(Sorry for the repost, can't type, and still haven't coughed up for that paid account.)

This kind of thing just makes me so, so angry. I was listening to the radio over here, just a couple of days ago - to a radio station that goes out online, and all over Scotland - and there was an ad that essentially warned young women not to get drunk to reduce the risk of them getting raped.

Seriously, WTF? Being over the drink-drive limit - which is legal as long as you are not behind the wheel of the car - does not mean that the woman is responsible for the rape. It does not mean that they are setting themselves up to be raped. It does not make a rape in any way their fault.

I am almost too angry to go on, because this attitude drives me absolutely insane, but I think what makes me angriest about this is this:-

You don't say whether the guy was also drunk. If so, his judgment was also impaired.

Impaired judgement is not an excuse for rape. In every single situation, the answer to the question, "Should I still have sex with this person even after they have said that they do not want to?" is no. Every single time.

Just. W. T. F.

*hugs to you, though*
