No, but it can cause you to so stupid things like abuse people. The drunken abusive father is a well known archetype in stories.
I don't know if anyone is debating whether the rapist is to blame. I believe the denbate is more about whether the woman should take some responsibility for her own actions or not.
I just wouldn't categorize raping someone as "doing something stupid." Doing something stupid is drunk texting your ex or pissing on the side of a building. Not rape.
Of course the woman should be more responsible in her actions and avoid dangerous situations. No one is debating that either. Like I said, my objection to your posts is the way you're making drunken rape out to be some sort of natural progression or stupid thing that "happens" and a person can't control themselves. If that is not what you mean, then I apologize, but that is just what it keeps coming off as on each one of your posts.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
