Faux Newz: Rape Victims Have A 'Personal Responsibility' To Prevent Their Own Rape [View all]

One of the co-hosts of the Fox News show "Outnumbered" said on Wednesday that women in college need to take more "personal responsibility" to protect themselves from rape.

Harris Faulkner's comments came as part of a discussion about remarks made recently by a former George Washington University president, who said women need to be "trained not to drink in excess" so they can defend themselves against rape.

"If you know that this exists on campus, and it does unfortunately all over the country. All over the world," she said. "It is what it is what it is. To put yourself in a vulnerable position and to then be, you know, drinking on top of that and not looking out, you know, it's the opposite of good sense."
