Writing fiction about this. A man tried to rape my female character while she was drunk. She got lucky and fought him off, hurting him badly. There's a contingent of his friends who want to finish what he started. But what other really rude reactions do people have under this sort of situation?

She was asking for it. She deserved it. It didn't even happen; it was all in her head.
Slut shamers tend to blame her for the clothes she wore and getting drunk if she gets raped. Also they can post naked pictures of her on the internet - another shaming tactic.
If I were writing this story, I'd have two people who got raped that did exactly the same thing - a man and a woman - both raped by a different man. The man would not get blamed for being drunk and what he is wearing but the woman would and would be attacked for speaking out against her attackers to but both would commit suicide - because of rape has a real impact on both.
Actually, that sounds like a really good idea for fiction. I'd like to read it sometime, despite if you leave the details in it. It sounds almost like I Spit on Your Grave, except the group of men did that to her and she came back to finish them.
Great suspense creating fiction. Brutal times call for brutal action in those hard times. If the heroin happened to be Irish, God help those guys though!
