I've heard some amazing generalizations, but this one takes the cake.
If I'm shot by a sniper as I walk along some otherwise nondescript street,
I wanted it to happen? If I'm hit by a meteorite, I wanted it to happen?
If I'm vaporized in a nuclear holocaust, I and a million other people
wanted it to happen (and the few that survived were the only ones that
didn't)? 

One may as well say,
"All women are sluts (No flames please. Blah, blah, blah, mystical
   nonsense. Leave it at that.)."

Seriously, what seems to be part of this is the idea that women don't get
raped unless they really want to. That's got to be one of the more pernicious
pieces of non(common)sense floating around these days.

Please understand, I'm not saying Randwulf is a horrible person, or anything
like that, but his statement really fries me.
