Got slipped some GSB while you were out drinking? You shouldn't have been drinking in the first place.
Had more drinks than you could handle on a night out? See above.
Doesn't matter if you're an adult female, or just a child. You will be labeled a whore. You shouldn't have put yourself in that situation. What were you thinking? Oh, never mind. You obviously weren't.
Someplace I still have a copy of an affidavit floating around here of a person who raped a woman out with her friends on a girls night out. He and the bartender, a friend of his, slipped two of them some GSB and he the took two of them back to his place. Which he shared with his roommate, the bartender. One girl managed to get a call in to her husband, who came to save her. The other was taken to her home. Where she was anally raped by one of the men that night.
She pressed charges as soon as she got her senses back. He claimed she was a "party girl" who took GSB recreationly. She was willing and wanted it. He claimed he wasn't responsible because the place he took her was her own house, and how could he have found the lube in her bathroom cabinet if she hadn't told him where it was. Oddly enough, this willing person was raped in her living room because she was too heavy for him to carry to her bedroom. His words.
He got off.
