This is her quote.

At the same time, a good way to avoid a potential date rape is to stay reasonably sober. And if she drinks to the point where she can no longer choose, well, getting to that point was part of her choice.” She concluded, “Implying that a drunk woman has no control of her actions, but that a drunk man does strips women of all moral responsibility.”

This shit just makes me come unglued. Victim blaming is when somebody gets raped and then is told "that was your fault". That is completely different than saying "If you don't drink so much, your odds of getting raped will be less". To equate the two is beyond stupid. And it happens so frequently in this country.

It's like telling somebody they should lock their car if they don't want something to get stolen out of it....apparently that must be victim blaming too. Or is it only when it applies to crimes against women?

Seriously, fuck people who say this shit.

Yes, it is a choice to drink that much. Pointing that out is still just saying "control what you can control". Because ultimately, you can't control what other people do only what you do. It's simply good advice, and thinking in that manner is a common trait among successful people.
