Stand Up Against Drug-Facilitated Rape: Post Your Responses

Drug-facilitated sexual assault - whether willingly ingested or involuntarily dosed - is a really difficult problem to address. Although we may rarely see someone slip a drug and have an opportunity to interevene, it is more likely that we might just hear them joking about it.

As a recent Dateline story shows, some bystanders actually encourage using drugs to incapacitate someone, maybe seeing it as a “joke.” Hearing someone joking about drugging or intoxicating someone to have sex with them isn’t very funny, but it can be difficult to know how else to respond.

Doin’ It Well wants to hear your ideas and stories of standing up against actual drug-facilitated sexual assault or even joking comments about it. We will be publishing a column of the best - and most realistic - responses of our readers! Please send us your witty responses or actual stories of telling some one that intoxicating someone to have sex isn’t okay.
