I don't have the citations handy, but between 8 - 14% of men have committed at least one rape (apparently, if privately asked by another male who doesn't use the word "rape" but asks if they've forced a woman to have sex, they will freely admit it) and according to RAINN about 98% of rapes go unprosecuted.

A good start…

Basically, it's a form of this (I urge you to read the whole thing):

Ummm...I'm not saying that moderation in drinking will stop rapes completely. The fact is that a woman is objectively more likely to be raped when she is blotto. That is a statistical fact. There is no similar statistical correlation between rape and what a victim is wearing.

Well, since I don't disagree with the vast majority of what you've said, I feel I must have misrepresented my position at some point if you think I feel differently. I agree that the discussion needs to be expanded beyond women and rape.

Except I'm not saying "but" and then contradicting myself. I'm saying that males are responsible, and women can also take steps to help protect themselves while this is the case.

This study actually means little to nothing. Studying the aggression of hipsters and Canadians is like testing how loudly a worm barks.

Try reading my posts, rather than just ignoring them and posting your auto-response:

All good points. So good, in fact, they will never make it out of the grays.

No you didn't deserve it. Neither did I deserve the things that happened to me. However, those things haven't happened to me in a very long time. That's because I changed some of the ways I used to do things. Are there things you can change now that would make it less likely that this will happen to you again in the…

I have no such agenda. I am sorry for whatever has driven you to this perception. My point was a narrow one: that telling women to be cautious is still valuable and likely to reduce rapes and that changing the culture won't have a sufficient effect on the number of rapes because rape has existed in pretty much every…

Huh? I'm using "gluttonous" in the context of criticizing our consumer culture that encourages over-consumption of everything. Not as a pejorative against rape victims.

I think his point is that drunkenness definitely increases sexual aggression in men (and women), as it increases aggression in general in all forms. That's why people fight when they're drunk as well. This is a politically motivated pseudo scientific study designed to come to a preconceived conclusion.

Please actually listen to what I'm saying: YES, WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE ENORMOUS PROBLEMS WITH MALE CULTURE. But the FACT is that when a woman is very drunk she is statistically more likely to become a victim. Just like someone who isn't wearing a seat belt is more likely to be a victim, and just like…

Yes, and the punishment for a lack of prudence should be a $20 fine collected by legitimate authorities, not the slight chance of a violent assault by a sexually maladjusted vigilante.

I am not "telling women they shouldn't get drunk in public." You are trying to put those words in my mouth. What I wrote was BE CAREFUL ABOUT GETTING DRUNK IN PUBLIC, not that they shouldn't ever do it.

Doesn't this idea that alcohol is not a cause of aggression, hurt the feminist idea of "rape culture" and victim blaming? If booze aren't causing men to be sexually aggressive, then a lot of men, by nature, are sexually aggressive. In other words, rapists aren't created, they simply exist, e.g. like lightning.

Sorry if it sounds like I am saying that crime prevention is useless, it is not. I spent a few years prosecuting sex crimes crimes against children, so I am both aware that (1) there is a lot of value in pursuing perpetrators and (2) the criminal law is not any individual person's best defense against sexual assault.

The study doesn't say that creepers won't come up to you if you are sober. It says the chances of it happening are highly increased if you are visibly drunk.

me too. I cant count how many times i have followed a man who has clearly decided to follow a woman he is harassing off of public transport

The point is that we can't all jump onto this and hold it as truth. This could be a jumping off point for many more, better designed studies. The results of this study are only validated after we see a consensus in multiple studies. Single, badly designed studies are full of bias and lead to shitty understandings of…
