Also, the belief that women deserve or want to be raped because they act or dress in certain ways is not true. Women who drink excessively should be protected from, not made targets of, sexual assault. Desire may not be controllable, but actions are. Responsible men should prevent their less knowledgeable brothers from having sex with someone who is unable to give consent due to alcohol, drugs, age, or other mental or physical conditions. Protect yourself by being aware of the many situations in which sexual aggression may take place.
Most rapes occur while one or both parties are under the influence of mind-altering substances.
Be aware that predators look for inebriated people to attack, and often push drinks or drugs on their targets. Likewise, acknowledge potentially dangerous situations. Your room, apartment, upstairs at the fraternity house, and cars are places to avoid being alone with anyone until you know and trust him or her. Finally, trust your instincts. It's wiser to risk hurting someone's feelings by getting out of a situation quickly rather than being raped because you were too polite.
