Thanks for posting all those links, and your own thoughts on it too. I've been reading this whole debate and it's been amazing and angry-making by turns.
Last year there was a headline in the local rag here, just about the time university ends for the summer, saying something along the lines of police warning graduates not to get too drunk and to not go off with strange men. I looked at it and thought 'where's the headline telling men not to take advantage of drunk girls, or not to rape them'?
To me, that just typifies the huge chasm of understanding between women and men on this issue. We're made to feel we cause these situations, and men are allowed to think that it's not their responsibility.
