Allie, the Mainstream Broadsheet Feminists have declared it wrong to tell people they were or are stupid
http://www.google.com/search?q=slut+shaming+victim+blaming
If you try to advise a woman that she isn't being particularly wise in her choices, you are victim blaming and slut shaming.
Google it. It's one of Amanda Marcotte's and many others' favorite tactics. It is used to shift the argument from the responsibility a person has to take reasonable steps to avoid risks, and place the responsibility back on society and men in particular.
Luckily for us all, neither Tracy Clark-Flory nor our other Broadsheet authors buy into that sort of shit.
HealthySkeptic, I'll have you know I scored in the upper 80s on my last IQ test, so I think the joke is on you.

@ Allie
Let me ask you this. I walk my dog at night often. My own neighborhood is pretty nice, but a couple of streets over, not so nice. There may be bad people from there who can come into my neighborhood.
A few blocks away lives a rich sexual predator.
As little as two years ago there was a series of rapes of elderly women in my neighborhood, even though it is a nicer part of town.
So when I walk my dog at night, I am taking a bit of risk. However, it is extremely hot this time of year in Texas and walking after dark is pleasant for both me and the dog, who has extremely thick hair and hates the heat.
Are you saying that if I should get raped, I have some culpability because I choose to walk my dog at night?
(Sorry, but I don't get your drunk driver analogy, since the driver is committing a crime but a rape victim is not.)

Also, some people don't seem to know what a hook up is.
It is not necessarily sexual intercourse or anal or oral sex, nor is it activity that is intended to lead to these, although it can. It is by its nature consensual, but at any point, a person can say no.
These people would seem to be authorities:

Since some people seem to be upset by this, allow me to ask if they oppose anyone, anywhere doing this?

It's a myth that women get away with lighter sentences for satutory rape
http://www.slate.com/id/2134158/
They don't. They just usually commit less serious offences than the men do, so their sentences are lighter. Women offenders have fewer victims and are less likely to use threats to either molest or keep the molestation secret. When they do act like the men, they get the same time.

Rape Lite Deserves Light Punishment
A man goes to the police station and claims his date robbed him. Some of his money, he SAYS, is missing. He can’t remember if he gave her money or not, though. He was too drunk to remember. He wants the woman charged with monetary murderer; her name published, not his; and if convicted, jailed for many years…hopefully gang-raped their by lesbians.
The cops laugh themselves silly.
Which is what normal people should to per feminist “rape hysteria.”
Fembots cluck about "casual hookups, mixed signals, drugs, and alcohol" then say it’s obvious that men are rapists. Insane.
Take that old bugbear: "No means no." That’s as useless as saying it’s illegal to yell Fire! in a crowded theatre. It depends on if there’s a fire or not. Similarly, it matters what question the No answered. For example, “Should I stop?”
Also, since most communication is non-verbal, what if she’s naked, wet, legs open, smiling coyly and purring, “No…you bad boy!”?
As for saying it “simply is rape if the woman has not said ‘yes’, which -- true -- will usually be said implicitly/indirectly, but mostly shouldn’t be hard to understand.” Then such obvious, easily-understood, implicit misunderstandings shouldn’t result in black/white severe punishments. Unless, of course, one thinks men are non-feeling, inferior beings.
Feminists are really saying young women need duennas. That female Harvard MBAs need chaperones. And specially-monitored dorms. Maybe even cowbells around there necks to alert others that The Irresponsible are coming.
How does getting blotto absolve women of anything? Does it works with drunk driving charges? I can see it now: “Your honor, how others responded to my careering back and forth across the highways is not MY responsibility. Plus I said No to that tree.”
You’d think feminists would start treating men and women equally. You’d think they’d begin to urge females to respect men…just like they insist men respect women. But no. They treat young men as adults and adult women as children.
What, too, is with “sinking dicks”? Is that comparable to “drying up snatches” or “kaboshing clits”? Oh, I forgot: Feminists feel free to mock men and their genitalia with impunity.
As for “gray rape” sounding as plausible as being "a little pregnant”, it's not either/or. Like drinking, there’s a continuum. You can be a bit tipsy, mildly buzzed, four sheets to the wind, puking, or passed out. Penalties should match. Plus men should be able to bring rape charges against women for attempted lewinskis, etc. sought without permission.
.Young ladies who get hammered are not “aiding in their own rapes.” They are having irresponsible sex. A choice. To say lots of women “feel it's perfectly okay to go out looking for a hookup” without also insisting they act responsibly is, well, feminist.
Again, imagine feminists saying women who drive drunk are not to be held accountable!
Wait: They do!
A woman admitted she “fooled around” and was “drifting in and out of consciousness.” She, however, KNOWS she was raped. How so? Suppose she’d told her mother, “It’s not my fault. I passed out and someone took your car keys. I think.”
Was the man drunk, too? Why is he more responsible than her? Maybe in her stupor she grabbed his penis without permission…or sat atop him without asking. (Yes, I know: Men are eager to have sex with anything that squats to pee. And blacks are lazy. And women can’t do math. Etc.)
Let’s update rape laws:
First, until a verdict is issued, both parties are named or neither is.
Second, let’s agree that sex is not a “favor” women bestow on men. Do men give women permission to breathe?
Third, let’s create a new crime: “date murder.” Any female who kills a man’s budget by ordering an expensive meal without putting out poonani will be treated like a “gray killer.”
Fourth, let’s socialize men to not pay for dates until women put out.
Fifth, if a man and women have drunken sex, they have to split the bar tab.
Look, this is not Victorian England. Women are soldiers, show coochies to paparazzi, talk about douching/tampons/vaginal itching during dinner-time TV ads. Why indulge their hysteria when a penis or 3 touches their vayjays?
It’s wearisome hearing supposedly feisty, brave, strong, independent, etc. women mewl like babies. No one condones violent sexual assault (to either sex!). What irks is feminists treating drunken-hookups like rape. They aren’t. They are DRUNKEN HOOKUPS. They are events where misunderstandings and hurt feelings can occur to both parties, equally.
What next, NOW activists insisting that white women get lifelong disability payments when black men “look” at them?
Enough of fembotulism’s “pitiable semantic gymnastics”!
