Stacey Dash Calls Rape Victims 'Bad Girls,' Andrea Tantaros Calls Them 'Babies' on 'Outnumbered' Fox News TV Show [Watch]
Actress-turned-Fox News contributor Stacey Dash recently made comments regarding the UVA ban prohibiting sorority members from partying at fraternity parties and has garnered immense backlash for her statements.
E! News reports a recent segment of "Outnumbered" on Fox News addressed the University of Virginia's ban following the now discredited rape that took place on its campus. The segment featured correspondents and contributors Melissa Francis, Andrea Tantaros and Dash.
When asked to share their opinions on the bans, Dash immediately interjected and expressed her belief that only "good girls" should be allowed at the fraternity parties. She suggested that some girls -- "the bad girls" -- get too drunk and allow themselves to become rape victims because of their inebriation.
"The other bad girls -- bad women -- are the ones who like to be naughty, might go out and play and get hurt and then, you know ... But the other thing about this is that it then blames the alcohol instead of the person who overdrinks. So it's like, the same thing with guns. Guns don't kill people; people kill people. Alcohol doesn't get you drunk; you get yourself drunk," Dash explained.
Tantaro, meanwhile, expressed sympathy for men on college campuses who might fear that they will one day be wrongfully accused of rape. Tantaros also described college rape victims as "a bunch of babies" who are alcoholics.
"I mean girls are given rape whistles, and boys aren't allowed at frat parties -- either women can handle liquor and make responsible choices or they can't. And they're a bunch of babies who need to be kept away from liquor and boys," she explained.
Twitter exploded with opposing comments from social media users regarding Dash and Tantaros' statements.
