Just so you know, Serena Williams is not the first to give this so called "practical advice". Albeit, there are women who follow Serenas "practical advice" and STILL get raped. Truth is, practical advice on how not to get raped is not practical advice. Rapists will always find a way to seek out victims, alcohol or no alcohol.

Practical advice to ALL girls to PREVENT this from happening.

What's your advice to a young girl wanting to avoid being raped? "Tough, nothing you can do. It's gonna happen anyways"??

Houses get robbed anyways so don't lock your doors? That's your logic

Those were allegations, not proven facts. Witnesses say she did not have enough drinks in her system to pass out drunk. The victim also believes she was drugged.

All the more reason to be CAREFUL about who you hand out with and where you get your drinks from per Serena's advice

The victim was with people she thought were friends. Is she to blame because she made a mistake in judging a person's character or intentions?

Nobody said she was to blame.

See above. There IS NO practical advice to avoid being raped.

So just so you ladies know....you might as well unlock your doors at night and not worry about being out on the street late at night alone because you will get raped anyways and there is nothing you can do to contribute to your own safety? Serious? So you are saying DON'T try to prevent rape? That is asinine!

There IS, in fact, practical no brainer advice women can take to contribute to the prevention of being raped. You are wrong to suggest just because rapes do occur anyways women should not try to do anything to prevent them

Seriously?!? So girls going to a bar shouldn't take drinks from the bartender to avoid getting raped??? Girls should bring her own bottle of alcohol to avoid being raped???

Yes girls, you can trust the bartender to pour you a drink and not slip something into it according to Evenuntodeath. That's your great contribution?

Of course not. But how a girls dresses, how much she drinks are all the same sorry excuses people use to justify a girl getting raped.

Nobody mentioned how she dressed or how an other girl dressed. Nobody was justifying a girl getting raped. There is something wrong with you.

Again, see above. Women get raped regardless of where they are, who they're with, how much they're drinking, or how they're dressed.

So your great advice is....don't worry about it ladies because you will get raped anyways? Nothing you can do? And you express contempt and lies for anyone that wants to try to prevent these crimes?

Its time to stop examining women's behavior to find ways women can prevent their rape and start making rapists take FULL responsibility for their actions.

Nobody said women deserved it. You must live in a make believe world because THIS world is DANGEROUS and you can cut the heads off of a rapist and that won't change the nature of this world and the need to be cautious about where and who and what.

I'm a man and I take precautions in certain locations and at certain times of the day because I know how dangerous it is. Only a fool would through reason and caution to the wind and not seek to protect their own lives some how.
