I'd be inclined to agree. If somebody is pissed out of their head and unsteady on their feet, then they are a more viable target for somebody out to rape. Sheerly because their coordination is impaired, judgement is off, they are less likely to be vigilant and they are likely to be disinhibited and more trusting as a result, allowing a predator to get in closer before attacking.
On a strictly biological basis, it makes sense. If it were to be put in a less emotionally laden context, say I am to fight twice, the same opponent. One on one. First time I'm stone cold sober, there is a good chance of the assailant ending up seriously damaged. If I were force fed a pint of vodka, chances are I'd hit the deck like a sack of potatoes, unless I got a lucky crippling shot in first by chance. Without the impairment I've as good a chance as any at taking down the opponent. With, I'm screwed, unless I happen by sheer chance, to get in a lucky tendon-avulsing blow to the knee or something like that by just chance.
Its not going to be different for the rape victim or potential rape victim; and there are pieces of flesh in people-suits who would undoubtedly go out looking for a drunk potential victim. Just to make the rapist's time of it easier. Disgusting, but true. There are a lot of fucking shitbags about. It doesn't mean every man is one of them, nor does it mean everyone is even a potential rapist. But women (the most likely to be raped, compared to men by far) should take extra care when they are drunk, knowing that such impairment is imparted by consuming large amounts of alcohol, and knowing that such scum as will take advantage are around. I'd suggest travelling in groups personally, that way, even if the girls are drunk, ten on one is probably going to mean the wouldbe rapist is driven off, and potentially, hopefully, the recipient of serious bodily harm. You'd have to have a group of REALLLLY pissed women for ten on one to be even odds most likely.
Against a pack of sober fighters then its likely messy unless the number is relatively small and the single fighter prepared to not think twice about using strikes which break ribs, shatter kneecaps, rip tendons from bones, shove fingers in eyes, reach down trousers to grab nuts, twist and rip. If your willing to fight dirty (and in a self-defense situation its the only way to go. There is no such thing to consider as the queensberry rules, or 'no below the belt' when someone is trying to mug you, kick your head in and leave you for dead for personal amusement. You just do it, no fucking about, and make sure the first fuck to swing a punch ends up cripped severely, and likely as not, permanently. No worrying about morals, no wasting time, just jump the fuck in and smash a bottle in the pricks eyes, kick him in the nuts and knee him in the face. If you want to walk away, you can't afford to mess about worrying about oh dear, is my assailant going to be able to walk again at some point in life, or is he going to end up a quadriplegic fed through a stomach-tube)
Think some really badly drunk girl is going to be alert, mind on the surroundings she is in and of who is in them? it is less likely and if an attacker is detected first their chance of managing to abduct, rape, rob, assault etc. is far higher.
The more focus and self-control any person has against any attack, the less likely the attacker is to end up executing their attack with success.
Doesn't make it that any woman DESERVES to be raped. But it does increase the likelihood of somebody succeeding in doing so, being fucked up. Of course nobody deserves to be raped, not unless they are some cunt like oprah or jenny mccarthy. And like THAT is going to happen, nobody could beg somebody THAT hard as to deter the rapist from running away screaming whilst clawing at their eyes. with fingers dipped in some hastily begged bleach. But it IS logical that the less able to defend themselves somebody is, the more likely they will come to harm should somebody seek to do so.
