Obviously rape in any form is horribly wrong and one of the few things I believe capital punishment should be used for.
That said, I can say, in the same sense, "If I don't lock my car door, don't steal it", or, "If I leave my wallet on the counter, don't take my money." Am I at fault there? No, but I also know that there are plenty of a-holes ready and willing to take advantage of such a situation; all I'm saying is if you're gonna get drunk,stoned, etc. at a bar, party, etc. have someone sober w/ you. Let me repeat that a rape is never a woman's fault, but nor is a theft my fault if I leave my car door unlocked; however, common sense suggests that certain precautions should be taken. I really hope this doesn't get taken out of context, I just thought it should be said.
I should have you come talk to my students! We're reading Speak right now and they're just failing to see that rape is actually a serious subject. I've had to give detentions to people for making crude jokes about it :-(.
:( You know, there's actually a woman at Growing Strong who will come out and talk to classes. Her name's Sandy. I think Paula does education too. Give 'em a call, I'm sure they'd be glad to come out: 428-0770
