The girls around this town bring sexual assaults upon themselves. look at the way they dress, how intoxicated they get and the behavior they show when dressed and highly intoxicated! Stand outside Ginger Hill on a weekend night at closing time and observe! They come out of there barely able to walk, hanging on multiple men and occasionally start the making out process in public. Now what man would say no to a good looking girl, barely dressed and willing to take them home and get in to bed with them? What happens next is the girl wakes up realizing it was a mistake because she has a boyfriend and fears he will find out. How do you cover this up, tell the police you were sexually assaulted. It has and does happen, I know of people this happened to. Yes there are sexual predators out there that commit these crimes but there are a lot more that happen because of poor judgments. Stop getting drunk to the point you need helping walking, stop wearing skirts that barely cover your a$$ and stop leading on guys who themselves are intoxicated and the unwanted sexual experiences will stop also! Alcohol impairs your judgment in many ways including making good judgment calls on your sexual behavior!

Sadly--for those narrow-minded fools who require them to be at peace--statistics are no match for common sense. As just one example: Any woman who knowingly and intentionally incapacitates herself by consuming alcohol, particularly in any non-familial social setting and even more so if others are drinking alcohol, is implicitly consenting to any AND everything which may or may not occur thereafter as a result. Now, if someone were to actually commit a crime against a drunk college student, such as murdering him or her, that's another story. (Frankly it would be an improvement; might as well get rid of those drama-queens--and kings--while it's easy). Our current system, wherein phenomenally-unintelligent legal decisions are made based on phenomenally-stupid personal decisions which were in no way "forced," is about as impressively designed as a cardboard box. Dan: quit being such a fucking moron.
Any who actually think that 1/6 of college women are victims are so far out of touch with reality that they might as well shout it out everywhere, as in this article... 'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT CRAZY PEOPLE DO.

First of all, I think it is truly sad that there are people like you who believe that women ask to be raped. Women should be able to walk down the street in mini-skirts and tank tops without having to worry about being assaulted. If a woman chooses to go out and have a few drinks, she should be able to do so and trust the people whom she is with to not take her home and rape her. (Or worry about some dirtbag assaulting her) You really should think before you make such ignorant statements.
Do you have a sister, a mother, a girlfriend? Do you know anyone who was raped? Do you have ANY idea of the traumatic pain and suffering that not only the victim endures, but by his/her family as well?? Because I DO.
It is terrible that we live in a society where people actually convince themselves that anyone deserves to be raped. Women don't need to change the way they dress- those who commit these crimes need to change THEIR WAYS. It is NEVER the victim's fault, and people need to get that into their heads...This is a huge reason so many are afraid to come forward about being raped- because there are people like you who try and convince them that they are at fault.
Somehow I think if you were a woman, maybe you'd get a clue. (Probably not though)My heart goes out to anyone- male OR female that has ever been sexually assaulted or raped.

From what source does she draw the 1 in 6 figure, and if a rape isn't reported, how do you know that 85% of them didn't get reported? You don't know what you don't know.
And can we please stop using the lie that only 2 or 3% of reported rapes are false. This has been debunked too many times to continue to use. The FBI's numbers state that anywhere from 8% to 15% are "unfounded". Unfounded meaning that there wasn't enough evidence to support the claim. That doesn't include those that law enforcement determines to be blatantly false from the beginning.
According to Beety, if the victim is unconscious, or can't consent because he or she is drunk, it's considered rape.
I can't wait to start seeing all of the women that will be arrested and prosecuted for rape because they had sex with a man that was drunk. Can anyone honestly tell me that there has EVER been a case where this has happened?
