This is the original article on the subject.

Here are a couple of other thoughts on the article:

Note the lifetime rates of sexual assault in all categories for women.

Schrodinger's rapist isn't a call to arms. It isn't a call to hate men, it isn't trying to say that all men are rapists. It's trying to explain that the culture women live in is a rape culture, a culture of fear, where their safety feels at question when they are alone outside, even if they actually are safe. It's saying that women are held responsible for their rapes entirely too much, and told their safety is their responsibility - that men are base creatures who can't help themselves. And that means, that women have to be on guard around men they don't know. They don't know the man, and statistically there is a good chance that they might be hurt.

Another side note: Think about some of the responses to the Stubenville rape case. I think the most common one I saw was "What did she expect, getting that drunk?" Think about that statement for the moment. It says that women getting drunk forfeit the rights to bodily autonomy. That men a) can't help raping a drunk woman, and b) that they are in some way right to do so. Think about the scenario from the point of a man getting drunk and being raped. The scenarios are equivalent, and they are both completely wrong. No one deserves someone to harm them just because they are incapable of defending themselves. I hope I'm not the only one who finds the idea that any man who would see a passed out woman can't help but rape her is insulting to men.

Finally, I'll leave you with an article about consent and why a lack of no doesn't mean yes.

Feel free to ask questions if you're still confused.
