Abstract

Rape myths and behaviors indexed as "appropriate" create "common sense" resources to explain away rape by sanctioning victim-blaming. Victim-blaming talk has been identified in perpetrators, formal service providers, and the public. This qualitative study examines narratives constructed by 12 individuals who experienced rape to identify the discursive tools employed as they formulate accounts to justify their actions. Findings imply that assumptions of blameworthy behavior are informed by rape myths and "ideal" victim traits. Offering accounts in anticipation of blame, they display an awareness of myths and standards that may be leveraged to hold them accountable for "contributing" to the attack.

强奸个人叙述中的指责预期。

强奸神话和被索引为“适当”的行为创造了“常识”资源，通过谴责受害者来解释强奸。在肇事者、正式服务提供者和公众中都发现了指责受害者的谈话。这项定性研究考察了12名经历过强奸的人所构建的叙事，以确定他们在为自己的行为辩护时所使用的话语工具。研究结果表明，对应受谴责行为的假设是由强奸神话和“理想的”受害者特征所决定的。他们提供的解释是对指责的预期，他们表现出一种对神话和标准的意识，这些神话和标准可能会被利用来追究他们对攻击的“贡献”。
