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.
AND THAT is why we have a rape culture.
There shouldn't be a 'don't get blackout drunk or someone is gonna rape you' mentality. When are we, as a species, going to stop saying dumb shit like that and start raising our sons to have more self control?
That a woman can't go out and get blackout drunk without fear of rape but I can as a male without fear of anything but an embarrassing story should sicken each and every one of you to the core.
That it doesn't proves that America is a rape culture.
Our father, who art in Hell
Unhallowed, be thy name
Cursed be thy sons and daughters
Of our nemesis who are to blame
Thy kingdom come, Nema
