After the discussion held in class Wednesday, I couldn't help but to post something. The whole issue of "she asks for it" really bothers me. No one, regardless of what they're wearing, how they look, how loud they are at a party, or how many drinks they had, asks to be raped.  I believe a person should be able to do whatever they want and shouldn't have to be worried about someone thinking they deserve to be raped. Granted at a party, it may not be  appropriate for a woman to act irresponsible because a woman, or everybody for that matter, should act in a manner which shows they have respect for themselves. That said, no one deserves to be raped, and it makes me cringe that so many people believe that. No one "asks for it". Point blank period.
