I'm not particularly afraid of rape. Why? I know what situations one can put oneself in that (statistically) are opportune moments, AND I can fight like an angry buzzsaw.

But it's the awareness of fringe zones, the understanding of social behaviors that indicate a tendency to ignore female consent, and the avoidance of situations in which judgement and consent barriers are impaired or broken that give me this confidence. (If you think this means I only drink around people I would trust with a gun to my head, you're right).

This doesn't stop me from telling my son, "Don't fuck drunk people. They CANT give consent."
