Victim Blaming

 I was glad to see someone take up the issues wrt sexuality in the Atlanta shooting last week.  But sadly the author seems to merely be shifting the blame once again.

I made this comment:

Author says that Asian Women are distinctly hypersexualized.  This borders on blaming the victims for their choice of occupation, and blaming their career for even existing.

The author properly heaps blame on those who blame men's sexuality and violence on women.  But what about characterizing the false and wrongful diagnosis of sex addiction as a form of hate and sexism?   Visiting massage parlors is normal sexual activity involving an ancient profession, not a soul destroying addiction that needs to be cured.
