I never said the word "irresponsible", you are putting it in my mouth.
What I am saying is that the concept of "defensive walking" or "defensive cycling" is no different from "defensive driving": essentially you are acting so as to minimize the risk of an accident, even if the fault might lay with the other person.
If you prefer to consider that as "victim blaming", then I'll let you do that -- we do have free speech and all that -- and stop my participation in this conversation right now.
