[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Smart ladies do not allow themselves to become inebriated in public places. Drinking in your dorm with a group of female friends is far safer than doing so in a bar.[/quote]

This is so sad.  How about the parents of boys teach them just to NOT RAPE WOMEN??

Much better.[/quote]

Okay saying you shouldn’t drinking in a bar with female friends is absurd. But I think it’s fine to tell women about the correlation between alcohol and sexual assault. I found it really eye opening that men, especially younger men, think that women are being much more flirtatious and open to sex when they (the men) are inebriated. But I will also DD that no matter how much they drink or who they drink with or what they wear, it is never their fault. I am going to encourage my daughter to  read Chanel Miller’s book, since Miller does such a good job explaining why it is so crazy that we ever blame the victim. And perhaps even more importantly, I am going to teach my son the correlation between alcohol and sexual assault to. HE should never have sex when he has been drinking because it might make it difficult to accurately gage if others are consenting. And he should never assume that anybody is asking for it on the basis of clothing, or anything really but verbal consent. Verbal consent is not a mood killer but even if it is, better to risk killing the mood than to make unwanted sexual advances!
