When you say that you don't believe Blake Lively because she did XYX in the past you're perpetuating the "perfect victim" narrative. This narrative upholds that women must fit a certain standard to be believed as victims. The perfect victim is someone who: • Has no blame in the interaction • Devoid of mistakes • Did not provoke the perpetrator in any way • Avoids all actions that could be viewed as self-serving or opportunistic • Victimized by an offender (1/2)
