As a former JAG prosecutor, I agree wholeheartedly.
To put a fine point on it, in today’s politically correct Army, a woman who is engaged in consensual sex with a man can demand that he stop mid-thrust, and if he finishes that one thrust before pulling out, she will be taen seriously if she claims she was raped by virtue of that final half thrust.
I had to give sexual harassment briefings to the entire post twice a year. Much of the breifings were discussion of reducing the risk of being a victim. When I presented the data indicating that the most common factors among sexual assault victims were sexually suggestive behavior, sexually suggestive clothing, and intoxication, one butchy soldier complained that she had a right to act, dress and drink how and when she wanted.
I nodded in agreement as I explained that just as a soldier increases his risk of dying in a fatal accident caused by someone else by exercising his legal right to drive as fast as he wishes on the autobahn in Germany (where we were), so too does a woman increase her risk of being raped by someone else by exercising her legal right to dress and act like a drunken slut (I was a bit more diplomatic). Because the command cares about you, it will never stop presenting information for those who wish to take steps to reduce their risk of being a victim of fatal car accident or a rape.

Ya, I hear ya. And, you sure got it right. I used to be fond of using this example when confronted with the “I should be able to dress like....”. Used to say, “Well, I should be able to put on a ballerina outfit and walk down the streets of East St. Louis, but, would that be a SMART thing for me to do?”
LOL! No one EVER was able to refute my logic. LMAO! (I’m sure a few troops walked out of my office with a mental picture that haunts them to this day. ;) )
