A common denominator in these cases is alcohol, often copious amounts, enough to render the young woman incapacitated. But a misplaced fear of blaming the victim has made it somehow unacceptable to warn inexperienced young women that when they get wasted, they are putting themselves in potential peril.

You know what this sounds like? Telling women to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for their actions and the situations they put themselves in.

Let’s be totally clear: Perpetrators are the ones responsible for committing their crimes, and they should be brought to justice. But we are failing to let women know that when they render themselves defenseless, terrible things can be done to them. Young women are getting a distorted message that their right to match men drink for drink is a feminist issue. The real feminist message should be that when you lose the ability to be responsible for yourself, you drastically increase the chances that you will attract the kinds of people who, shall we say, don’t have your best interest at heart. That’s not blaming the victim; that’s trying to prevent more victims.

So women drink (and act) like men in the name of feminism and equality eh. And maybe, just maybe there may be something wrong with that. Golly, this is news to me.

...by not telling them the truth—that they are responsible for keeping their wits about them—she worries that we are “infantilizing women.”

This is a FEMALE LAW PROFESSOR who agrees that women need to act like adults and accept responsibility rather than act like children who require coddling and supervision.

The biological reality is that women do not metabolize alcohol the same way as men, and that means drink for drink women will get drunker faster.

But...but...feminism says we're all equal!

But nothing is going to be as effective at preventing alcohol-facilitated assaults as a reduction in alcohol consumption. The 2009 campus sexual assault study, co-authored by Krebs, found campus alcohol education programs “seldom emphasize the important link” between women’s voluntary alcohol and drug use “and becoming a victim of sexual assault.

Again, female VOLUNTARY drinking and drug use is correlated to sexual assault.

One of the rape victims was a senior who had been to a school-sponsored celebration where the wine flowed, then everyone went to a bar to continue the festivities. Her memories are fragmentary after that, but a male classmate came by. She remembers running down the street with him, then being in bed, then waking up the next day with her clothes inside out. She was sickened at herself for what she thought was cheating on her longtime boyfriend and confessed her infidelity to him. Ultimately that led to their breakup.

Hold on. She was sickened for "what she though was cheating" ...what ELSE could it have been? Alpha fucks, beta bucks.

As she dealt with her shame and guilt, she talked to friends about that night, and the real story emerged. She was so intoxicated that her friends were worried about her when she stumbled out of the bar disoriented and without her shoes. They said they saw her being led away by the male classmate who was not drunk. She came to understand that she had been raped. “Since I realized it wasn’t my fault, I crawled out of a deep, dark hole,” she says. She also knew he’d done it before. “He had this reputation if you were going to be drunk around him, he was probably going to have sex with you.”

She realized it wasn't her fault. It wasn't her fault that she drank so much. It wasn't her fault that she went to the bar afterwards and drank even more. It wasn't her fault that she ran down the fucking street with him. Last I checked, victims don't run WITH their assailants. The only part that wasn't her fault were her friend's inability to act. They seemed to be sober enough to piece together that night and to tell her that she was leaving with a guy, yet not sober enough to go check up on their "friend"?

Colleges are supposed to be places where young people learn to be responsible for themselves. Lake says, “The biggest change in going to college is that you have to understand safety begins with you. For better or worse, fair or not, just or not, the consequences will fall on your head.”

Sadly this is not the case. Women are coddled through college. Coddled through their careers (trump card of sexism). Coddled by the majority of the dating world. They never learn responsibility and they never will. They will hamster away any incidents that occur because after all, those incidents are outliers in her world where she can do no wrong.
