Yes, it is everyones responsibility to keep themselves safe. And once again I ask if rape is suitable punishment for beeing foolish.

I would also like to go back to an earlier point I could have made a bit clearer.

A woman murders her husband because if he did not she would have to suffer a life of endless abuse and she was fearful of her own life. Mitigating circumstances.

A man robs a shop because he has no money and his children are starving. Mitgating circumstances.

A man forces a woman to have sex against her will because..? Are there ever any mitigating circumstances? If the man did not have sex with her would he die? Would his children starve?

I would like to hear from anyone who believes that rape can ever be justified. And if there is not any justification - Why even enquire into what the woman was wearing, where she was and whether she was drunk?

Why, in other words, does it matter whether the victim was being irresponsible or not?

Cheers
