The political correctness crowd out there (Entertainment tonight idiots, talk show crowd, etc) all shout about not blaming the victim. Yet there are plenty of other circumstances in life where you the victim are absolutely held at least partially responsible for what happens to you.
Case in point:
Leave your car unlocked in a downtown parking lot (or even in your own driveway depending on where you live), and if it gets stolen you can bet your ass both the cops and your insurance company ARE going to ask you if you had it locked. They'll also ask if you had any anti-theft device in place and activated. If your answer is no to those questions they are for sure going to hold you responsible in some way, you might even have your claim tossed under the wrong circumstances. YOU the victim hold some blame there if you were dumb enough to leave your car unprotected.
House break-in and theft? Same thing. Did you do all you could to protect your property? If not just see what your insurance co. has to say about YOUR part of the blame. Left your front door open did you? Windows not locked? Alarm not set? It won't be entirely your fault but you may very well have to suffer a penalty on your claim.
I'm not sure why these celebs think they're entitled to any different treatment here. Tons of people are telling them "Hey, don't want your private nudie shit made public? Then don't take them in the first place, or at least delete them after you send them to that 'special someone' in your life whom you trust implicitly not to out them" ...and they're right.
Jennifer's not wrong exactly either though. In an ideal world that's how it should work. But this isn't an ideal world. Anyone who is actually living in it and has been paying attention should know that.
Welcome to the real world Jen.
