So, I'm at school orientation today (okay a little rant first, transfer students should not have to go through orientation), and we have to watch this little skit on a "real life situation" and respond to it. The situation we watch is this girl getting trashed at a party, stripping while talking with this guy about sex, taking him to a room to make out, and then she gets raped.
Now, I am not saying rape is okay. No means no, the guy should go to prison. But I make one little comment about not placing yourself in a unsafe situation and this crazy uber-fem jumps all over me about how I'm "blaming the victim"
I mean, if a person goes for a walk at 2 in the morning down a dark alley in a big city, and he gets shot, that's bad, and evil, and shouldn't have happened. But maybe he should have waited until daylight to go for a stroll.
Any thoughts? Can there be any personal responsibilty for rape? Or am I a disgrace to my gender?
