Holy shit, I almost agreed with a post by Abacab.
Rape is a terrible thing and there is no excusing it - especially when said excuse hinges on what the victim was wearing - but it's hardly so common place that one should need to worry about it happening 'at any time'.
Yes, as a male, I don't have to constantly watch out for the dangers of predatory males (though it should be pointed out that cases of male rape do occur), but unsure as to why the same cannot be said of men worrying about other serious violent crimes. I could be set upon by one of the knife-wielding gangs of 15 year-olds that prowl the streets where I live, and I don't think it's too unfair to draw a comparison between being raped and being repeatedly stabbed or kicked to death. Each has their own drawbacks.
The statement of 'fact' that rape can occur 'at any time' is a bit iffy also. I hate to be one of her male friends spending time with her while she constantly watches my every move lest the reprehensible nature of my gender springs to the fore and I pounce on her in the middle of Taco Bell. Douchebags the majority may be, but few men are actual sex offenders.

Agree.
Most rape is actually date rape, as in you know the person somewhat and the person takes advantage of you wile you are drunk/high/vulnerable, and as such is the most prevalent and non-discussed form of rape in the United States. I however don't agree with the "always gotta watch my back for rapists" argument that has been presented because as it could happen it's more likely to occur in places where there is more civil unrest (Africa, South America, parts of Asia) because forcible and malicious forms of rape tend to be the by product of wartime and lawlessness.
So to recap...
Passing out drunk and getting fucked by some dude at a party is what most likely occurs in the U.S
Roving gangs of gun wielding rapist tends to isolate around third-world nations (Somalia, Dafur, Nicaragua, Eastern Europe etc.)
