[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As far as blaming the woman ... Look at it this way: if someone robbed her, took her purse and jewelry, etc. while she was passed out, would she be blamed? Of course not. This has to do with a man not being able to control himself sexually and blaming the woman for arrousing him. This line of thinking is so old fashioned it's biblical in origin.[/quote]

Not so fast.

It's not victim blaming when you say, "What was she thinking?"

If you are too drunk to recognize dangerous situations and protect yourself, then YOU have put yourself in harms way. You can't rely on strangers to protect you. Sometimes they will, sometimes they won't. Drunk people aren't just rape victims. They fall off of balconies at spring break, and call overboard on booze cruises. They get killed crossing coastal highway in Ocean City. They get mugged. They drive drunk and kill people.

What are you teaching your daughters? To be vigilant, or to simply have fun and expect strangers to keep them safe?

To be clear: I'm not justifying rape. I'm not defending rapists. Rather, I'm emphasizing the importance of taking precautions and being in control. [/quote]
