Whose fault is it?

Yes, of course the girl needs (and needed) support. At sixteen, she felt adult but didn't really have the skills or knowledge to be one. Perhaps she knew that going out drinking was 'wrong' and she may or may not have known that it was dangerous because she'd be giving out all the wrong signals. Would you advise your daughter (if you have one) to do that because, "... what the hell! If you get raped, the 'law' will on your side and all the blame will be with the guy(s)"? No, of course you wouldn't! If someone goes to a zoo and thinks that it would be fun to take a selfie with a tiger looking over their shoulder and gets mauled, who do you blame? The tiger or the person who is stupid enough to stand too near the bars? Support isn't about saying that someone is a 'victim' and is blameless. It's about making sure that the person you are giving it to knows enough to be safe and, if they were unfortunate enough to have harm come to them, helping them to come to terms with what happened. It is one thing to be able to go walking in the park on a sunny day, asking for nothing but to be alone for a bit and to be raped because there was a sick guy there who took advantage of the situation. It's quite another to go out drinking when you don't know your capabilities, meet some guys and find that the situation has got out of hand. Does that mean that I have sympathy with the rapists? No! Not at all! (Maybe they need support, too, but do they get it? Like hll they do!). Please don't all say "Aww, poor girl! It was all the fault of those 'animals'!". That isn't 'support' - it's merely passing the buck. Let's recognise that sometimes (but by no means always) SOME of the 'blame' for a rape (and I contend that laying blame is a negative thing, not a positive one), just like the 'blame' for a traffic accident, can be said to be the fault of the 'victim'.

All were wrong in the situation I think. If the girl had self control and was taught better it's quite possible it might not have happened at all. The men needed self control and didn't have any either, they were very wrong too.

Rape is rape. It is wrong to transfer the fault to the victim. It is never right for any man to physically abuse a woman. This is gang rape. Sometime during the rape, one would have come to his senses and stop the brutality. That did not happen, I presume, For those blaming the girl and rendering the rapists right, that is false compassion.

I really hate victim blaming. She was raped. It was rape because she didn’t allow it and did not want it. I agree that she should’ve been more careful. She was probably naive or really trusted those guys she was with. But no matter what, she didn’t deserve what happened to her. Rape cannot be justified.

@jiwonnie The girl should not be blamed. To gangrape her is terrible and they should go to jail.

Actually for me if you are a girl you have to avoid mixing yourself with men especially if you are alone then you are drinking liquors you have to take care of yourself also and must not give her trust right away because they are men and you know she is a girl.You know what I mean.
