Who should be blamed between the rapist and the raped?

Question

The answer to the question sounds obvious.  But wait and hear this. 

A woman ran from a house crying that her husband was almost killing her.  People sympanthised with her and so angry went to find the uncouth man.  They wanted to teach him a lesson for molesting his wife.  When they reached the house,  they were shocked at the sorry state the man was in.  He had bruises and blood everywhere.  He could barely walk.  The woman said she did it in self defence. 

Women are cunning! 

Answer 1

It doesn't matter! Rape is always the fault of the rapist, period. There clearly needs to be an investigation of the events because nobody was there but the accuser and accused, however just because a rape victim harms the rapist in the course of trying to escape him it doesn't mean the rape isn't STILL his fault. NO means NO, even if its a boyfriend and girlfriend, husband and wife, 2 friends, a wife and a wife, a husband, and a husband and it doesn't matter which party is the culprit male or female, NO is NO and if you don't take no for an answer its rape, period. Now, me being a martial artist, I am required by law to use just enough self-defense to get away and make the person cease their attack because I've been trained as a 2nd-degree black belt in techniques that can do serious damage to someone. However, I am allowed to do enough to someone to get them off me and keep them off. You don't get to penalize the victim for doing what they had to do to escape an attacker. The only thing is, is did they go overkill and continue their assault once the attacker ceased attacking, then it becomes assault at that point. Self-defense is allowed until you stop the attacker and get away without them attacking more. Just because he's a hot mess doesn't mean she did something wrong! He should have taken no for an answer if he didn't want to face the consequences of someone defending themselves against bodily harm, which rape is 100% that. Period!

Your answer is a great one.  I like it.  Rape is rape and should be condemned in the highest possible terms.

Well I must say in some circumstances it always the fault of the raped because the way some girls dress will always put them in problems like that.

Answer 2

Well the story is a very sad one but I can't conclud or judge because I don't really know the reason she behaved like that with her husband but I know she has a reason for doing such.

Answer 3

The rapists obviously. I am sorry but that question really didn't sound very good at all.

Based on the case-study you gave. I'd still say rapists but we don't know who the offender is here. It would very well be the woman who's lying. It could as well be the man and indeed, the woman defended herself as she must. 

I know that women aren't always the victims. Sometimes they plan things out too but that is NOT the case we are talking about here. In an actual rape scenario where the investigations are clear, the rapists, no matter in how sorry state, is at fault and deserves punishment by law.

Answer 4

Lets begin by reminding ourselves that rape is an immoral, rotten behavior in the society and in the law. It does completely matter what the exact trigger to doing it. It is not right and its illegal. anyone who commits such an act should face the FULL WRATH OF THE LAW. When it reaches a point at which we will start diverting the fault to someone who has been humiliated, embarrassed and traumatized, it like camouflaging an evil act

Answer 5

The rapist is solely responsible for committing the crime of rape. Rape is a violent and traumatic act that involves non-consensual sexual contact, and it is always the fault of the perpetrator, not the victim. It is never the victim's fault for being raped, regardless of any circumstances or actions leading up to the assault. It is important to hold the rapist accountable for their actions and to provide support and resources for survivors of sexual assault. Blaming the victim can further traumatize and stigmatize them and perpetuate harmful attitudes towards sexual violence.

Answer 6

No one should be blamed in a situation like this. Domestic violence is never acceptable and it is important to support those who are affected. It is also important to remember that everyone has the right to defend themselves in a dangerous situation. However, it is also important to seek professional help and support if you are in an abusive relationship.
