Victim blaming is a dangerous term to stop people from addressng the real issues.  I am a beardly man and I don't walk down any dark alleys late at night; if I did  know I would still be safe, so t is not right to victim blame and point out what a dumb idea it was because it's never the vctm's fault. Also young women seem to be at TERRIBLE risk when walking alone at night, even when walkng in groups as sometimes they can abandon their group for a second, and that's just enough.
