Epic WTF

Because people make mistakes. Being doored is terrifyingly dangerous and to educate cyclists to minimise the chances of it happening is common fucking sense not victim blaming.

It doesn't matter that it would be the fault of the person in the car and that he might face prosecution. The cyclist is the one who ends up in thw wheelchair.

Yeeaaaaaahh......? I'm trying to clarify where the line falls between victim-blaming and uncontroversial, non-victim-blaming, public safety information i.e., why it's seemingly unnacceptable to present any advice to potential rape victims about how to stay safe (because this would be victim blaming), while being perfectly acceptable to give advice to potential victims of a dooring about how to stay safe (because this is... what?)

bothwell is, frankly, doing a very good job of picking it apart. I don't think your post really adds much as it just leaps back to a "it's common sense" (hello Jeez?) approach, which doesn't really serve to distinguish the two situations. After all "It doesn't matter that it would be the fault of the rapist and that he/she might face prosecution. The rape victim is the one who ends up pregnant/psychologically scarred etc. etc."
