This is a recent police poster campaign to highlight the link between drinking too much alcohol and getting raped:

Is This Offensive? _61987137_rapeposter

It has now been removed because the Worcestershire Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Centre claimed the Safe Night Out campaign blamed victims who had been drinking for sexual assault.

Now everyone knows you don't get raped just because you get pissed on a Saturday night, why does some group or other always have to take everything so literally? But the truth of the matter is you are much more likely to get raped if you're pissed out of your skull and don't know your own name.

I wouldn't wish rape on anyone, but if you choose to get so drunk you have to take some responsibility. It seems in this day and age everyone is a victim, regardless of if they brought it on themselves.

How does getting pissed mean they bring it on themselves?

They don't, but they don't help themselves. You are much less likely to get raped if you stay at home and drink Vimto.

Just to clarify, when you ask 'Is This Offensive?' in the title of the thread, are you referring to the poster or your opinion?

Largehat, this is not a thread for you, please move on.

If we get drunk do we have to take responsibility for putting ourselves in danger? That is the question.

i don't find it offensive, girls need to know the dangers - sometimes things do need to be spelled out and made obvious. of course you're at more risk of something bad happening if you're drunk.

It's not rape if some bint agrees to come home with me, no matter how pissed she is. Too many girls cry rape in the cold light of day.

It's either cry rape or admit they chose to go home with you. No one is going to admit to that.

Exactly my thoughts on the subject. Intoxicated females having a good time are a target for predators, i see it all the time in my line of work. So many times i see half naked girls walking drunk home on thier own and they dont seem bothered that they could be attacked. Of course they are not asking to be raped or assaulted but they are putting themselves at risk. My wife argues that she has the right to dress provocatively get drunk and walk home without being attacked, that thinking baffles me.I have watched blokes target girls and signal to each other when they are leaving.

I don't see a problem with it tbh. People who go out and have a few drinks are not the target of the poster, it's the people who have 19 drinks before they go out 19 different drinks during the night out and end up in the gutter that are.
