If the blaming of rape victims were the province of fringe groups, I would agree with you. However, blaming the victims is the common response, not the fringe response, for rape. For example, in the Steubenville case, how often did you hear the the girl in question should not have gone to the party, should not have been drinking, etc.

By "facts", are you looking for studies of this phenomena of some sort?

Basically soemthing more then you just saying that is the case. You don't ever allow others touse things they see commonly so why should you get to use that method?

Provide evidence. Research papers, studies...

Granted, I've only known two people that have been raped (thankfully) and I've heard of many others. The weird thing is, I've yet to hear about anyone actually blaming the person who got raped. I know it does happen, but for you to say that it is the "common response" I have to really wonder what the hell they're doing over in Chicago...
 
From what I can tell blaming the victim is a common response from the rapist. What do you expect a world full of rapists that empathize with their victims?

I went to Google scholar and searched on "rape victim blaming". Over 53,000 hits. Just from the first page:

Look up how news commentators respond to any well-publicized rape. One example I already mentioned was the Steubenville case. Would you like more? How many?

Metro-East St. Louis.

Women do. If, in a person's subjective opinion, you raped them, then you raped them.

Wait, what?

Let's say that I'm reading the signs of a first date incorrectly and I go in for a doorstep kiss and get denied, she can presumably, er, subjectively think that I was raping or attempting to rape her, right? She's fine to think that, whatever, but if she decided to press charges? I get what you're saying, but at what point is it absurd?

Wowzer.

At the point where someone confused "no mean no" with "rape", in your example. Has your example happened?
