I don't think we do, except in one instance: Where the argument is raised that an oppressed group does not bear some [personal]* responsibility for its circumstances at a later point. If one says that, he's necessarily employing such an analysis and has to also measure comparative responsibility. Any effort to measure or examine one without considering the other doesn't work.
ETA: * Removed. “Personal” should not be there. See subsequent posts.
