"Rape isn’t a ‘natural hazard’ like a cliff edge that women must be careful to avoid when drunk - it is a wilful act of violence perpetrated by another human being and the responsibility lies with the perpetrator, not the victim. Drinking alcohol is not illegal or wrong. Perpetrators are in control of their actions. A woman is never responsible for a man raping her. But society’s morals and logic currently display a yogic ability to bend over backwards to accommodate, accept and normalise the reality of violence against women."
