RavenSky
The Doctor's Wife
But did he say otherwise? I think that is where Loren is going. Did he say it wasn't his fault and was hers? Or did he just say she was willing?
The original article certainly made it look like a case of victim blaming. But the Washington Post article looks much more reasonable--and simply reports that he told the therapist that she was a willing participant. Someone of that age can't possibly give consent but it would be easy enough to structure things that she wouldn't have any reason to object.
The discussion is not about what you find "reasonable" about the multiple rapes of a four-year-old child.
It is about what constitutes victim-blaming. In that, it does not matter whate the setting is, the mayor was victim-blaming. He claimed she initiated it. He claimed she was a willing participant. Those claims are victim-blaming. Simple, clear, zero room for you or anyone else to deny it.
The fact that you are denying it is "rape-culture"
