CoolCzech,

I agree with you. Yes, women DO bear the greater burden physically, and emotionally when they are the victim of drunk sex that they may or may not have agreed with. Heather’s generalized b!tch point is that a girl who drinks, gets drunk and finds herself having sex (that she mmay or may not remember), is completely her own fault. This article and sentiment is just that – a generalization of the “situation.” My point is that NO, it takes a penis and vagina and the CONSENT of both parties to have sex and if said girl doesn’t remember and thinks it may have been a part of unwilling sex but also drunk, she has every right to claim it as rape.

Since our Justice system understands the issue of consent better that idiot Heather and makes the man’s share of this type of drunk sex a legal problem for HIM. Because our Justice system does realize that some men (someone said perhaps 99%) would not think twice about banging an unconscious girl. However, many men and some idiot women think the LEGAL part of the burden for the man is terribly unfair – basically saying that men should not only NOT have to claim responsibility to the sex he just had with a girl who passes out during sex but also claim the right to feel free to think that drunk-girl probably deserved it because “good girls aren’t suppose to get drunk.” This is basically Heather’s argument. Which Mary rightfully thinks is unreasonable.

Thankfully the laws on consent and the INability to give consent do not adhere to the opinions of our brilliant Heather and those who think as she does.
