Trump recently used the accusation that Deborah Ramirez was “drunk” as an excuse for the fact that she was sexually assault. This type of reaction to people opening up about what has happened to them is all too common, and to see that the current president has made the same conclusion is sickening. This type of victim-blaming in the face of sexual assault is something that many people, including officials, have participated in and made prevalent. It should be less widely accepted, but these assaulters getting off the hook because of some far-fetched excuse has been going on for far too long.
Throughout history, sexual assault victims have not gotten justice for what has happened to them, especially when a white man is being accused. So many people accused have gotten off scott-free because of their “status” and “potential” while their victims have to deal with their trauma forever.
It’s super annoying that people complain about women “victimizing” themselves when they were the literal victim.

Trump's stupid, her being drunk makes the assault worse, because she wasn't in her right mind. - Kadar Price
ReplyDeleteAccusations like these is what makes everyhting more complicated. If you did something wrong or sexually assulted a woman, own up to it man.
