It didn't stay up for long, but long enough for one concerned citizen to take a screenshot of the entire thing and send it off to Jezebel, where interested parties can read Herrick's convoluted theories in greater detail.

But as women, shouldn't we take responsibility for our bodies by not becoming so intoxicated that we don't know what is happening? ... No, she's not asking to be raped by being drunk. But isn't it her responsibility to reduce the risk by not getting to that point?”
