Have you ever been date raped?

To the people who have marked on this on this poll that you believe your rape was your own fault; IT IS NOT. Words cannot describe how sorry I am for what was done to you, what was taken from you, but it was NOT YOUR FAULT.
It is NEVER A rape victims fault that they are raped! HOW DARE YOU even place this as an option! NEVER NEVER NEVER is it the victim's fault! SHAME ON YOU PEOPLE! Would you say it was your sister's fault if someone slipped something into her drink? Would it be your mother's fault if some douchebag decided to take advantage of her while she was in a vulnerable state? NO.
Would it be the person who decided, "hey, I'm going to put this dangerous substance into that innocent girl/boy's drink so that I can drag them off later and hurt them,"--YES. IT IS THEIR FAULT. THEY ARE THE ONE WHO PUT THE DRUG INTO THAT PERSONS DRINK, SPECIFICALLY SO THAT THEY COULD RAPE THEM LATER. IT IS NEVER THE VICTIMS FAULT THAT THEY ARE RAPED. Again, you people should be ashamed of yourselves. This is why our boys are being raised to think it's okay to hurt/rape/victimize women, because of shit like this. I hope you realize how sexist you come off as. THIS IS NOT OKAY. Thanks for contributing for the already overwhelming problem we face with rape culture in this country. Ignorant assholes.

I understand why somebody could think it is their fault, even though it is not. Men tend to pressure women for sex and they don't seem to realize it is pressure by repeatedly making comments, touching, kissing, or any sort of contact in which a woman must constantly be drawing the line. And they continue to try to push the line further and further and further and it's unacceptable. When women first draw the line and say that is as far as she wants to go at that point in time, and then a man pushes those boundaries, he is breaking the rules and purposely trying to put things into his favor. Regardless of whether a women eventually gives in to the pressure or if she thinks she may have said something to have been unclear, if she started out by saying NO, and he continued to push, then she had to somehow find the strength to push him off it is still not her fault.

Men need to learn to listen. No DOES mean NO. Not, keep asking until I'm tired of pushing you away. Sometimes women are afraid of ruining things completely and don't want to come across as being too cold shouldered. It's difficult to know where to draw the line. But we shouldn't be pressured into doing things we don't want to do just because we are afraid of complete rejection. Or sometimes, men may try to make women feel guilty for "teasing" them and not following through with sex. It's a basic manipulation strategy, but it works and it's a form of rape.

Being raped is never your fault. I think that option in the poll should be taken down.

As no one has written any, I think I can write something very close. I was having dinner alone on the town, and I drank a bottle of beer. Than I bought another one, and opened it and drank a little. But then I had to go to the 'restroom'(?), and when I came back, I saw nothing unusual. So i finished the bottle, and went straighAt home. Alredy at my front door I started to feel ill, so I grabbet a plastic pail(?), put a newspaper on the floor, and sort collapsed on my bed. I can describe it as a servere flu, but withot fever or sore throat. A couple of hours later, I was okey again , only little a little weak and shaky. I have no proof, of course, but at that time, you could buy atropine eyedrops over the counter in Poland, and some people travelled back and fort for smuggling alcohol and amphetamine. And the newsmedia had stories about people who collapsed in the restroom and was robbed. But I rather think Rohypnol, 'roofies'(?). and the industrial detergent GHB are more suitable for daterape. The victim of poisoning will often have a memory loss, and can't remember much of the night before. So, net time I'm drinking alone, I will bring my glass och bottle to the restroom. And, I am a man,187 cm, and I was in very good shape at the time and had a tolerance for alcohol - I mean. then I could drink quite a lot, so it is out of the question that I was just drunk on two small bottles of beer. The atropine is handy as it is a liquid, colorless and probaly without a telltale taste or smell. It is done in a second, you could hold the little pipette with the rubber blister hidden in your hand, an with one squeeze you could empty it in a glass or bottle. And, it is very dangerous, it is a potent poison taken orally. Bye - and from an old tv serial - "and - be carefull out there!"
