Bad take #117: "'*Everyone* in this story must have been damaged,' she said. 'It's an overlay of one ideology on another. The very word *harassed* is maddening to me. Women are all *harassed*. It goes without saying, like being *irritable* or *tired*. The thing is that men trivialise sexual harassment and women inflate it. Men make light of it and women make heavy.'"
This is some wild both-sidesing rape apologism.

"Ethically, yes, it *is* men's responsibility not to rape women; but I don't understand how 'the community' can prevent sexual assault while yet allowing women the freedoms we demand [...] It *is* a woman's responsibility to protect herself against sexual assault. A free woman must accept that in the world there is risk - that risk is part of her freedom."
Well this is some intellectually lazy rape apologist trash.

On women who report sexual harassment: "I thought I might be mad at these girls for not having *taken it like a woman* - for being wimps who ran to the law to whinge about a minor unpleasantness [...] I wondered whether I had become like one of those emotionally scarred men who boast to their sons, '*I* got the strap at school, and it didn't do *me* any harm.'"
