Cher and her friends spent all their time shopping, doing makeovers and chasing after guys.

But there are people who say that is the women’s fault. E.J. Graff asks, “Why was she out so late at night, provoking men into rage by being openly female?” People blame women for being out so late and night, and it seems like women want men to enjoy them.
There are many situations and causes that lead to date rape. Parties that include alcohol or drugs or being alone and unsupervised on a date with a person someone just met.
