ORIGINAL: LafayetteLady I agree with everything entirely except that bolded part. Because when they are both out of their mind drunk, I don't think the guy is 100% on the hook, especially when you look at some of these college parties and spring break deals when everyone is drunk and looking for hook ups. Then they wake up the next morning, realize they slept with someone from the nerd frat and want to cry rape. Women need to be responsible for their actions as well. Even if it means that one of the group (we know those young drunk girls are never alone) has to stay sober and watch the others. The trouble is that rapists will use this scenario as cover. They go out, keep relatively sober, and prey on shitfaced or even unconscious young women. Or they'll just drug the women. Then when the women go the police, the guys say "well, she came on to me, we were both drunk" blah blah blah. I'm sure that sometimes the guys are just too drunk to understand the questionable or non-existent consent, but I think it's better for everybody to err on the side of "don't have sex with people that are blackout drunk" when dealing with people you haven't had clear negotiations with. ETA: Also, for what it's worth.... if you get drunk and accidently run someone over, it's still homicide. If you get high and don't know what you're doing and hold a store up at gunpoint, it's still robbery. Why is rape different? If they are both drunk and the girl is on top is she guilty of rape since she is in the controlling position?
