After discussing the stresses of dating, Beier and Rix moved on to a more sensitive topic: how to define rape and survivors of rape. Beier and Rix acted out another scene where Beier's character, David, was Accused of raping a fictional female member of his squadron, Amy. As his character described the made-up scenario, it became quite evident that the situation had been confusing. In the made-up scenario, both characters had been drinking. The military code is that no one who has been drinking is able to give consent, and you cannot get consent from someone who is or has been drinking. The discussion also touched on how society •• reacts toward survivors of rape. The vast majority of rapes go unreported not only because of negative attention, but also because of the stereotype that victims engage in risky be;J havior and willingly place To make a -* themselves in vulnerable restricted report:^ positions.
