Also, let's consider how often victims of this type of crime (sexual harassment or abuse) just get this exact type of response: "why weren't you more careful?"

There are a lot of numbers and studies out there that prove the perpetrators of these crimes don't get punished on near the same level as the perpetrators of other crimes because the legal system thinks the same way you do in regards to this topic, that the onus should have been on the victim, or at least more on the victim. It's nice that you believe in the law but the law isn't working. We need a cultural shift that doesn't focus so much on the victims that did nothing wrong.
Maybe don't try to be smarmy and condescending when your post relies on you being unable to understand mine. When you have any reputable statistics to show for this maybe you can attempt it as an argument.

Let's be clear as well - there is a difference between something being amoral and being inconsequential. Sending nude photos of yourself has no moral context as long as it's done between two consenting adults but it doesn't mean there won't be consequences to your actions. It seems like perhaps you don't understand the difference there.

I would never argue that legal action should be taken against the women in the TMP story who sent nudes to the accused, what he may or may not have done with them is 100% on his own shoulders, but you can't argue that they played no role in giving him the power to extort and blackmail them - they did, they made the conscious decision to send those photos. Acknowledging that they have made a stupid decision in no way diminishes his guilt in abusing that.

But you just stick your fingers in your ears and ignore logic, it's worked well for you up to this point.
