no, actually, sometimes she cannot use the safe word, because there is a hand over her mouth, or a knife at her throat. sometimes she cannot use the safe word because she is unconscious. sometimes she cannot use the safe word because she has been told she will be killed if she says anything. sometimes she cannot use the safe word because she is not yet a woman but a little girl and she is too scared to say it. sometimes she cannot use the safe word because it is hard to speak when you're screaming. no, it's not the woman's fault that she was raped. EVER.
