“The best at impulse control”. Really

I couldn’t help but rape her, your honor, she was drunk and scantily clad.

If your daughter was raped while drunk, I suppose you would say that, hey she was asking for it.

You really don't bother reading what people are saying, do you?

My point, which I made quite directly, is that anyone who commits an assault is responsible for their actions, and that responsibility is not mitigated by the behavior of the woman in how she dresses or if she is drunk.

HOWEVER, the behavior of the woman can and does affect how much risk she exposes herself to. And she should be made aware of the risk and how she can minimize or reduce that risk by changes in her behavior.

Just how does a desire to teach women how to minimize their risk of becoming a victim equate to "blaming the victim"?

And recognizing that young men having impulse control problems increases the risk of bad behavior does not equate to absolving them of responsibility for that bad behavior.
