I really like that 'this is not an invitation to rape me' site
I especially like the 'what you can do' section on the 'drink' page. Have you read it Bumbley? ...
Challenge the notion that a woman who has been drinking must share some responsibility for an assault against her ? drinking is not a crime ? rape is
Attribute responsibility for rape to those perpetrate it, not to those who they assault
Don?t think in terms of analogies ? a woman who has been drinking is not ?an unlocked car?, ?a purse sticking out of a back pocket?, or any other imagined incitement to criminal activity ? she is not a potential crime scene but a woman, and entitled to the same freedoms and respect as any man
Reject any suggestion that alcohol consumption somehow muddies the waters around consent: on the contrary ? any question that a woman?s intoxication poses even the smallest degree of uncertainty about her capacity to consent should deter any effort to claim or secure it
Stop insisting that women have a duty to protect themselves and insist instead that it is men who must ensure that their behaviour does not make that protection necessary
Ask yourself some questions
Why is it up to women to remain vigilant and keep themselves safe when it is so often men who make them unsafe?
How can we justify a double standard where drink operates simultaneously as something that makes women vulnerable but excuses the actions of men who assault them?
Why do discussions around so-called ?date rape? drugs so often focus around chemical compounds such as Rohypnol and GHB and routinely overlook the most prevalent drug of all: alcohol?
Do we really think that women who have been drinking should be less entitled to the full protection of the law (and less entitled to full compensation when that law is broken by someone else)?
