If I were to wander through the southside of Chicago at dusk waving a stack of $100 bills, I'd very likely get robbed.  Not that anyone has a right to rob anyone else.  But deliberately increasing my chances of getting robbed is stupid.  And if someone told me I shouldn't have been putting myself at heightened risk, I doubt too many people would sympathize if I played the victim card.

That sexual assault is treated as so much worse than any other form of violent assault is more a reflection of society's squeamishness with sex than with any inherent degree of difference.  Why don't women report rape?  Fear of ridicule.  Fear of shame and embarrassment.  Factors not involved in other forms of assault.  And why?  Because of society's attitude toward sexual matters.  Once society grows up and changes its attitudes toward sex, sexual assault will not carry the same degree of shame, and there will be less reticence to report it.
