In reply to the discussion: DU Poll on Attitudes toward Rape [View all]Prophet 451
(9,796 posts)74. None of them
Number four demonstrates making a poor decision (getting passing out drunk is almost always a bad idea) but that's all and a poor decision doesn't mean the victim is responsible for being raped, in whole or in part.
Sex without consent (or where either party is incapable of giving consent) is both morally wrong and a crime. Always. It is morally wrong for a man to rape a woman, for a man to rape a man, for a woman to rape a man (yes, that's possible) or for a woman to rape a woman.
And I'm a guy, if it matters.

If she says "No" or "Stop" etc at any time and he continues - it's rape.

No victim is ever responsible for "forced, unwanted sex against" their will.
