	The Trouble with Liberals - ‘Blaming the Victim'
		It is one of the characteristics of victim blaming that the inequality of Capitalist society is not questioned, but rather the blame for certain suffering and social problems is instead shifted to become a problem inherent in the victim.
		Victim blaming ideology is not restricted to political parties and their supporters, for as Ryan documents in his book, the very Aid agencies which are supposed to be helping the poor are often targeting the poor with victim blaming ideology.
		Liberal victim blaming ideology is a departure from the prejudice of the past, when fls were dismissed as being sub-human and Victorian society condemned the poor as poorly bred and defective due to heredity.

	Study: Women, Mind Control..Battering of Women 01/05
		Blaming the victim is frequently used to justify the use of coercive power (Kipnis, 1976), and such self-blame is also found among the victims of rape (Janoff-Bulman, 1979; Libow and Doty, 1979).
		In these relationships the painful feelings of confusion, anxiety, and guilt that the victimized woman is led to feel are all relieved when she simply gives in and does what she is told.
		As she improves, she may be reinforced by changing her role from the victim to the rescuer, helping other similarly victimized women in social support groups established for this purpose.

	Homophobia and the Sexual Assault of Men: Social and Cultural Perceptions
		The confusion of violence with sex blames the victim; when the perpetrator is another man, since the survivor “wanted it,” the conclusion is that the male survivor must be gay.
		Since men are not (must not be) victims, any man who is victimized must be less of a man, less than a man, or not a man at all.
		Even when the victimization of men is not denied outright, it is disguised or minimized, or is framed as important only as a cause of violence, ie: identifying the male survivor as a future offender.

	Victim-Blaming Gets Things Done
		The only way that you could blame victims is for letting their problems happen, continue, or bother them, or for doing things or being in places that would make them unusually vulnerable.
		Victim correction as a panacea also makes these judgments of victims seem like natural judgments of how well they’re taking care of themselves, since how well they protect themselves could make a big difference in how well they take care of themselves, and for them to “find blame” would seem like finding excuses.
		But besides that, such ads and guides, claim to be enlightened, since what they blame is the victims’ biologies rather than their characters.

		And, as is often the case, it is a discussion of what you mean by 'blaming' and 'causing.' Consider a local example.
