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.

Male rape is one of the ultimate hidden crimes. Gods forgive us from producing a culture that makes people ashamed of being attacked

Form what I understand in this case her drunk was spiked which pretty much leaves little doubt in the matter

That assumes her drink was spiked by the same person who raped her, and with that intention - but that's actuaqlly a pretty big assumption.

I've had drinks 'spiked' by well-meaning friends who bought me doubles instead of single measures (and in Scotland, that meant 70ml of spirits per drink, nearly 3 times the strength of an English single 25ml measure). Their intention was simply to get me drunk to celebrate passing my exams. Luckily they were also sensible enough to escort me home, but if they'd left me in the pub with my head down the toilet I dread to think what might have happened. I get very amourous when I'm pissed, and someone could easily have taken advantage of that.

I was talking to one of my (former) roommates about male rape... evidently, according to US courts (/rolls eyes), male rape is nonexistent, because, as defined by the courts, rape is penetration of the vagina.

...

She and I both believe we need that shit changed, but with how backwards the US is... ::sighs:: If a man is forced against his will, that's still rape. He's still as violated as a woman.

...and this is why I would love to get an insertable quisinart for my junk. /generic angryface.
