Can Feminists Get Any More Desperate?

Worse than that. That was drawing a parallel between a self-inflicted harm (crashing while driving drunk) and being the victim of a heinous crime. It's a vile and disgusting comparison.

The problem is we should be aiming to live in a society where someone who has drunken or drugged themselves into almost total incapacity is guranteed to be safe from any criminal interefereance. Yet those who say there is some fault on the part of the victim in these situations seem to be saying that they are quite fine with a society where safety can't be assumed and so one cannot hold the violator to be 100% responsible for any act of violence rape or abuse of someone who is too drunk / drugged to be able to defend herself or even say no.

This is a joke right?

 

It's just naively idealistic.

 

While women should be free to wear whatever they want and get as inebriated as they want and absolutely nothing bad should happen, it sadly is important that they are aware of the dangers they are potentially putting themselves in.

 

This isn't victim blaming. Rape is NEVER the victims fault and 100% of blame should always lie with the perpetrator. However it doesn't mean that there aren't decisions an individual can make to help keep themselves safe.

 

Ideally you also shouldn't have to lock your door, not show off expensive items in public etc to help protect yourself from crime.
