[00:18:12] <exec> 08└─I was going to say the same. And the bias is going to be even more dramatic in cultures that view being a rape victim as infidelity/promiscuity for which the punishment lies somewhere between complete social exile and death.

[00:18:24] <exec> 08└─This type of posting is exactly what is fueling this problem. Nobody is suggesting that consent should be optional or that date rape drugs are okay. However, emphasizing a largely-non-existent problem causes people to overreact and behave irrationally.
