i totally agree...i figured no one actually meant "she totally deserved to be raped"! but you never know, some people do actually think (i went to college with some of these people) that if a girl goes to a party and drinks, if she gets taken advantage of then it is her own fault. a girl in one of my classes in college who was the victim of a date rape type situation made a very good point though. she said that in her situation looking back on it she knows that her choices influenced what happened and she had to take responsibility for those choices in order to deal with her situation. it's an interesting perspective that i had never thought of before
