blacked out they make stupid decisions. >> we like to drink together. a couple that drinks together stays together. i think it depends on the girl. she goes home with a guy and she wakes up in the morning mornings i made a big mistake. at the time maybe she did blackout and have too much alcohol. and at the time you wanted to do what you did. and she wakes up and she is embarrassed and she calls her parents and hey look this happened. >> it can be on the guys too. if a guy is going to go out and date rape a girl. >> that is messed up. i know i'm never going to go out and rape a girl. >> one of my biggest fears is to wake up and [bleep]. >> and made horrible life changes. >> and if she was like [bleep]. i don't know who you are.

link between binge drinking and sexual assault on ca campus. they have come up with the same result if study of the women on college campuses that were sexually assault the 82 % of them say alcohol played a role. it's how we talk about it and how we educate girls and men. i thought what this video captured perfectly. if a woman is intoxicated and a man is not, and then she is not in the position to consent that is sexual assault. that is rape. when both parties are as intoxicated as those kids we saw in the video. that is where the problem comes. that is what we haven't figured about. >> there is concern about blame. people are putting greater responsibility on the woman than the guy. >> i disagree with that analysis i would argue with the case with both of them being intoxicated

we put it on the male. if two people are so intoxicated and they are blacked out and they wake up in the morning and their clothes are not on, the one that is the medical and -- male and weighs more. did he remember what happened? does she remember what happened. >> i think the larger issue that will come out of this. i'm doing moor more reporting os story. i think the larger conversation we should have as a culture how bi binge drinking took over our college campuses. it was not always this way. in the last 20 years we saw binge drinking jump 56%. that is what i'm working on reporting now how we got hire and ho -- here and how we turn e clock back. it's the fresh men anmen and sos

that find themselves at the bad end of things. >> can you talk about the kind of reaction you have received when you have come out provocative comments. >> yes a lot of women get mad at me. what is interesting is that a lot of mom's don't. what is tending to happen is a lot of younger women who have just gotten out of college or are there now an sa and say howe you blame young women or young victims. and i have ea o have other people say you have said it to my daughter better than i could have. no jerks i lock my doors just in case. this is the same type of advice i try to give to young women. you have a right to be safe where every you are. there are precautions you can take. i'm not the only person that feels that way.

the first thing he said was "what were you wearing?" i couldn't believe my father said that. every reaction that they had made it worse. it was not "are you okay we still love you." you grow up as a little girl and people tell you that they will protects you. fathers and brothers and men in your life. but the reality is when it happens people just shrug and say, well you were drunk,, what do you want us to do? >> we'll continue our focus on sexuasexual assaults all this ws america tonight looks at sex crimes on campus at 9:00 p.m. eastern on each night. on friday we'll have a 90 minute program sex crimes on campus an american town hall. that is friday night. >> and ahead here tonight, the campaign for some new votes.
