POLICE ADVISE FEMALES NOT TO PASS OUT IN STREET

Lefty blogger Kate in a post on rape the other day:

Newsflash. A woman is never responsible for being raped. Not one little bit. The responsibility for rape lies with the rapist. It doesn't matter what a woman wears, what she drinks, if she flirts with a man or not: if a man forces her to have sex against her will, it's RAPE. There are no extenuating circumstances. Consent is the only circumstance that matters.

Here's a Newsflash for Kate: women are sometimes at least partly to blame for being raped, at least according to the West Australian police:

Sgt Ian Clarke said girls were putting themselves in great danger by passing out in the street because of excessive alcohol consumption and hitch-hiking while drunk.

Dr Lisa Shannon, who works in the emergency department at Busselton hospital, said that on the first night of this year's celebrations she treated one alleged rape victim and another girl found unconscious with evidence of sexual activity that she could not remember.

Sen. Const. Grono said schoolies had to look after themselves by controlling alcohol consumption, introducing a buddy system and not placing themselves in dangerous situations.

It's a personal responsibility thing; no wonder lefties don't get it.
