I’ll get flamed for this, but any woman who voluntarily takes drugs or drinks herself into a stupor is voluntarily giving up control of the situation. Stupidity has consequences.

I don’t feel quite that strongly about it, but I tend to err in that direction.

I understand that argument, you don’t ever blame the victim, however exposing yourself to risk is a risky thing to do...

In Islam they blame the victim IN ORDER TO excuse the wrongdoer. In a sane society we punish the criminal reguardless of if the victim was exposing themselves to risk or not. The victim that exposed themselves to risk become cautionary tales to others so they do not become victims later themselves...

So no, if you argument was that because she was “asking for it” we should let the scum off scott free, then I would flame you... But you don’t seem to be arguing for that.

The consequence of stupidity should not be an excuse for wrongdoers to continue their wrongdoing...

Too often liberal academia and media conflate “acknowledging the risks” with the idiot argument of “blaming the victim” when it is not.

So I will not flame you for acknoledging the risks.

I feel the same way about women who jog around with music blaring in their ear buds. You can't be aware of what's going on around you and by the time someone grabs you, it's too late to avoid it. Until that one really bad thing happens, young women seem to think it won't happen to them.

You’re correct that stupidity has consequences. It does not and should not exonerate a criminal.

drinks herself into a stupor
My college roommate had a rule that she insisted all her friends follow. No one drinks alone. There has to be one (somewhat) sober girlfriend who is in charge of the safety of friends who are drinking. "Everyone comes home together no matter what."

One night it was my turn to be the DD, and she got pretty wasted. I had to pull her off of a guy who thought for sure he was going to get laid that night. He and I almost got into a fist fight around closing time. I told him, "You don't understand. I promised I'd follow her drinking rules."
