I'm not saying if you get totally smashed you getting raped is your fault. However going out and getting blackout drunk does put yourself at risk. And not drinking to excess does minimize risk if you're aware of what's going on around you. That being said rape is no one's fault but the rapist. But let's stop pretending that telling people to drink responsibly is this awful thing.
I agree totally. I've posted before saying that a person should take precautions to make it less likely that they would be a victim of rape and got shouted down. Maybe I should have changed my religious views to atheist and I would have got some agreement.
No one in this entire thread has said that it's an "awful thing" to educate young women on how to stay safe, including drinking responsibly.
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”
