If you’re drunk you asked for it right?
it is argued that these women are behaving irresponsibly and putting themselves at risk of being sexually assaulted or raped.
It could be argued, yes. But not by me. Not by Witchy, or by Christi either. The comments on both those posts are an interesting read too.
Anne Widdicombe says:
"It is time women accepted that part of liberation is taking responsibility for themselves and their safety,"
Really? So it is our fault then? Men just can’t control themselves? I don’t think so. Why should the way we behave be asking for trouble, for violation, for rape. No means No, no matter where or when it is said. A home office spokeswoman said:
"Rape is an appalling crime, which is never the victim’s fault,"
Rape can only be avoided by the rapist. That is the person who can call a halt and stop.
