> t sounds like you are victim blaming.
replyIt sounds like you think victims are necessarily blameless.
Yes, I always find it very useful to condemn the mosquitoes when someone is bitten. If they aren't heartily condemned, they will be legitimized and emboldened.
replyThe evil victim blamers say "why was she wearing that short skirt?" They don't realize that the mosquitoes are sexist, and that we can and should eliminate all of the mosquitoes so she can wear what she wants.
We can and should eliminate all of the mosquitoes. Especially the female ones.
replyNo, we should not. Only those who bite humans and carry disease. (The vast majority does not)
replyMosquitoes are not needed in the city. They can fly as much as they want in national parks.
replyUntil we do, I'm going to continue to blame you for being bitten.

"That's just victim blaming--it isn't our behavior that needs to change; it is the enemy's behavior that needs to change."
Victim-blaming is another term that is apparently becoming a meaningless vibe.
