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.



Ha.

 

Driving drunk isn't self-harm, it's putting oneself in harm's way. Just like being an attractive and drunk teenage girl around a bunch of drunk teenage boys.



But you said you can't get mad if you crash. Crashing = self-inflicted harm, you might not be injured if you're lucky, but you sure as shit injured financially. hence self-inflicted harm. Which in no way can be equated to being raped while drunk. You can sure as shit get justifiably mad as hell if you get raped while drunk.
