Here's a breakdown of the stats. Pay especial attention to the one that states that getting drunk makes it your fault for getting raped.

Devrushka decides to send an e-mail to her male friends for raising awareness about how rape really is a crime and not just a bit of fun that got out

First link & Second link: Actually, the second link covered what I was thinking for the percentage that was claiming that the woman is partially (or at all) responsible. Namely the 'cover every inch of your body' and 'don't smile'/flirting one.

"...and then, when I don't respond, that he can kick it up a notch and call me a dyke and call my mother a whore, and I'd like to spin around and grab him by the earlobe and hiss into his face, "Don't FUCKING talk about my mother," and then rip his earlobe clean off his head and throw it into the gutter and make him beg to keep the other one..."

Indeed.

"...But a lot of us, a lot of us, heard that Lorena Bobbit sliced her abusive husband's dick off and thought to ourselves, "Good for her." A lot of us said it out loud. Please understand, I wouldn't advocate cutting an abusive husband's dick off, primarily because it'll just make things worse for you in the long run. But please understand also that I can sympathize with the instinct..."

I remember my reactions. Each one. Including the one I have to thid day. Shame that she had to go that far. Shame that it happens in the first place. More than a shame, but to keep me from being any more wordy, I'll stick with that.

And, I was going to quote that last part as well, but you already did.

More things brought to my attention to thank you for.
