re: Can we talk about "Rape Culture?"

rape is about girls who fail to look out for themselves? ...

If a person leaves for vacation and leaves their house unsecured and it gets broken into while they are gone, they have been robbed. But they didn't use common sense in preventing a crime.

If a girl goes and gets blitz drunk at a frat party and is subsequently raped, she is still the victim of a crime. But it isn't stupid or sexist to note that some basic common sense could have lessened the likelihood of the crime (and none of that removes any culpability from the rapist).
