Remember, strong in-group bonds are a k trait, not an r one. How many of you victim blaming whiners actually reached out to help this woman? How many of you even wrote her a nice letter? That's right, none of you. Because you don't give two shits about her, except insofar as you can status signal on message boards.
And the answer, by the way, is two fold. First, any government strong enough to prevent all negative actions would make 1984 look like a picnic. Second, people need negative stimulus to be strong. Think about all of the most noble traits of man: bravery, altruism, self sacrifice. They all require harsh stimulus. It's like lifting weights: you can't grow without stress.
Finally, I have a huge amount of sympathy for people who took reasonable precautions and got screwed anyway. But yeah, when you voluntarily repeatedly expose yourself to an environment where negative can things can happen to you, the only possible explanation is that you are OK with those negative things, and so am I.
