Well put, Henway. It is the women who suffer the worst consequences of drunken promiscuity, other than the false charge of rape, which falls almost exclusively on men. It is sound advise to counsel a young woman to protect herself, just as it is equally good to advise a young man to avoid situations that create the greatest risk of false accusations. It is the kind of advice one would give to a son or daughter, (or younger brother or sister.) Mary is caught up in the ideology of radical feminism that tells us that there are no difference between men and women, other that those that are “artificial” and “culturally imposed.” It is a subset of a greater radical belief in the perfectability of the species through political fiat. The evidence of everyday experience tells us differently.
