So do I believe that if some girl goes to a frat party with a hardened resolve to drink way too much, with a t-shirt on that says ‘No Means No,’ but after three beers she takes that shirt off because all the boys wanted her to, and then the next thing she knows she wakes up in the morning having been raped . . . do I somehow believe that is not rape? No, of course it is rape. It is the rape of a dope, but it is still a rape. Should the man or men involved be punished? Of course they should, however unlikely it is that they will be in this life. But they will be dealt with at some point. God is not mocked.

“But if a girl is really tall for her age and really really ridiculously good-looking — she and her parents are to blame for a seminary student being a major hornbasket. And *maybe, technically* he’s a criminal, but at least he’s not a pedophile.”
Also, the foolish parents didn’t bear responsibility for allowing their daughter to get lit at a frat party, or for raising a daughter who gets lit at a frat party. And regarding Roman Polanski, Wilson didn’t comment about the idiot parents who allowed their 13-year-old to spend an afternoon unsupervised at a Hollywood skank’s house. I suppose if he shacked up with them and went to Greyfriars it would be different.
PS: Thanks again, Tess, for bailing me out.
