In the story, the girls put themselves in a high-risk situation, that led to getting drugged and getting uncomfortable video shot of them.
What high risk situation? The girls in the story went on holiday and were having fun in holiday resorts. Are you proposing that young women should not travel on their own and engage in recreational activities?
Of course. I mean, women just need to be prepared for these sorts of possibilities. It's also why they should pay for extra insurance to cover aborting rape babies - I have a spare tired for my car!

Admittedly, I haven't listened to this since it came out, and maybe not closely enough then. But I guess I assumed the part where the GGI director approaches the girls in a club was patterned after the way I've been led to believe GGW does it, which is to approach the already inebriated, lubricate them more, and start suggesting progressively more risque activities until the 'actresses' find themselves making out with other 'actresses' in the shower of an R.V.
The decision to take certain risks through the evening was made before leaving the hotel, or it wasn't, which is a decision in itself and makes one no less responsible.
I'm going to go out drinking - RISK LEVEL: 30% - ACCEPTABLE
I'm going to talk to strangers that chat me up at the bar - RISK LEVEL: 40% - WARNING
If I like said stranger, I could be open to more intimate contact - RISK LEVEL: 50% - HOPE YOU DON'T END UP IN A DITCH
We all decide every moment whether the potential risks of a situation are worth the potential rewards. Sometimes we press on even when the red lights start flashing. What happened to them is not their fault, but most of the risk of it could have been removed by going roller skating and having a Pepsi. Right? If you don't understand that, I hope you never have daughters.
And untwist your panties, because it wasn't a sexist comment. I used to hang with a kid who got rolled outside a bar by a chick who did the same thing to him but took him outside to "meet her friends" after spotting the $50 in his wallet. When he tells the story, the first thing he says is "I should have been more careful" not "America's a free country and men are liberated so I should be able to wave money around in a public place and expect only to be showered in adoration and sparkly unicorn farts."
