Your words, emphasis mine only to draw your eye to the language you're using.
Do please go on about how you haven't said it's the victims fault. It just further cements the idea that you've found yourself in a bad position and are now arguing to try and dig your way out.

Nice try at deflection. My feelings are hardly hurt, I'm simply pointing out what you are doing, i.e. you are trying to project your personal feelings onto my posts. You are making a purely feelings based argument. What you are basically saying is that "When I read your post, I feel..."
Once again, I point out that you have not identified a single post of mine where I actually said what you feel that I must have meant. It's purely "when I read this, this is how I reacted". I have no power over how you react or feel, that is totally on you. I only have power over what I actually say. You can feel what ever you want, but I'm not going to sit by quietly while you engage in straw man arguments. (Straw man argument - Claiming someone said something they didn't, then arguing against that point rather than the other person's actual point. A classic rhetorical technique).
It's pretty obvious that you simply can't bring yourself to accept any evidence contrary to your strongly held belief. Fine, that's your right. If you don't want to believe that there are things you can do to minimize your chance at being the victim of a crime, that's up to you. Just don't try to put words in my mouth.
