Yes, it is still bloody blaming the victim! I agree that she still told the girl that it was rape, I agree that she referred the girl to a reliable authority, but the point about drinking should never have come first, the question about whether or not the guy was drinking and his judgement was impaired should never have come up, because it is fucking irrelevant!
Bad phrasing is still bad phrasing. Is it unwise to get intoxicated? Yes. Should it have been mentioned as 'firstly?' Fuck no. And if several people read it wrongly, woman? You're doing it wrong.
