Reply #116: I hashed out the rape/drunk girl at frat party debate with a professor of mine [View All]

She brought up that scenario and just about everyone said that the woman was at fault for getting drunk in the first place. She brought it on herself, so to speak. The professor would not entertain any real discussion about this; she stated that it was blaming the victim. I am in the middle: I believe that no one deserves to get raped under any circumstances. However, I think it's important to discuss with women how frequent this sort of thing is. That way, they are armed with the knowledge that this is not an uncommon event and they should prepare ahead of time. Once you begin to drink, your clarity of mind goes bye-bye. And this applies to driving whilst loaded, etc. We cannot control rapists simply by enacting laws but we can help lessen the number of victims with safeguards. I also think female massage therapists should never do their work in isolated places like hotel rooms or houses. They should have an office where they can call for help if need be.
