So Now...

...it's not just a small proportion of people who blame rape victims.

As the survey says, more than half the country's at it.

It depresses me less that this attitude exists than the fact that if you look at some of the numbers (and some of the comments on the article by victims and relations thereof), people who actually blame the perpetrator are in a very significant minority indeed.

I hate my country sometimes.

I was going to post that link in my own LJ this morning but could not find the words to describe it.

I'm not sure it really needs any. It sort of speaks for itself...in some kind of disturbingly calm, googly-eyed serial-killer sort of voice.

People as a collective noun deserve a kicking.
