MTV's Real World has a bullshit clause that's along the lines of, "If you agree to be on this show and are subsequently molested, raped, or get HIV or somethin', it ain't our fault 'cus you signed this shit, bitch." I imagine a show like Big Brother would have some hella warped contract to cover themselves too.
Second, even if she was passed out drunk, that dude still shouldn't have raped her. WHAT THE HELL
Third, I don't understand why people always blame the victim when there's a rape. "She was drunk. She got in to bed with him. She faked it." I'm sorry, but if a woman claims that she has been raped, people should believe her. Jesus, this is why women don't report rapes, because people shame them rather the rapist.
Patriarchy's a bitch.
oh and what about the person she is accusing of rape? are they not entitled to a presumption of innocence?
To me, this situation is a grey area. I'm less inclined to feel sorry for women who put themselves in situations(getting passed out drunk in a houseparty, leading dudes on etc) where the likelihood of them getting 'raped' is high.
