I bicycle commute to work, there are roads I avoid because they are dangerous, I don’t go to certain clubs at night, because they have a reputation of problems, I don’t drink and drive, because its moronic, basically, i don’t put myself intentionally in situations that could be dangerous. Thats common sense.

There’s no question the guys perpetrating these crimes are sick and twisted, and there’s no reason they shouldn’t be outed and punished. You’ll get no argument from me there.

Claiming however that people can do anything they want and not have the risk of bad things happening is silly and unrealistic. We know our world is a dangerous place, and people can do horrible things.

Taking steps to minimize that is not shaming, but smart. Nail the bad actors, educate victims with common sense.
