MEDIA personality Mia Freedman has come under fire over an article she posted about rape prevention on her website Mama Mia.
The journalist was inundated with thousands of tweets in response to the post, which implies that women who consume alcohol are more likely to be sexually assaulted than women who don't.
"It's probably come as a real shock to the ones who were raped by boyfriends or friends that just not drinking would have prevented it," tweeted Daily Life columnist Clementine Ford.
"Dear Mia, Please come to work with me and talk to rape victims and tell them to their face they could have prevented it," added Tracy Shoshan.
Freedman was quick to respond: "So today, apparently I'm 'victim blaming'. Please."
In a later tweet she said: "Interesting that those being most abusive on @TwitterAU to me about this post do not have daughters."
A wide range of women have got involved in the online debate, including Diversity Council Australia CEO Nareen Young - "the job of criminal lawyers is to defend their clients, and that's what they do. Good work Mia. Helping us lose" - and The Project's Em Rusciano, who tweeted in defence of the former Cosmopolitan editor.
Some of the most heated comments came from users offended that Freedman said advice about sexual assault was different for mothers than non-mothers.
"Tell Mia I haven't got a daughter but I *have* been cross examined in County Court about my own assaults. I think I qualify," said user Little Lion.
"Guys, you aren't allowed to have opinions on women and victimisation unless you're raising daughters on the North Shore. Okay?" added Ford.
