There is no doubt a lot of victim blaming going on in the world (like in Egypt at the moment), but there will also be comments about whether or not people have placed themselves in danger that will look like victim blaming, even if they aren't. A lot of people probably do victim blaming unintentionally. That is, they will say it was stupid of someone to place themselves in a situation in which they got raped, but when asked whether or not the victim is to be held accountable for the crime done against him/her, they would say no.
However, there's a fine line here that people should be aware of regarding responsibility and accountability. Some of the comments I've seen on the internet leads me to think that a lot more people should reflect a bit on this. If this thread lets people do that, then that's great, even if we generally seem to agree on the answer to the question posed - that victims are not responsible.

I've had sex and not remembered having it the day after. I have no idea what the girl made of it at the time. Now if she felt the same, do I think that makes me a rapist? No. I've also been drunk, not remembered and gone back and not had sex and I've done the same whether I was buzzing or sober and I know I'm not someone who will ever "force it". The whole intoxication thing is very vague with the law, especially if both partners are hammered and I don't really get it. |

Is it vague? I thought it just automatically sided with the female. If both partners are hammered and she wakes up the next morning and say that she was raped then you are screwed basically.

There is just no way to qualify what a person is feeling or was feeling or what they may or may not remember in a way that should hold its own in court imo. Standard. |

A girl actually tried to do this to me before but she was too thick to get her story straight. I got off
Still got arrested, detained, interviewed, fingerprints and all that stuff. I saw her not long after and just laughed in her face before getting on with my life. |

It's almost enough to turn a man gay, and if every woman looked like Sabine Lisicki I would have to seriously consider my options... |
