A few points: reasonable doubt isn't really the issue in arguments about consent following the intriduction of the Sexual Offences Act 2003, which requires (if memory serves) that the defendant had taken reasonable steps to establish consent.<BR/><BR/>As for the ""Don't tell your women friends how to be safe and avoid rape" meme, I think the point, as I suggested in my post, is that many of the "solutions" suggested here serve to control women (don't go out alone, stay in after dark, don't get drunk etc.). Furthermore, they're largely irrelevant. The vast majority of rapes are committed by people who knew the victim. The usual advice is based on the threat of "stranger rape."<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link btw.Disillusioned kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16161675225308027868noreply@blogger.com
