I know how you feel but there is only one side of the story in that article.

Every time rape and SA in general is the topic at least one answer always begin with "but"
, usually continuing with an attempt to derail the discussion into how rape is the victim's fault/responsibility. I see this thread has both already.
As another poster pointed out, though, I don't know what looking at this from "both sides" would achieve. Sure there's always a deeper layer of circumstances and human psyche and anecdotes, but a girl was raped, and then had her photo spread, and then committed suicide.
This is tragic and disgusting. Whatever the "other side" might be, it's guaranteed not to be sufficient to mitigate anything. It's like asking for the "other side" of a story about a suicide bomber blowing up a school bus full of elementary school children.

Women who go out and get drunk then get raped must undertand that they are responsible for their actions and it is they who have put themselves in that situation....Sorry to bring up the opinions the OP has previously stated on this forum regarding this subject but it strikes me as highly hypocritical.

Does this apply to everyone who is drunk, or just women who are raped? If I see you in a bar drunk, am I allowed to beat you up, pickpocket you or wreck your car?

If I recall correctly it also covers women who walk into a bar wearing a "sexy" dress

Fail, both on a moral and
factual basis. Go sit in the naughty corner until you're sorry
