It speaks of predators and selecting victims, even before drinking.
I condemn rapists.
My posts in this thread are not about challenging the responsibility of the victim.(although I was lured that direction)
My thoughts are geared towards the rationality concerning personal responsibility,  put forth by some folks that comes off as contradictory.
My perceived reason was that the majority of discussed situations involved a female victim, which invoked a beam of chivalry from some posters.
Emotions cause these subjects to be viewed irrationally.
I should have known better than to convey my thirst for ethical consistency.

Actually it goes much deeper in to the numbers pointing out that there may not be the relation between drinking and being more likely to be raped, but rather it may be happenstance that there is alcohol as the rape was inevitable.

I don't come off as contradictory, however you do. I laid out an example of your daughter being in a car accident where she put herself in a situation that increased the likelihood it could occur. You chose to say that there are different levels of risk, but that there were too many variables for you to claim where one becomes personal responsibility and one doesn't. You see I think both the girl who was raped and the person hit by the car have no real personal responsibility. You however, want to try and use a mythical scale to make your determination.

We can talk about male rape too if you like. A frat guy gets wasted and, let's say a female assaults him. He also did nothing wrong and should not have been subject to sexual assault. The problem is most of the rapes occur from males towards females, that is why it tends to be the topic.

You thirst for ethical consistency should be quenched at home first before looking outward. As I said you don't hold personal responsibility of victims of other crimes to the same standards as those involved in rape.
