I take it from your last line that you think conservatives don't take rape seriously as a crime. Why do you believe this? I am conservative, and I certainly don't blame the victims of rape.
Is it because of the "forcible" rape brouhaha? Because it's my understanding that was just an attempt to separate the statutory cases from the ones where the victim was truly unwilling.
I'm not trying to engage in wank here. I am really interested in references to conservative policies or leaders who advocate blaming the victim in rape cases. Because I don't know anyone who thinks like this except a few ignorant lowlifes who need to be bitchslapped.
This looks like a straw man to me.
