A majority of women believe some rape victims should take responsibility for what happened, a survey suggests.
Almost three quarters of the women who believed this said if a victim got into bed with the assailant before an attack they should accept some responsibility.
One-third blamed victims who had dressed provocatively or gone back to the attacker's house for a drink.
The survey of more than 1,000 people in London marked the 10th anniversary of the Haven service for rape victims.
More than half of those of both sexes questioned said there were some circumstances when a rape victim should accept responsibility for an attack.
The study found that women were less forgiving of the victim than men.
Of the women who believed some victims should take responsibility, 71% thought a person should accept responsibility when getting into bed with someone, compared with 57% of men.
The survey also found more than one in 10 people were unsure whether they would report being raped to the police, and 2% said they would definitely not do so.
The main reasons were being too embarrassed or ashamed (55%), wanting to forget it had happened (41%) and not wanting to go to court (38%).

And does anyone think these poll numbers would be vastly different in the U.S. or about the same?

I don't know if they should take the blame, I do know some women lie about being raped. I knew one girl in high school who cried rape a few times, and one night when we were out cruising she sure didn't mind flirting with one of them of the guys who she accused of raping her.
And if you are wasted and he is wasted, and you don't remember having sex, well I don't think you should cry rape either.

Get a life, you dumb motherfucker, or at least keep your nonsense confined to relevant threads.
So you can cream your jeans over another "MUSLIM TERRORIST ATTACK!!!!"? No, I think not.No, they just consider themselves entitled to take what they want.

What are you gonna do blow up or something?
No, they're much more than that to you. Without Islam and all that you attribute to it, your life would be completely without purpose. You post under what you think to be an anti-Muslim moniker, most of your ramblings here are attempts to criticize the religion, and your obsession has driven you to get a tattoo proclaiming your disbelief in God's religion. What a loser.I dont even consider them news.

About 3% of the population, moron. God forbid you run into something that can't be blamed on Muslims. You fucking idiots are out in full force today.Many women in Britain still have a 1950s mentality when it comes to rape
Maybe there are more Muslims there now.
