I guess I'm just too "nice". I don't get really anything that bad from this one, probably because I've seen way too many blunter "advice" issues on rape which do say its the female's fault, especially if she was drinking.
This, though it mentioned drinking briefly, didn't seem to lash out that much. And for me the focus was solely on whether or not the female said "no". No matter if she was inebriated or not, she had to have said yes otherwise it was rape. The fact she needed to be able to give consent was the main point that stood out for me and it answered the person's queries.
And the fact about involving the other male party, yes, it needs to be done, but it she didn't say go up to him and confront him herself. She probably should have made it clearer by saying to involve a friend, trusted person (or the police or consellor) to contact the man.
