1/3 victims are forced upon by close friends and even family members in this situation, and can you really tell someone it's not safe to party hardy with someone you trust? No. Of course, I don't drink, but if I did want to go all out in a drunken bliss, it would only be around those I hold dear to me, and sometimes, it is those who will take advantage of you. Any type of s3xu4l encounter without consent can, and usually is considered raep, whether or not you put yourself in that situation. Blaming someone and accusing them of cheating when they truly were taken advantage of is cruel, just as cruel as blaming the person who forgot to lock their door, got off the train late at night, or simply walked past the wrong alley. Were they being cautious? Definitely not, but it's cruel to think that society may judge them as the cause of their own victimization.
I went on a rant there...but... yeah... While I do agree that you are responsible for your own actions while under the influence, I don't find reason enough to blame someone for being manipulated. Unless you blatantly declared, "I'm having s3x with someone, tonight!", you shouldn't have to be judged as a culprit in your own downfall. You may not have taken every step to prevent a situation, but you certainly didn't cause it... Anyway.. That's just my perspective on things... @.@;; *Silently re-scurries off...*
it's only date-r*pe if someone slips you rohypnol or knowingly drugs you in some other way, and it isn't consensual. what i mean is, when the other person is undressing you and you aren't complying or whatever. if you're inebriated to the point that you don't even know where you are or what's happen, okay.
but if you're drunk and making out with someone and undressing and not telling the other person to stop, no dice. you're more than coherent enough to stop what you're doing. is it a stupid mistake you made? obviously, but you're going to keep making the same mistakes if you try to pass off the responsibility on the other person. is anyone you sleep with while drunk all of a sudden a rapist, because you weren't 100% sober? it's also really likely anyone you sleep with while drunk is intoxicated as well, so it's not like they're in their best state of mind, either.. if someone r*pes you while drunk, are they allowed the same 'well, i was drunk' get-out-of-jail-free card?
