seems like another mechanism for people to escape personal responsibility to me.

Well people always talk about victim blaming like it's a bad thing. But say you start verbally abusing a complete stranger in public and so they hit you. Yes they commited a crime by hitting you, but in a way you are also to be blamed, despite being a victim, because you initiated the whole thing.

And yes, I do think that women taking sexual encounters too far before saying no to sex is partially to blame if a guy doesn't stop. There comes a point at which things have just gone too far to say no.
