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?

So you think that the person who spouts racial slurs in a predominantly black neighborhood, or the person who drinks them self into a stupor and gets assaulted should be free from any responsibility for their actions?

A person steps over the rail at the Grand canyon to get a better picture. There are warning signs all over the rail explaining the danger. The person falls and is severly injured or killed. They should not have had the sense not to put themselves in a dangerous situation? I use that analogy because crossing the rail is going beyond a safe boundary. Similarlly, drinking to much is going beyond a safe boundary. Both are known dangerous situations to the offender. Where does common sense come into play?
