There have lately been a sickening slew of news reports about the increasing rates of drunken rape on college campuses. Or rather, the worse news is that it is not really increasing, per se. There is simply more media attention being paid towards this.
Apparently, this is not a random isolated event in which the victim truly was minding her own damn business and going about her day and then some sick ahole ambushed her and rdep her.
So, wait a minute. You are saying this is not a one-time thing, as in, "she's genuinely a good, responsible person and she's not usually like this and she just happened to get drunk once and had the horrible luck of being a crime victim?" You're telling me the unpleasant truth is that these are habitual drunkards that constantly check their good judgment at the door?
You are telling me that these are just a bunch of dumb lazy drunk party btces who just sit around and get drunk at places inhabited by frat aholes -- and then magically expect everyone *else* to be on their best behavior???
So the ugly truth is that these females freely and carelessly engage in this behavior with no regard to their liver and kidney health, and no regard to the horrible danger that is imminent.
So the horrid truth is that these females have a laissez-faire attitude towards their own safety and well-being, with no regard to the fact that perhaps there might not be an altruistic knight in shining armour that might rescue her at this party where people are generally aholes.
This changes the dialogue dramatically.
Females, stop it. Stop putting yourself in harm's way. Yes, I am calling out on you to make sure you don't get yourself raped.
We are not talking about a female who was just minding her own business and was assaulted through no fault of her own. We are not talking about a female who was walking home alone at night. We are not talking about a girl who decided to take a shortcut through the dark woods, and who fell victim to a sick f*ck that, out of the blue, decided to commit a gruesome crime.
No. We are talking about females that actively, voluntarily seek out a dangerous, high-risk situation of their own free will. And then these innocent, drunken little angels choose to participate, of their own free will, in activities that obliterate their judgment, their awareness of their surroundings, and their ability to react in a situation.
You are placing all the hopes of your own life [[[__you are placing a wager on whether your life will be safe from harm -- upon betting statistics that are not in favor of your desired outcome.]]]
You are forgoing your own responsibility to yourself to be ever-vigilant and prudent about your own safety and well-being.
You are relying entirely on other people to be careful and cautious and being concerned with whether or not they are acting in a moral, respectful manner. While conveniently, casually disregarding the fact that maybe you should act in a moral, respectful manner.
Oh. So **they** are supposed to care about your safety and health and well-being, but you are not supposed to care about your **own** safety and health and well-being?
If they are expected to be socially conscious, then you must be socially conscious also. Don't walk into the fraakin lion's den as a poor, angelic partier drunkard and then complain that some horrifying shtt went down. If they have to be held to that high standard, which they should be, then you have to be held to that high standard also.
There might not be anyone that will stop a potential sick criminal from seeing the path of no resistance, i.e., a passed-out drunk party chik, and_
Forgoing the possibility of a separate rescuer: the potentially sick criminal might not have a sudden [[flare, bout, jump___]]]] of conscience and think, "wait maybe I shouldn't commit a crime."

Yes, I know I'm being harsh, but that's because I care about the movement too much to just let it falter. I care about women too much to just accept that this dredge is part of modern life.

Just so we're clear, this is still rape. That fact is unchanged. This is still rape. The sick asshole did not obtain the female's consent. He should be arrested and brought up on charges. I have zero sympathy for him. Frat boys do genuinely appear to be assholes, and the sooner they learn that having binge-drinking cattle calls are a nightmare blight on society, the better.
It's just that now, I confess that I have very little sympathy for the rpee victim also. Sure, she should receive counseling if she feels the need, and whatever community support she can get. But honestly, I do not feel that wave of revulsion and sharp burn of anger that I normally feel any time I hear about a ripp victim on the news.
Remember how, a loooong time ago, I said that the modern dating scene is crap? And remember how an even loooonger time ago, I observed that the same schitt keeps repeating itself over and over and over again? This is yet another demonstration of that.
I can't believe people still think that getting a bunch of spoiled brats that are [[[gointo college just to drink and party
