All too often, rape goes unreported, and the attacker is free to rape again. If you or someone you know has been raped, please report it! It is not your fault that this happened.[/QUO
it may be. but it may also be like blaming a reporter for going into a combat zone without protective equipment. i am not blaming a rape victim when i say that if a young woman goes to a college dorm room with three football players to drink ..... she is placing herself at risk. when i was 13 years old i had a 15 foot wooden boat, a real old fashioned rowing boat for salt water. my father was a fisherman and if i told him i was going to row across the atlantic he might tell me i had a right to do it but i'd be a damn fool to try, something bad would certainly happen to me.TE]
This is really true. Like, if you go into a dingey, divey, grotty place full of drunk shady people wearing nothing but a little skirt and tube top, you're probably either really naive or really stupid, or both. Now obviously any rapist should be brought to justice, and it's wrong to do something like that, but at the same time, people could do a lot more to avoid the situation.
There's also this completely false idea that when a woman is drunk, any sex with her is rape. That's simply not true. If a woman chooses to get drunk then makes bad decisions in that state, courts in the UK will often come out with a decision along the lines of ''you should have been more responsible to begin with''.
Regretted sex is not rape.
