Tammy. I would never blame a victim. Of course people should have the freedom to travel anyway they choose. Which was why I stressed the victim was not at fault. Im sure the girl didnt get in the taxi thinking "I might become a victim but what the heck..." God forbid.
Everyone the world over and especially women have to think twice about who we make contact with and how we get around from A to B. By highlighting the fact that this lady got into a taxi with what I at the time thought was 2 guys, I did find bizarre. Its something the majority of single females wouldnt do in my part of the world, but how does that make it her fault? By urging others not to do the same could indeed help even if only 1 person thinks twice the next time and I think that's quite cool.
Sorry to make your blood boil
