If you go visit someone late at night and he robs you no one ever says, "well, what did you think would happen?"
If you went out for a night on the town while wearing expensive clothes and get robbed, no one ever says, "well you were asking for it. Surely you knew you were going to draw attention to yourself!"
If you get robbed at knife point, and the robber says you gave him the money, that the whole thing was consensual, the police don't say, "we see no sign of a struggle; he says it was consensual; do you want to think about this a little more clearly; you did admit you had a couple of drinks. All we have right now is a he-said-she-said." (And yes, there have been robbers to claim the victim gave them the money, just no one ever believes it).
If someone drugs you, and steals your wallet, no one ever says, "real robbery victims REMEMBER!" Also, no one says, "I see no sign of a struggle."
Our attitude towards rape victims are unique. Many defenders of rape culture say that they are just being helpful when they tell a rape victim how she should dress, and that it is not victim blaming to suggest that she shouldn't go -- wherever -- with a man she just met, or that she shouldn't be out -- gasp -- drinking, and on and on, but when has someone told victims of other crimes these things? Why don't politicians and men like Cee-Lo Green talk about "legitimate" or "real" robbery victims? Why don't police look for clear signs of a "struggle" when someone says they are robbed?
I get the idea that sex can be consensual. But so is giving people money. If we can look at rape cases as possible consensual sex, why don't we look at robbery cases as the possible consensual giving of money? Isn't it just as possible for a person to lie and say they were robbed as it is for someone to lie and say they were raped?
It seems we always struggle over the truth of rape allegations. But when it comes to robbery, I see no sign of a struggle.
