“Different safety reasons”. I like that. Allison doesn’t avoid drinking to protect herself, she avoids it to protect other people. Drunk person with super-strength would be scary.

Again, I know I’m a bit behind the curve on this one, but the girl in the pink top is right. It *is* a lot easier to live by those principles when you’re invincible. We on the left go in endless circles about ‘rape culture’ and ‘needing to teach men to respect women’ and so on, and while those things are very true and need talking about, there are still going to be rapists out there who aren’t going to not-rape no matter how hard Alison believes in living your life how you want. That is why self-defense courses, and being aware of your environment, and keeping track of your drink, and not getting drunk alone are real things that should be done. Not because rape is ever at all in any way justified, but because there’s a lot of people in the world who really, fundamentally don’t give a shit about how ’empowered’ you are.
