When/why/how did attitudes towards rape victims change?

Yeah. There was a post going around on FB that suggested that if there is “some guy looking at you in a creepy way” you do things like spraying him in the face with oven cleaner or using hair spray to create a mini-flamethrower. Now, I get being uncomfortable, or keeping an eye out, or even leaving, but going straight to Assault with a Deadly Weapon becuase a guy “looks creepy”
is too damn much.

Right. Like the guy who had the cops called upon him as he was sitting in his car watching kids in a playground. Turned out one of them was his kid, and he just liked to come buy and eat his lunch in his car while watching his kid. IIRC he was even arrested.

Right, Believe her, treat her as a victim, but that doesnt mean the guy should automatically spend 20 years in prison either. Believe the woman, but of course evidence must be gathered, etc.

You know of course that “recovered memories” are not only bogus, but often implanted memories.

Which is why those people should be arrested for abuse. The person now has the trauma of something that didnt really happen, and the “recoverer” is the cause of the trauma.
