It's a horribly socially constructed judgement isn't it? i remember in the 60s, a young man from a very wealthy family I knew. he was "persuaded" not to have a bike, because it was dangerous, by being bought a very powerful car. When he had the inevitable accident, he killed 4, including himself. Sympathetically reprted, socially acceptable, unlike one of his contemporaries, killed by a criminally bad car driver, as he rode his moped. You would have thought the dead boy was to blame.
Strange standards society sets.
