As to your scenario about male rape. The frat guy should not have expected to be sexually assaulted. But he should have the sense to know that something bad could happen to him if he got himself incapacitated.
EXACTLY! My point is everything we do can increase the risk of something bad happening to us (It is a fact that driving late at night increases your risk of being hit by a drunk driver), so why is it we point to an increased risk of rape by drinking as being the thing we want to slap the personal responsibility on the victim? In both cases you chose to do an activity that increased your chance of injury that didn't need to be done i.e. drinking and choosing to drive late at night. The analogy fits if you look at things from a basic level, however when you tag drinking into rape it somehow becomes different when it really isn't if we look at things objectively.
