I'm gonna bite the bullet and say that i'm with gbaji on this one.
Let me clarify:
As far as real rape goes, and i'll explain the distinction in a moment, there is absolutely no issue. The attacker is 100% at fault, and should not be allowed in public again. Ever. Maybe we should start caneing people. Right in the ****.
However, those statistics are absolute ********* so for all events legally defined as rape, there are definately cases where the so-called-victim is very slightly, or partially, or mostly, or even fully at fault.
Now don't get me wrong. If a woman is forced into a sexual act that she doesn't want, it's rape. But the legal definitions of rape and sexual assault have become so vague and all-encompassing over the last 10-20 years that it's really just stupid.
If you're under the influence, you cannot legally give consent to ANYTHING. Therefore, even if you're having sex with your wife of 40 years, if you do it while she's drunk, you just raped her, legally speaking. Its the cases like this that inflate those statistics so incredibly much.
It's the cases like this, where the events of the night that can legally be classified as rape, do not have purely one-sided blame attached.
I don't think gbaji was saying that the woman who gets randomly attacked in the alley by some random vicious rapist and sexually pummelled against her will for hours is at fault.
It's the girl that shows up at her x-boyfriend's apartment drunk as hell literally asking for sex that's the one that gets the shared blame. If you ask her then, she's giving consent, but because she's drunk, she can't legally give consent, so it's legally rape.
