I'm not sure it's worth getting involved in the "facts" of this case based on one news report. Or the facts that can be read between the lines?
As to the general question of women drunk in public, I would always tell my sister and her friends not to get to drunk on nights out. That was because I knew for a fact there were low life, rapist, scum out there that would take advantage of them given the chance. It never entered my head that if my sister, drank too much, dressed up for a night out or talked with men she was asking to be raped and really had her self to blame. Some of the opinions expressed in this thread are as shocking as they are ill-informed. It's 2007 fellas not 1907.

It's a touchy subject though I must say. As for the quote "He gave the constable bourbon after she had drank at least four cans of beer, making her drunker as the day went on, the court heard." I hardly see that as substantial in any way. She could have asked for the drink, or he could have just passed it to her with no bad intentions.

It doesn't matter if she was throwing back jim beam and cola's all day, then got on her knees and gave him a gobble before she left, he's still got no right to be messing around with her while she's asleep.
If one of your wives/girlfriends/daughters was drinking and flirting with a guy at a party, then later that night he dropped into your home, found her asleep, pulled her pants down to have a fiddle what would you do? Politely ask him to leave and then tell her she brought in on herself? If i'm at a party with a drunken girl thats been flirting with me all day and then passes out, is it ok for me to feel her up? More importantly, is it her fault for putting ideas into my head? Of course everyone needs to be responsible for their own actions, but based on that link she's done nothing wrong other than flirt with a guy thats not her boyfriend. FFS she left the party and was asleep at her friends place. I'm sure his story will probably be in line with what some of you guys are suggesting but that doesn't make it any more truthful than hers. With the information given in that link, what exactly makes you so sure that it was consentual (sp) sex? I know i said i'd leave it alone but i am really really disappointed with some of the reactions on here, i thought you guys were better than that. I'm hardly a feminist or anything but i've at least got enough respect for women to judge an incident like this based on the information given instead of my opinions on the way some modern women behave. |

Lol.
I think we should stop protecting and looking for excuses if females do the wrong thing and something happens to them. It's like saying "oh she can be drunk but not expect anything to happen". That's not how it works anymore. Everyone should be responsible for their own actions. This is just as stupid as putting blame on Car drivers when a pedestrian just jumps out on the road.

Ken,
I can see where you're coming from and I agree to a few points you raise. However if she didn't flirt or kiss or accept alcohol, etc this may not have happened. This is far too common these days and people have to think ahead if something they do now will affect what happens in the near future. It's common sense. I don't blame her for the actual "event" but I blame her for the "consequence" of her "actions" earlier.

Ok, i will go as far as to say that there are cases where women have done things that make them more of a target but i can't see how that makes it their fault or how it applies to this incident. If she didn't flirt, kiss or accept alcohol she may as well have stayed at home. What is the point of people going to parties etc... if they can't have a good time without worrying about this kind of thing happening.
Quote:
I just can't see how anything she's done (once again, according to that link) makes her even partially responsible for being raped or 'felt up' or whatever he allegedly did. I've been to heaps of parties where women drink and flirt etc... are they all partially at fault if they get raped? To me its like someone running a red light, hitting someone who had the right of way, and trying to blame them for being in the wrong spot at the wrong time. I'm going to have to stop soon, i'm running out of automotive themed euphemisms ![]() |

I see you're point, and IF that's the case, I do agree, what he did was really wrong. But read my post earlier about the experience i've had. I just find it hard to believe 100% that he was kissing her, then got her pants half off and then started touching her inappropriately before she even woke up. I feel there's much more to the story than what's being told.

I was so drunk once that a friend threw a bucket of water on me and i didn't wake up. If (for some very strange reason) he wanted to take my pants off i wouldn't have noticed.
Also even if they were seeing each other on the side, he's still done the wrong thing and its still an assault. I'm not trying to change anyones point of view, i just think you're all crazy. |

The point we're trying to make, which I think you're missing, is IF the facts have been reported correctly, what has occurred is both wrong and deplorable.
The issue that a few people seem to have is the validity of her version of events. Remember, in every contested court case there has to be at least one person lying. How do we know its the accused? The facts can't be taken as gospal in this instance, in my opinion.

As BA turbs said, if the report is true, then what he did is just plain wrong. But that article has a MASSIVE bias and there's definitely more to it IMO.

Well some people seem to be suggesting that if i woman kisses and flirts with a man, then she is partially to blame if he rapes her later on...
I know women that behave in the same way as the woman in that link is described and they are certainly not sluts. |

The story in the link sounds like a reporter's account of the opening statements of both sides of a court case. To me it sounded very much like the man was guilty but obviously not everyone sees it the same way.
If more information comes out, and its proven that it was in fact consenting sex (etc..) my opinions about women being allowed to flirt with others without getting raped won't change. EDIT: I don't think she is but if its proven that she is lying, she deserves to be punished as far as the law allows and certainly isn't what i would consider to be a good enough person to be a police officer. (insert jokes about cops being jerks here) |

Men's rights are slipping each time an article like this comes up. I'm not defending any scum at all. In fact I'm against lenient sentencing that we seem to have here. However you need to learn how to spell. Let's not wear seat belts or drive to the limits, because after all - someone else should be to blame for our own misfortunes? If women were more responsible with alcohol, they would not be vulnerable to such shortcomings in the parties that they attend. I am not at all talking about rapes that occur without any involvement from the female first. I am talking about girls who kiss, flirt, touch, tease and provoke a situation that should never happen at all. By the way, I don't claim to have any credibility at all. I just deal with the facts in front of me.

I cannot see any differance between what you have posted in this thread and the ramblings of Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali's. The Sheik was criticised by all members of the Austrailian public. You are out of touch

Bobman, I'd like to think that most of what you have written is being misinterpreted and that you are not just blaming the sleeping woman. I take it that you are saying that what she has done is let her guard down and has been exploited for it. Further, the reason she, if totally innocent, could still take 1% of the blame is that she should be more aware of the environment she lives in and, being a cop, should be aware that there are dirty raping bastards out there who will drug and take advantage of women. I am assuming that the following is an example of where you are coming from: "Bobman wouldn't show a heap of people his safe, leave the door open and expect nothing to go missing." If that's your approach then yeah, I can understand it. The biggest thing in this woman's defence though is that she removed herself from the situation by going to a girlfriends house to sleep in a safe place. Given that she was drunk and made her way there, there is little comeback for the guy when he went out of his way to find her and carry things on. If he had gone home, like a good little boy, and not been led by his cheating little pecker, he would not be in the situation he is in now - regardless of her incitement or lack thereof. If she was an equal player in the game, the courts will determine that for us. |

The male officer was in control of his actions. The female officer was not.
It's a clear case to me? The pig took advantage of her whilst she was incapacitated |

The thing that worries me with women consuming a lot of alcohol, is that generally if they are VERY forward, flirty and make suggestive moves (or more), almost every guy in the building wants something to do with her (sounds harsh, but that seems the case most nights I go out). If a guy does the same, he's usually considered a perv, sleeze etc by the majority of ladies there. Now, i'm not debating whether that's fair or not (I couldn't really care about it), BUT with the general attitude of most guys towards scantily clad women who are drunk whilst being flirty with them, there can come some very bad actions and consequences.

I'm just speaking from experience. I usually go out about 3 times a week. And the ladies who are wearing little clothing and happy to drink a lot (and make a scene of it) definitely get the most attention. I'm not saying from me, i've no interest in girls like that, but they certainly attract a lot of attention from a lot of other guys.

Some of the ladies you are talking about may show poor taste in your opinion, but it's a free country. Quote:
Not you, but "other" guys have no control when confronted by "the ladies who are wearing little clothing and happy to drink a lot". The "very bad actions and consequences", that can come are the fault of the women. Sorry to keep going on about it, but how does this attitude differ from Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali's. Remember the Sheik?. He was defending the actions of those pack rapists in Sydney. You may remember what the court thought of the idea the victims brought on the attacks themselves. And what all media and any right minded person thought of the Sheiks defence; Quote:
Just my opinion of course.

Yes it's Australia, and a "free" country. But that doesn't change the fact that their are sick minded people out there. And I, along with others in this thread, weren't discussing actual rape victims, but people who have sexual relations then feel guilty and call rape. If you read what I wrote earlier, it's happened to me with a girl I was with, except it was consensual and she was feeling guilty afterwards. How is that fair on the other guy, just because she couldn't face up to her actions?

I'm not interested in "the facts" of the case reported in the first post. Neither am I interested in "the facts" you claim to have regarding a friend of yours. Except to say your friend never took her complaint to the police or faced a cross-examination in a court. You can be sure the policewomen knew what she was in for in court. If you or anyone else seriously believe women make false claims of rape all the time, go and sit through a rape trial.
