I had a very incorrect and wrong joke to make, but I decided against it. Wasn't funny enough to make up for how queasy it was gonna make me feel posting it here.
I gotta say though; any guy goes for the rape, they deserve what they get.
Regarding "women should be responsible for their own safety," I have to say: in South Africa, apparently nobody else is taking responsibility, so I'd say let 'em take their own steps! It seems like that Cooper chick is advocating relying on social and personal protections which aren't working anyway.
That's like saying we shouldn't give women umbrellas in a town with no roofs where no men are sharing their own umbrellas when it rains, because that sends the message that we think women should be responsible for their own dryness. Which, to me... yeah! That's exactly the message, yes.
