Nothing spoils the morning lie-in more than hearing coverage of that story. I'm so sorry that this young girl has been scarred through the rape itself and the abuse heaped on her afterwards by all the slut-shaming and victim-blaming idiots.
*nods* It's really disgusting and appalling how many people try to blame the victim for her alcohol (over)consumption or her mode of dress or her location. Give me a break on the "she drank too much" or "she wore next to nothing" or "she shouldn't have been at that bar" excuses. No means no means no. It doesn't matter if you're at a bar or a sci-fi con or a kink con. Consent counts.
