victim blaming

What were you wearing?

Were you drinking?

Why were you there?

What were you thinking?

You should have known better.

This is partially your fault.

Boys will be boys.

Just keep this in the vault.

You’re a whore, you’re a slut.

Don’t ruin his reputation.

You were flirting with him,

That was his interpretation.

You asked for it.

You should have said no.

Why didn’t you run?

Why didn’t you go?

You should have fought,

Kicked him or screamed.

If you did those things

Then maybe you I’d believe.

Just cause you now regret it,

Doesn’t mean you can blame

Your slutty behavior on him

Cause you don’t want the shame.

Are you sure this happened?

You shouldn’t have been there.

These things happen at parties.

Were you on drugs my dear?

You were asking for it.

It’s not a big deal.

Why did you let it happen?

Rape is not real.
