George,
George: “So.. if they are both drunk, which one gets a life destroying felony charge?”
If they are both drunk and both ok with it, then no one is at fault. I would think that in order to it be rape, the girl should have to have resisted or said “stop” at some point during sex and it was ignore.
George: “And what if he is drunk and she is relatively sober?”
Again, if at any point the male tried to push the girl off him penis or yelled “stop” and she didn’t, then the court should afford him the same ability to claim rape. Since I’m not a man, I really don’t know, that being so turned off by unwanted heterosexual sex, if a man couldn’t just lose his erection and the entire process just stop.
George: “I am looking forward (not really) to the case where some bimbo gets slobbering drunk, wakes the next morning with a pounding headache, can’t remember who or how many people she banged the night before, can’t find her dress, let alone her panties, stumbles out of her front door into the grip of the police while TV cameras roll, is accused of multiple counts of felony sexual assault and goes to prison for twelve years.”
So tell me, why the use of the word “bimbo?” What is your definition of bimbo? That is exactly what this article is about. What exactly would you call a male version of bimbo?
There was a 1988 film called “The Accused” based on a actual case involving the gang-rape of a drunk “bimbo.” Due to the girl’s drunk and flirtatious behavor in the bar as well as her less than good girl past, the rapists (at first) get a reduced sentence of reckless endangerment. http://movies.msn.com/movies/movie.aspx?m=86949&pkw=PI&vendor=Paid+Inclusion&OCID=iSEMPI&mp=syn
I can only imagine that cases such as the one this film was based on, changed some of our rape laws and conviction rates due in part to the outrageous double standard with regard to using a woman’s sex life against her in her claim of rape.
