I suppose she probably shouldn't have been wearing what she was wearing and probably gave off non-verbal signals all night, too. Plus you know - boys will be boys. Har har har har har.
Hey I'm gonna come rob you. You should shoulder the responsibility - I wouldn't have stolen your stuff if you didn't have so much nice stuff.

When men know that they can rape someone and, in the rare case that they are convicted, potentially only get 3 months in jail, not prison, there is little deterrent for the behavior.
And reading about the experiences she had to go through immediately after being raped in order to even bring a small bit of justice...
We don't have a rape culture...
Yes. It was a real question. Should she be blamed for being raped? No. Is she stupid for getting so drunk she put herself in a dangerous situation? Yes. And before you all start with the rape culture stuff, men have to worry about that stuff too. They will not likely be raped, but they can be physically assaulted and robbed. I would consider myself stupid if I got fall down drunk, passed out in an alley, and was assaulted and robbed. Should I have had to worry about that? In a perfect world, no. In the real world, yes. For both men and women, there are people who will take advantage of you when you are in a compromised or weakened position. That's simply reality. Again, should she be BLAMED....no. Should she have demonstrated better common sense....yes.
