Absurd.
People should take precautions to protect themselves from things. But to say they they share the blame of what someone else does them if they don't is just plain krap.
The case with the girls in the locker room. To say they are at fault for being the target of rape is ridiculous. The man attempting the rape is the only one doing anything wrong. He is at fault, by himself. Just because the door was open does not in any way justify what he tried to do, nor does it absolve him of even the tiniest fragment of blame. What you're saying is essentially along the lines of "they were asking for it", and that is a line commonly used by rapists, molestors and murderers.
This is one large reason why I can never get along with liberals. I believe those who do wrong are responsible for their actions, as opposed to liberals, who try to blame everyone but the one who committed the act... because he grew up in poverty or something.
