females drinking that is the problem.


55% of female students and 75% of male students involved in acquaintance rape admit to having been drinking or using drugs when the incident occurred.

But hey, lets blame women for their rape because they drank, absolving the men that raped when they were drinking.

So what you have here is that the woman are blamed for being raped, while the males use their drinking as an excuse to absolve themselves for their crime.

The focus has been on the females drinking, not the criminals.

Another survey of serial rapists, 33% admitted to drinking prior to the rape. 33% also admitted to drug use. The survey did not distinguish if there was some overlap between the alcohol/drug use.
