The Date Rape Myth
Rape is a nasty subject, but the truth is the media loves to hate the male gender and they also love salacious stories. But a recent study shows that most women who claim they were slipped date rape drugs were just plain drunk.
Women who claim to be victims of ‘date-rape’ drugs such as Rohypnol have in fact been rendered helpless by binge-drinking, says a study by doctors.
They found no evidence that any woman seeking help from emergency doctors because their drinks were allegedly spiked had actually been given these drugs.
Around one in five tested positive for recreational drugs while two-thirds had been drinking heavily.
The findings further erode the theory that there is widespread use of Rohypnol and GHB, another drug said to be favoured by predatory rapists.
This was a UK study, but I’m sure the same would be true if it was done here. People like to blame outside things for their own stupidity. And our culture has become increasingly misandronistic.
If someone gets falling down drunk, they should be surprised if they get jacked. Especially if they do it in public, or in a pick up bar.
