Outrage as Fox News host Dana Perino says female victims of domestic violence 'should make better decisions'

It's a double standard. If the genders were reversed and it was men being psychologically, emotionally or physically abused by women, it would be their fault for being doormats or for not being man enough to do something about it; and it would probably be seen it as a laughing matter. But women, even the ones who knowingly choose to date men who aren't good people, good husbands or good fathers(whether it's because they are attracted to those qualities or because they choose to be dependent), are depicted as never really having any kind of dominion over their own lives either.

Right... but when some psycho wife castrates her husband for cheating on her and women simper about how, "he shoulda kept it in his pants!" then it's ok to blame the victim.

Fuckin tards.

Yeah, how dare women take any responsibility for what happens to them...

I watched the 21 second video there.

Somehow I don't think that guy's suggestion of giving young women firearms to carry at night would be a good idea.

Some of the comments came off as kind of disturbingly ignorant.

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that this was a really idiotic thing to say? I see a lot of people saying "well men are victim blamed all the time" and that is an unhelpful attitude right now.

Our response to this should not be "why should they not be victim blamed" but rather "victim blaming is wrong."
