If you don't want to have sex, don't get naked and start kissing someone. especially someone who is drunk.
Now if a woman just happens to be walking down the street in a revealing outfit, and she gets jumped and raped, I put full blame on the rapists. But there's a difference between a poor innocent victim going about their day, and getting raped, and someone who decided she wants to get naked and kiss a drunk guy, and expecting him to know when to stop.
getting run over by a car is a horrible thing, but if you were playing in the street when it happened it's a little bit your fault. Context is important.
I don't always understand this black-and-white "you're with me or against me" mentality of online social activism. You have to only blame the perceived aggressor, or you are dismissing the wrongs they did and defending the crime. Sometimes both parties are at fault.
The guy in this situation is a rapist and needs to do some time for it. I find it's pretty bad how often I have to say this to adults, but if you know that alcohol makes you do stupid shit, then "you + binge drinking" shouldn't happen. It took me one bad night, that cost me hundreds to pay for the damage I did to someone else's property, for me to learn that. Guess what I've never been that drunk again since. Learn, people.
She, however, is also partly to blame, for exactly the same reasons. Putting yourself in danger is also "stupid shit" you do while you are drunk. If she really has been raped all those times and she still hasn't learned this, then she needs rehab, not defending or validation.
Being drunk is not a legitimate excuse for doing stupid things. If you do things you know you'll regret while under influence, don't fucking drink so much, and that's all she wrote.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
