I disagree with the comparison. A "drunk woman out by themselves" is, at the end of the day, just a person exercising their right to exist. A stock-market gambler, on the other hand, is literally betting on the bad decisions of whoever is on the other side of their trades. It's a predatory position to be in, and deserves a whole lot less sympathy.


That same logic says the rapist is betting on stupid women.


No, how?

WSB users are doing that to themselves. You can't possibly compare them to a raped person.


most rapes are not stranges in dark allies they are people who know each other. Thus a not choosing better friends can be argued to do it to yourself.


Horrible example of victim blaming here.


like I said this logic is victum blaming. Doesn't matter if it is stocks or rape there is a victum that some are not acknoweleging
