Until I could look closely at this... I started to think you were blaming all rapes on "short skirts"...

(11,862 posts)a girls skirt...I think the color is meaningful, and is meant to give you a false first belief...blaming women/girls

(53,410 posts)Now thats a giant leap to a conclusion that has absolutely no merit. Saying a color would have you believe something is not even remotely a confession of believing it. Its actually a criticism of the intent of the creator of that graph.

(11,862 posts)and the first color blames the victims...and then a cycle of other colors, ending in the obvious...when MOST pick the first...unril the last color is offered...
YES they believed a color!
lunatica
(53,410 posts)does not even remotely prove the person believes the graph is correct!
Do you agree with every graph you see just because the person creating it believes something?

(11,862 posts)First instinct...woman's/girl's fault...till you get to the reality.
I went down one color by one color...the first impression is the first color, till one gets to the truth, and realizes they were (I was) wrong to blame the women/girls!

(29,199 posts)however, until I reached the end of the list (having to scroll the graph), I did have this sort of gut reaction that some reactionary asshole was trying to troll us with an obvious "women ask for it" posting. When the correct answer finally scrolled into view, then I noticed that the color was not that of the first "short skirt" answer.
Long explanation for this. Since the OP can't change it... I guess I'll drop my "complaint".
angstlessk
(11,862 posts)The graph is explicitly set to let folks that some graph has folks blaming women/girls for rape at first glance...
What if the last color was not presented? This is not a scientific display...
How quickly are folks to blame the victims of rape?
Hell, I was 11 and drank beer, and even my mother blamed me.

(32,822 posts)They put us into breakout groups to list causes of safety concerns.
After the sessions the resulting sheets were taped up on the wall. I was surprised nobody called out the group that put up short skirts as a cause.
