🫥 @nvalvo.name · 11hIt’s such a weird defense: “it was the victim’s fault because of the decades of past notorious crimes committed by the shifting membership of the organization that victimized her.” Can we hold someone accountable for *those* rapes, then? Or should those prior victims have known better, too? 040
