OH, you forgot to mention the "victim" drank herself unconscious.
HAR HAR (not sure what that has to do with the rape part but...) HAR HAR
I agree, it's awful.
However, when kids drink with reckless abandon, worse things happen. I'm not sure that this guy was in complete control of his actions either.
We tend to blame boys, and absolve girls of all responsibility. Let's just be glad no one was driving.

I can tell you thought it was awful from your laughing. She was unconscious so she's not at fault for him being a rapist. Whether or not he was in complete control doesn't mean jack. He was in control enough to rape her behind a dumpster and run when caught.
But everyone runs when they don't know what they are doing right? Riiight
I was laughing because the way the story is presented, it is one sided.
He was WRONG.
I agree with you.
That does not however absolve her of bad decision making and immorality of her actions. Men and women are different. When alcohol is thrown into the mix, things get all thrown out of whack. Folks don't think correctly, everything is foggy. Assigning culpability becomes a dicey situation, and folks like you wish to politicize it.
You wish to apply the law and the same standards of behavior we have for sober folks, to the drunken haze that is college party life. Sorry, I just don't think it should work that way.
These kids need to grow up and not put themselves in those positions if they are going to drink. Girls, as well as boys.
What the girl did was stupid. There is no doubt of that. But when I hear people say "She got shitfaced drunk, what did she expect?", I want to answer A Hangover. She expected a hangover. She did not expect to be raped.
Now, having acknowledged that her behavior was stupid does NOT, in any way shape or form, excuse the fact that he raped her. Most of us make stupid decisions occasionally. But few of us actually rape an unconscious woman.
