[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can understand the sentence. It was basically a hookup at a frat party gone wrong. It doesn't make sense to send one party to prison for years.. There's no way to know when she became unconscious, but it was probably later rather than sooner.[/quote]

No, IT WAS A RAPE, you idiot[/quote]

Do you think a woman [b]ever bears any responsibility[/b] re staying sober, not trusting drunk strangers, not walking down a street at 2 a.m. alone, etc? We're not doing any favors to perpetuate the myth that women can be and do anything they want and go anywhere they want without being responsible for their own safety to the degree possible. That's beyond naive and truly not very smart.[/quote]

Well lucky for you this woman got her comeuppance, huh? That'll teach her!!

[/quote]

You're misinterpreting what I said. Think what you want, but I believe women need to think smart for their own safety as much as is humanly possible. I think the same for men. No one deserves to be hurt, raped, killed, maimed, etc.; and no one can ever be completely safe. [/quote]

If you're ever raped, I presume you'll blame yourself, then. Surely you would have done something that caused it to happen to you.[/quote]

If you counsel young men and women in any capacity, I hope you'll instill the idea that we all need to be on the lookout for dangerous situations and not trust people who don't care what happens to us and may even cause harm.  It's part of the basic teaching we share with middle and high school students re drug and alcohol safety. Doesn't mean we're assigning blame. It's about safety. [/quote]

Stop talking[/quote]

NP here.  why stop talking?  aren't you going to tell your children that bad things can happen to them if they get so drunk they blackout?  Yes he raped her.  Yes he was wrong.  But I am certainly going to tell my daughter to be careful and safe.[/quote]

And what are you going to tell your son?[/quote]

I don't have a son so didn't address that.  [/quote]

Good, I feel a little safer in the world knowing that fact.[/quote]

Did you take the time to read the previous posts?? It's all about safety for men AND women. Very possibly he wouldn't have raped a woman and basically ruined his life if he'd been sober. [/quote]

Right. He was just a stellar human being. Most people will rape if they have enough drinks. :roll: Let's start letting off murderers and child molesters as well, as long as they were really super drunk.

For all the people blaming the girl for being drunk - how about blaming HIM for being drunk? If too much alcohol turns you into a rapist, maybe you should NOT DRINK.[/quote]
