PBS: Judicial nominee to replace Kavanaugh draws scrutiny for comments on date rape
Neomi Rao suggested that intoxicated women were partly responsible for date rape.
PBS writes:
In a 1994 opinion column, Rao wrote: “Unless someone made her drinks undetectably strong or forced them down her throat, a woman, like a man, decides when and how much to drink. And if she drinks to the point where she can no longer choose, well, getting to that point was a part of her choice.”
A good way to avoid a potential rape “is to stay reasonably sober,” Rao added.
