I don't think it's victim-blaming to note that she let him in. She didn't just buzz him in - she went to the door from the other side of the gym and opened it for him. Her attacker (consciously or subconsciously) was relying on the social conditioning that makes us feel uncomfortable for not being "nice" and helping someone out by letting them in the door. It's worthwhile to think about that in relation to your safety. [/quote] That’s what I was driving at. She let him in because she didn’t want to appear rude (or perhaps racist).
