Telling certain men that they shouldn't rape is like telling people "Just say no to drugs." Unless those men have some mental problem, they already know it's wrong to fuck a woman who's passed out; they just do it anyway.

I look at it like STD prevention. In an ideal world, everyone with an STD would be up front about it before they have sex with someone. But there are people with STDs who don't care about the person they're fucking. They just want to get laid and damn the consequences. That's why it's up to each of us who isn't in a monogamous relationship to take precautions before having sex with someone we don't know very well.

Of course it's the rapist's fault if someone gets raped. But we have to look out for ourselves and our friends to cut down the risks of it happening. If you want to get shitfaced, go out with friends you know and trust; just don't do it around a bunch of strangers.
