It is awful that so many guys don’t take sexual responsibility seriously and I don’t think we can rely entirely on parents teaching their sons restraint and respect for women. Is this an issue that gets discussed in sex-ed generally? If it is, they should spend more time on that subject.

First, Rape is not a “sexual” crime, per se. It is VIOLENT CRIME. It is a crime of power and control, not sexual gratification.

Why this concept is so difficult to get thru people’s heads is beyond me.

Yeah, it is awful. In the case of rape, it is a CRIME.

Really, can we look at this situation in reverse? If it were a man in that bar binge-drinking and obviously not able to give legal consent? If a stranger were seen to be attempting to kidnap him or otherwise take advantage, whose responsibility would it be, who would you blame.

the victim, the criminal or the bystanders?
