. Then she started her whole blaming women for being raped by drunk thing and I stopped reading her.

Wait... what?! Yikes. Is that why there's a new person?



I love advice columns too, and I actually wish I knew what the new ones are. More modern takes that are well done.

Yeah, same.

That became one of her pet things: blaming women and also suggesting it wasn't really rape if she was drunk. And complaining that colleges were too proactive with investigating rape on their campuses.

That was Emily Yoffe. She's been doing that for a couple years now. I don't know if that's the reason she left, but she went to another publication. Slate's new person is Melody something or other. She's a lesbian and younger than Emily was, so I think she brings a new perspective that is interesting. Her writing style is very different, but I like it.

I don't think she was blaming women for their own rapes, as much as she was just saying to use common sense and not get blackout drunk at a frat party. I don't think she was saying anyone got what they deserved.

And honestly, if two people are drunk and they fuck, that is kind of a gray area.

Re: Advice bloggers/columnists

If they're both drunk, then it is gray. If she's the only one drunk or he's much less drunk than her (he's aware enough to consent, she isn't), then it is rape.

I think that was what she was trying to do maybe. But some of the stuff she wrote definitely veered into blaming women. She did say some stuff to the affect that women are responsible if they get drunk and then get raped.
