A question in the wake of Steubenville
Mar. 19th, 2013 09:51 pmWhat would it take to make you commit rape?
Would you do it if you were drunk?
If she were drunk?
If she'd broken up with you or rejected you?
If she were unconscious or asleep?
If you thought you could get away with it?
If she had a bad reputation?
If she was in the wrong part of town?
If there were no witnesses?
If you're saying to yourself, "Hell no, I wouldn't rape a woman no matter what!"--then don't be one of the people who goes on and on about what the victim should have done differently.
The victim's not the problem.
Rapists are the problem.
(If you're saying to yourself, "Hell yes, sure I would--who wouldn't?"--then you are a rapist. And you are the problem.)
