“Trials [of sexual offenders] often hinge not on the behavior of the defendant, but rather on whether the woman did enough to protect herself from his advances.”

So remember girls, don’t drink anything on dates because consuming alcohol means any following sexual assault is your fault. Hell, just don’t go on dates. Even better, stop leaving your house. Even better than that, just stop being women! Come on, with your curves and delicate facial features—you know you were asking for it.

This is beyond troubling. This is sickening.

Wow, are we still stuck in an era where prejudice so calloused is allowed to override all reason and logic? A glaring lack of justice here indeed. There is nothing a man nor a woman can do to deserve rape. Ever. And for this jury to think that they have a command of what is considered appropriate behavior of a DRUGGED RAPE VICTIM is just outrageous.
