'It's not my fault for passing out, it's his fault for raping me'

Everyone should be able to get wasted and pass out wherever they damn well feel like it without having to fear being raped.

Violating a man or a woman's body sexually cannot be compared to being mugged. One ruins a life the other is annoying as you have to get a new phone and replacement cards

I honestly don't know where the idea of people not asking people not to rape coming from. Maybe it's just me but did you guys grow up learning that rape is OK? Because I didn't.

Exactly

The way some puritans go on about how we should all avoid alcohol is pretty weird tbh, we don't all want to live in the Taleban rules?

Loads of guys go out and get smashed every weekend and end up passed out in their own vomit, they don't expect to get taken advantage of sexually by another guy do they?

if you rape a passed out woman you deserve the death penalty thats number one.
Number two we need to teach a lot of women and men for that matter in england to stop drinking so ****ing much

It's a handy way for people with strange gender politics to demonise all males.

I also don't understand why people, ie 'feminists', are refusing to admit that rape laws do put females at an advantage in many ways. Hell, for the longest time males couldn't even be legally raped. And still couldn't in some countries.

Of course rape is a horrible event and no one - no woman or man - should suffer from it, but, in "Maria's" occasion, couldn't it have been avoid by alcohol moderation?

My opinion might cause some to think I'm misogynistic ... but it just seems to me more could have been done to avoid it.

She talks about how she's allowed to drink as much as she wants ... but putting yourself into a state where you pass out is bad - very bad.

She's obviously right about 'it's his fault for raping me' ... don't get me wrong, he should suffer for it ... but saying it's not 'my fault for passing out' ... is stupid because it was. She had the choice to drink "as much as she wanted", she knew how dangerous alcohol can be, and is.


Anyway, what do you guys think?

The only issue I have with sexual offences law is the issue over victim / defendant anonymity, which is a very difficult one. Other than that, I don't see what the big deal is.

Don't be so stupid as to imagine being mugged is simply like being pick pocketed

I'm not saying it is. But you get over it a lot easier than someone who rapes you.

A lot easier? No. It still causes anxiety and causes people not to leave their homes

I'm not saying it's problematic though I think defendant should've anonymity at least until they are charged and age of consent should be entirely replaced by Romeo and Juliet laws, I'm just saying that 'feminists' I know insist that any discussion about anything is inherently suppressive to females. They don't understand the concept of innocent before guilty and therefore believes that anything but to jail all accused rapists automatically would be sexist.
