So should you leave yourself vulnerable and " take one for the team " to prove a point?. I'd rather not. That's why I lock my doors and don't leave my iPhone on my front seat with the windows rolled down.
Yes, let's ask someone who just got robbed while they were looking for an address why they were making themselves so vulnerable. Sometimes you need to look up "like a tourist" to find an address. Sometimes you trust a guy who turns out to be a shit.

Maybe we don't focus on what the victim could have done different to not get raped. Because what we're asking is "did you really get raped or are you just negligent." That's very strange.
