What Makes A Slut? The Only Rule, It Seems, Is Being Female - Guardian

[R B Garr]

31. You are so right.

It does seem like it has gotten worse. For many years now, especially since the date rape drugs started being reported on in more depth, it just seems like women have borne the brunt of that cultural phenomenon of gaining access to women through drugging them, even (and especially) out in public at bars where they are already receptive to being social with their friends and meeting new people. So now if you want to dress up and go out for drinks, if something untoward happens that is out of your control, it's blamed on the woman.

Anyway, that's how it's been a realization for me that it's gotten worse over a period of years. I used to dress up and go bar hopping in my younger days, but I can't even imagine it now with a risk of someone slipping you a drug that completely disables you. Scary, yet women are subjected to this and are labeled sluts because of their choice to socialize in those settings.
