An idiot says "A girl is at a party, doing drugs with nothing but frat boys she doesn't know, and she gets raped, why isn't she responsible for being in the dangerous situation she put herself in?"
So a woman is not allowed to expect not to be raped, no matter what she does? The rapist is the one who is responsible not her.
Nobody said that. In fact the opposite. Speaking for myself I am saying a girl in that situation will have to meet an extremely high evidentiary burden to prove those claims and if she does castrate him. She has responsibility for her actions just as he does. If the girls lied because they are gold diggers he bears a lot of responsibility for surrounding himself with hoes.
Why is saying that everyone needs to be personally responsible controversial. I am quite sure if I had my life savings in a suitcase in the back seat of a car and I parked it in San Francisco while I went to eat and it got smashed and grabbed then would you feel sorry for me or would you think I was stupid?
You are comparing a non personal non violent crime, broken window, money stolen, to a violent personal assault. I can assume leaving money in plain view in a public space may be stolen. However attending a frat party or going to a bar, even if wearing a short skirt, should not have the assumption that a man cannot control himself, and will violently take something not offered or given to him.
So crimes don’t count if nobody is physically hurt. Want to stick with that?

I guess you missed where I labeled both a crime? There is a punishment for both.
However, trying to equate your car broken into because you left money on the seat, with a woman being raped because she was at a frat party or a bar? Ummm..smdh

I'd argue that modern women and girls have been more conditioned to be more vigilant then at any other time in history. Hell, there's an entire industry built around trying to prevent things like date rape. Not to mention that women have developed an entire code among themselves and bartenders to help warn/let them know they're in trouble.
Instead of conditioning women they can't trust the intentions of any man maybe we should be teaching our men that there is no situation where sexual assault is an appropriate response.
At the end of the day, when a woman is sexually victimized there is only one responsible party and that person is not the victim.
The fact that Tate has such a large following among teenage boys shows that a lot of parents are still failing to instill the most basic sense of morality when it comes to sex in our males.

You're simplifying the situation to the extreme. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, most victims of sex trafficking are trafficked by their partner.
Tate has outright stated he has a number of exes working for him.
Guys like Tate use their notoriety and wealth to draw women in, they provide them everything they could want, they distance them from their support network, and before they know it this woman is completely reliant on the guy. This guy is then able to manipulate the woman into doing whatever they want while they move on to the next victim.

And I should be able to walk up to a sitting girl pull my wanger out and swing it around in front of her without getting slapped or arrested, but hey both lines sound kind of ridiculous.

You are confusing what I am saying, and people do that every time in this discussion I am NOT BLAMING HER, I am saying different choices will mitigate the risk a woman has, those are two different statements.
I talked to my wife about this subject, she told me what her dad told her, dont drink with people you do not know and if your going to drink (even with people you know) make sure someone is there that you trust your life to.
Old fashioned approach but it worked.

Why should my daughter suffer because you can't teach your son that rape is bad?

Do you mind me asking how old you and your wife are?
In Romania they can hold you while they look and decide.
Don’t base another country’s law on ours.
