I don't plan to post follow-ups, but if your point is to truly understand then...  Yes it was on-campus, and alcohol was involved.  But not excessive amounts (I knew what was happening to me and wasn't able to stop it though I wanted and tried to...I still remember the details 17 years later).  It was probably in one of the safer settings you could imagine to be drinking alcohol on a college campus (both in terms of location and people).

Rape can happen anywhere and to anyone.  I had previously done very foolish things and never once even felt threatened.  In retrospect, of course I could have done a couple of things differently that night which likely could have prevented what happened (and believe me, I dwelled on those for a long time).  But I would venture to say that if you accept that people might ever want to speak to and spend time alone with a member of the opposite sex for any reason, then you would consider the situation I was in to be relatively safe.  Aside from the fact that we had been drinking earlier, I don't think the alcohol played a significant role in what happened.[/quote]

I'm so sorry about what happened to you.[/quote]
