Tennis star Serena Williams has a serious case of foot-in-mouth syndrome. The 31-year-old athlete dishes out her own brand of victim-blaming and slut-shaming all rolled into one horrific mess in a Rolling Stone piece released on Tuesday.

Here’s what she had to say about the Steubenville rape case:

Do you think it was fair, what they got? They did something stupid, but I don’t know. I’m not blaming the girl, but if you’re a 16-year-old and you’re drunk like that, your parents should teach you: don’t take drinks from other people. She’s 16, why was she that drunk where she doesn’t remember? It could have been much worse. She’s lucky. Obviously I don’t know, maybe she wasn’t a virgin, but she shouldn’t have put herself in that position, unless they slipped her something, then that’s different.

Her statements are beyond facepalm territory. What she said is so infuriating, it’s hard to know where to begin.

OK, drinking responsibly is something we should all try to do. Getting stupidly drunk and potentially harming yourself or others is a big no-no. But what Serena’s statement implies is the victim’s drunkenness had something to do with the sexual assault. We’ve all had too much to drink at one point, but nobody should have to worry about being raped just because they’re drunk.

It’s not the victim’s responsibility to keep rapists at bay. It’s the perpetrator’s responsibility as a decent human being to not harm a clearly intoxicated person. (Or any person, for that matter)

Serena’s next statements go on to diminish the victim’s experience. It could have been worse. She’s lucky. I’m sorry, but is there a rape spectrum I’m not aware of? Does the Steubenville rape victim fall too close to the “Teensy Bit Raped” end of the spectrum and not close enough to “Brutalized Beyond Recognition”?

Also, what does her sexual status have to do with any of this? Maybe she wasn’t a virgin. Having no sexual partners, one partner, or thousands of partners, shouldn’t have any bearing on whether or not you’ll be sexually assaulted at the next house party you go to.

It’s really disappointing that victim-blaming and slut-shaming are so prevalent. It’s especially disappointing when they come from an amazing athlete like Williams, who’s admired by many girls and women for her on-court skills. If only she could be a hero for girls off the court as well.

Now excuse me while I run a cold shower to wash off all this idiocy.
