Message: [QUOTE="Dash, post: 2900161, member: 8761"] I understand the point being made and I agree with it. Arseholes will always exist and you have at least some personal responsibility to keep yourself safe. The problem I have is that when the first reaction is to blame the victim, we're only exacerbating the situation. We're providing that little bit extra wiggle room that the scum of the world don't deserve. The more we say "she/he shouldn't have been so drunk" the more we're subtly implying that it's okay to hurt someone if they're too drunk. In this thread we've spent more time arguing over the (alleged) victim's culpability than the (alleged) perpetrator's. Doesn't that seem wrong? The world isn't perfect and probably never will be, but it certainly won't be if we keep treating being drunk as a bigger error of judgement than raping a drunk person. [/QUOTE]
