middle of the street.
