Are you in favor of young women getting drunk to the point that they allow themselves to be a public convenience?
No, but if they do, they should not be condemned for it any more (or less) than a man should.
I don’t know how many times I need to repeat this before it will sink in: I am not saying women should behave badly; I am rejecting a double standard that condemns bad behaviour in women while accepting the very same behaviour in men.
And however drunk the woman is, rape is always wrong. It may be difficult to prove, but it is always wrong.
