I think the point is that not all people who claim to be the victim are the victim. Women sleeping with blacks during Jim Crow would claim they were raped when found out. Potiphar's wife comes to mind as an example. I agree that she was not a co-conspirator of the assault, it was actually all her.
You have shown your true colors in assuming that anyone claiming to be a victim is a victim.

I was not replying to any of his posts, I was replying to the broad brush accusation that many men think the woman is guilty for the rape. What many men think is that women are often liars and no one should be convicted of a felony without adequate evidence. There are several rapes recorded in the Bible. Joseph's sister Dinah was forced, David's daughter was raped, the concubine of a levite was gang raped. But the Bible also makes it clear things are not always what they seem. Joseph is one example and Tamar is another.
The law is also very clear, we do not blame victims.
But in an evil and adulterous age there is no reason to just assume the woman is telling the truth without proof.
A few years ago there was this #Believewomen. Sounded reasonable, until multiple women accused Biden and they were silent, multiple women accused Andrew Cuomo and they were silent. One woman makes a lame accusation of Kavanaugh without any shred of evidence, couldn't even tell us the day of the rape or the location of the rape and they are all jumping up and down that we need to believe women. No thanks. I'll believe physical evidence and eyewitnesses.

Yes, false accusations do happen but that's not the conversation we're having. The conversation we're having is this guy is being a rape apologist and blaming the victim.
If a bully tried to steal my lunch money, I would probably just break his nose with my history book. That would send a pretty good message
The average man has twice the upper body strength of the average woman. So that's an entirely different scenario

That "logic" does not work for me and probably most men. I used to wonder why I never experienced bullies in school and then as I thought about it I had run into at least four bullies. Every time I stood up for myself, refused to be intimidated and that was that. Every time the bully seems to have the advantage, they are bigger than you (3 out of the four times) or they outnumber you. Once it was two guys bigger than me threatening to steal my tennis racked. Another time it was one kid my size but with about four or five football players with him.
I had forgotten about these incidents because bullies wimp out real fast when you stand up to them and that is what happened in all four cases.
So this is a terrible analogy for men, we are taught to stand and fight, and of course the bully is always bigger, stronger, older or outnumbers you.
Women on the other hand are taught to take other precautions. Go places with a friend. My wife would call her mother every time she walked the two blocks from the bus to our house after work.
