[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just finished the book Know My Name by Chanel Miller, the woman who was raped by Brock Turner, and looked through this thread. Wow, some of the comments here were really eye-opening, and showed an extreme lack of knowledge of the case. Has anyone else read the book? If you thought she bore some culpability for what happened prior to the book being released, did your perspective change by what you learned?[/quote]

I haven't read the book and think she has some culpability (a good bit of culpability) for what happened, given her history of drinking and having blackouts (and given her age).

Did the book change your perspective?[/quote]

If you think it's open season to rape women who are passed out next to a dumpster, I doubt a book will change your mind. [/quote]

Both things can be true. It’s not open season to rape people. But it happens. So you need to act responsibly and not get blackout drunk which pretty much opens the door to said rape. 
Personal responsibility people. [/quote]

Sober women are raped all the time. Rape is the problem, not drunkenness.[/quote]

Sigh.

Rape is obviously the problem.

But shouldn’t everyone attempt to mitigate the risk of danger by being aware of their surroundings, maintaining control of their faculties, etc.? [/quote]

A woman [b]should[/b] be able to have 1 drink or 10 and expect to NOT be raped. Just like me have this expectation.

Your explanation excuses rapists and blames women. [/quote]

Once again, you can continue to make decisions based on what SHOULD be. I make them based on what actually happens. 
If that strategy works for you, great. It doesn’t work for me and my daughter. So I’m going to continue to teach her how to keep herself safe in the world we actually live in.
