And US courts agree and rightfully serve sentence to the guilty party of the rapist nearly no matter what the circumstance of the victim. Rape is rape and the volitional part (blame) is fully on the rapist which is mostly male because that's just how anatomy and evolutionary predisposition is.
I think the situation is worse than a "victim-hood, all men are rapists" mind set. It's becoming "women bear no self responsibility for their situation and their actions have no consequences."
I disagree. Not only is no one saying that "all men are rapists" (strawman much?!), you've got examples in this very thread of women who are speaking otherwise regarding consequences of behavior and decisions.
You can ignore them if you wish, but that doesn't make their posts less-pertinent. They are women; they are saying that getting drunk raises vulnerability and that it isn't wise. Even the OP (in a later post) wrote, "Why put yourself in danger?" It sure seems to me, on this side of the screen, that there's a preconceived notion in play on your part.
Bang that drum all you want, but don't bang it over the heads here. The gals are generally talking sensibly, and don't deserve to be pasted with your sociological perspective when they generally aren't espousing what you claim.
I didn't say anyone did nor did I say "all men", I said it's mostly men doing the raping due to anatomy and evolutionary predisposition. Turns out more men are raped in the US than women...by other men in prison. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...abuse.html
I'm not ignoring them and your white knighting is unnecessary.
