Janie... I don't think you understand my meaning.

I wasn't talking about someone stumbling out on to the motorway. I was referring to someone, who knowing the risks, walks out either drunk or with their eyes shut. That person is responsible for their own safety.

Any person who gets drunk and into the house/bed of a stranger is likewise responsible for their own safety.

Saying that does not excuse the crime of rape, but does illustrate the need for a degree of personal responsibility.
