I agree. I understand that yeah, some girls cry rape to make themselves feel better or protect themselves from the wrath of their boyfriends, but this is definitely not true in all cases. I have been in situations where I've seen completely sober guys clinging to absolutely wasted girls and definitely taking advantage of them. Yeah, the girls shouldn't have gotten so drunk in the first place BUT that doesn't mean guys are allowed to go and use it to their advantage or say it was the girls fault. If a girl's ability to consent is compromised by alcohol, drugs etc. then they shouldn't be touched.
That picture makes me sick because I have seen girls who were unsuccessfully trying to get guys to leave them alone when they were drunk. Just this past August I was out in Greece with a group of people, and one of the girls ended up having a bit too much to drink. When we found her she was literally trying to fight off a group of guys who were obviously sober and trying to get her out on her own. Its really fucking scary. She didn't want the attention from those guys, and most definitely wasn't "asking for it," She just wanted to have a good time out with her friends but ended up having a bunch of creeps go after her because they saw she had been drinking.
The majority of us make the mistake of drinking too much at least once in our lives. Guys and girls both do it. The shitty thing is, there really isn't the same risk for a guy to be "taken advantage" of as a girl would be. Blaming these women for their rape's or whatever went down is pretty cruel, especially since we all have no prior knowledge of what exactly happened. How do you know that girl didn't have her drink drugged, or that the guy she was with knew she was too drunk to consent? What if he just pushed her into a stairwell when she was drunk and didn't listen to her when she asked him to stop? Its pretty hard for a girl to fight off a rapist when sober, so I can imagine its pretty much next to impossible when she's hammered.
We can't deny that women are raped and taken advantage of, especially while at parties. Yeah, there are definitely some situations in which the woman DID consent and tried to frame the guy. But more often than not they legitimately have reasons to cry rape and in that I support them 100%. Yeah, you can blame the girl for being too drunk or whatever, and call her a slut, but that doesn't mean she deserves to have her body violated. Shit happens, and people DO drink too much. Overall, I think this SlutWalk or whatever is a good thing, and it raises awareness about the fact that we as a society have a job to do. If you see a girl who has a guy clinging too her and is obviously too fucked up to make a proper decision or it looks like he is taking advantage of her then DO SOMETHING and get her out of that situation. Guys should learn that if a girl is too drunk to walk straight then maybe they shouldn't try to get with her. If a girl you know is acting out of character and is really messed up consider the fact that she might've been drugged. That stuff happens, and that photoshopped picture disgusts me.
