Actually it does seem to. Police won’t even ‘investigate’ if your car wasn’t locked. Growing up I was always told it’s better to leave it unlocked so you don’t have to replace a door or window over some spare change. Turns out the breaking into a locked vehicle is the only part of the crime that law enforcement cares about. Now I always lock my vehicles because taking things from an unlocked car is apparently not a crime.
Anyway, not defending the analogy, just expanding on it.

We get the analogy. What we don’t get is why someone would downplay how victims get blamed in the case of rape.
By the way, have you read the rules of this community?
I have now. I apologize and I’ll see myself out!
