RE: The term "victim" and victim mentality is getting way out of hand. Take control of your life
I wouldn't be asking "why was the 14yo walking through the park alone at night" I would more be asking "why did that [insert expletives here] think they should get to do that" and "why isn't it safe for even a grown man to be walking alone through the park at night seriously wtf is wrong with you people".
But that's just me and I apparently never ask the right questions XP
yea i get that, but those questions don't solve the problem, like educating men that they don't have the right to do it wont change things. We all know murder and theft is wrong but people still do it because shitty people are shitty. Whether they think they should get to or not some people will. I personally wouldnt ask why she was walking alone at night in a park but i dont see it as victim blaming thats all.
Asking questions triggers answers/solutions. What kind of question leads to different answers/solutions. Stuff like your specific examples need lots of different solutions because it's pile of intertwined problems rather than a nice easy one.
To get back on topic with your victim mentality (which I completely forgot to address in previous comment due to getting distracted by the example, sorry about that XD): after you filter out the victims, I associate victim mentality with learned helplessness, and find both kind of annoying.
yea i dont actually know why i put the victim blaming bit in there it was a little off topic from what i was trying to talk about, but i guess as an example of a true victim
