When people choose to drink an excessive amount of alcohol and that leads to them being rapped, that is only their fault. Now when it happens totally sober then that is when it should be reported and people should go to jail for doing such a morally wrong thing. It is something nobody should experience and can mentally affect someones life. But I agree with Prof. LeClair that probaly half of the total number of rapes arent even reported which is sad.

I agree that many rapes aren't reported, I still don't think that it is ever the girl's fault. She might be drunk but it is still never the fault of the person that was raped. The problem lies when girls don't know exactly what happened and therefore call it rape. People just need to be responsible all stay in control of their actions when they are drinking. No matter their gender.

Half of the rapes arent reported because they are probably not rapes, they are regrets. Women sometimes put themselves in situations they dont want to be in in, and then afterwards regret it. Ive never drank before but i was told that people still know whats going on even when they are intoxicated, so if women are led by their emotions i feel deep dpwn they wanted it to happen. I believe alcohol is the truth drank. When people drank thats when they say what they mean and mean what they say or do.

In most cases whether the girl is drunk or sober, the fault lies with the guy when it comes to rape. We all are capable of making are own choices and choosing our actions, theres not some outside influence which guys cant control that makes them rape girls. If a girl is raped by a guy its because he chose to which makes him responsible. If a girl is really trashed and flirting with guys and gets raped, I would say then she is partially responsible because she has control over how much she has to drink but cant take full fault because as I said before guys can still make choices and don't have to take advantage of drunk girls. Its possible for the girl to take majority of the fault if she leads a guy on and continues to cooperate into the bedroom but then in the morning decided it was a bad idea or was drunk and didnt remember leading him on so she claims to have been raped in order to save herself/identity from embarrassment, ridicule, etc.. So its possible for the girl to be at fault. In the general sense or rape, a guy forcing sex on a girl, the guy is definitly at fault. But I do not think of rape as a general thing, there are hundreds of scenarios with many different variables to go through so the guy can't always be blamed.
