A recent newspaper headline read: “Woman drank six Jagerbombs in ten minutes on the night she was raped and murdered”.

Feminists, who believe equality includes women being free to drink as much as they want, slammed this as victim blaming. In reality, it’s purely stating facts.

Another story that sticks vividly in my mind is a drunken Norwegian tourist who was viciously attacked twice in separate sexual assaults as she tried to make her way home after a boozy night out in London last year. The intoxicated 23-year-old had no idea the second attack had taken place until police carried out DNA tests.

Headlines repeatedly mention the amount of alcohol a woman has consumed before being assaulted with good reason — there’s a connection between alcohol and sexual violence. A report entitled Under The Influence by Liz Hall and Dr Antonia Quadara, published July 2014, states, “Alcohol is a feature in a high proportion of sexual assaults”.

McCusker Centre for Action on Alcohol and Youth at Curtin University states, “Alcohol consumption increases the risk of sexual assault, as victims become less able to detect dangerous situations”.

Attempting to perpetuate the “right to get drunk” is an alarming feminist fantasy obstructing vitally important education about the dangers of alcohol putting women’s safety at risk.

America’s National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) states researchers have used two main approaches to examine alcohol’s dominant role in sexual assault: surveys of victims and perpetrators of sexual assault, and lab studies which examine alcohol’s effects on human behaviour.

A common factor found in both perpetrators and victims is “general, heavy alcohol consumption” and “heavy drinkers who spend time in bars and at parties”. The logical conclusion is if you consume less alcohol and spend less time in bars and at parties, you lower your risk of sexual assault.

Alcohol is dangerous when consumed to excess; it causes violence on our streets and in homes. A report by the Centre for Alcohol Policy Research estimated alcohol is involved in up to half of partner violence in Australia.

Do those people have a right to get drunk? No, we’re all culpable for our behaviour despite consuming alcohol; ask Brock Turner, who rightly proved a man can never plead liquid courage. If you can’t guarantee your behaviour — or protect yourself when blotto — how can you have a right to get drunk?

Crucially, why don’t we want to educate young women about the dangers of alcohol? Health and safety are two of the most precious things any human can protect.

It seems modern feminists don’t take personal responsibility seriously. These deluded dictators assert we must focus on the perpetrator and insist it’s not illegal to drink alcohol; it’s illegal to rape.

However, reality is much more complex than left-wing slogan messaging. There are plenty of people who will take advantage of someone who is incapacitated and chances are, they’re not reading thought pieces, debating privilege or strategising victimhood before heading out.

Step off ‘Feminist Fantasy Island’, get streetwise, and start empowering women to make educated choices.
