I am exhausted and itchy as motherfuckin' sin.  I may kill someone.

Another "Oh!" moment.

"the other good way i've seen it stated is that it pretty much doesn't matter what you are doing or wearing or drinking, only whether the people you're with are rapists or not."

This is an "Oh!" moment because once it's phrased like that, the question that immediately springs to my mind is, "How can I tell whether [men in any particular area] are rapists?"  And there's no good answer to that.  Since most rapes are in fact performed by intimates (friends, family, partners, &c), there's almost entirely no answer to that.  And it shortcuts many attempts at victim-blaming, or at least I'd hope so.

(Note: these are my "two two-hours-of-sleep sessions" thoughts.  It's possible I should be way more cynical.)
