NO this woman did NOT contribute towards her own rape - no matter if she had been sucking up an entire brewery's contents. I don't care if she was PARALYTIC in the gutter. SHE DID NOT CONTRIBUTE TO HER OWN RAPE

She was sexually assaulted. She was raped. Someone forced sex on her that she did not want. This man assaulted her - and NOTHING she did can change that. NOTHING she did, NO state she was in in any way encourages, influences or otherwise causes a man to sexually assault a woman. That's ENTIRELY in his court, his responsibility, his doing. She never asked to be raped. She never causes her rape. She never encourages her rapist to rape. She never brings rape upon herself. No matter how VULNERABLE she is to rape it is never ever her fault or her responsibility because she was targetted.

A WOMAN CAN NEVER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HER OWN RAPE. Even implying that she can be even in part be responsible for it is utterly without merit and revoltingly inexcusable.

She gets her drink spiked, and then is in trouble for having been drinking? That isn't a case of diminished capacity due to alcohol, that is diminished capacity due to being drugged so that she would be easier to control. But no, it is all her fault for having been in a situation with the evil of alcohol anywhere near her. Remind me, is alcohol legal where she lives? Or is it only allowed for the big brave menfolk?

Have to stop thinking about this before I start breaking furniture. I need my furniture.

Because she should be a pure teetotaler or she is a less than pure example of pristine womanhood, y'know *eye roll*
