Why is it that a drunk woman having sex with a sober guy is rape but a drunk man having sex with a sober woman is consensual?

Because women are being infantilized. They can't make decisions for themselves and can't be held responsible for their actions.

Remember, it always makes sense when you keep in mind that feminists don't like women.

My state's law on this is gender neutral. Anyone who gets someone drunk to have sex, or has sex with someone they know is incapacitated, is guilty of rape.

Good luck getting a prosecutor to take the case, though.

The paaaaaaatriarchy.

Actually, a drunk man having sex with a sober women would probably be described as an out of control drunkard raping a defenseless woman. So no matter who's drunk, the man is a rapist.

Because according to Feminist rhetoric women are stupid flimsy damsels who can never make their own decisions and are subject to the whims of their environment and not in any way responsible for their own actions. Also being 800 lbs is sexy.

Remember women are strong and capable when it benefits them, but are delicate little flowers when it doesn't. Fuck feminism.

TeknoWork · 2016-05-20T18:24:43+00:00

Well, according to 3rd wave insane feminists...

Everything is rape. If you don't ask for consent for each stroke - it's rape. If you look at a woman - rape. Think about a woman - rape...

Just trying to patiently wait for the pendulum to swing away from the crazy train... it'll happen, it's starting to happen.

Err which legal system are you claiming that is the case under?

matmannen · 2016-05-21T10:37:53+00:00

Because the protection that comes under Victorian style morals is mistaken as gender equality.

FrigOffCyrus · 2016-05-22T14:33:44+00:00

Also, if a woman gets drunk and gets behind the wheel of a car, she's responsible for her actions. If she gets drunk and has intercourse, then she's apparently not responsible for her actions.

civilsaint · 2016-05-20T18:27:43+00:00

Technically, it should be rape. But it's not because men are viewed as responsible for their actions even when drunk while women are not.

From what I gather, in the military this isn't the case. Women actually do get punished for having sex with a drunk man.

cymrich · 2016-05-20T19:34:23+00:00

because men are always expected to take responsibility for their actions and women not so much. this is essentially the same as deciding that men driving drunk need to be arrested but if a woman drives drunk then a man in her life should be arrested instead. for some reason women driving drunk are expected to take responsibility for themselves in that case though. maybe it's because a man may not be present to take the blame when she drives drunk.

CaptainRandus · 2016-05-21T03:33:34+00:00

Because double standards are acceptable, women are always victims, and men are always horny evil rape quiffs or something.

Elliottocity · 2016-05-20T22:23:22+00:00

Can you back this up with an example or an article?

FrostLink · 2016-05-21T01:19:59+00:00

ahem male gaze...

KamiNekoSama · 2016-05-21T05:31:44+00:00

This seems like a good place for this.

Because feminists and gynocentrists are sexist pigs.

dgillz · 2016-05-21T12:30:56+00:00

Or if both are drunk? The man's a rapist. This is what it has come to; this is our society.

ThePigmanAgain · 2016-05-21T00:28:13+00:00

Because female privilege.

McFeely_Smackup · 2016-05-21T01:58:36+00:00

Because fuck you shitlord, that's why.

Seriously, that's why.

Firstly, the issue is not "drunk", it is "drunk beyond consent".

Secondly, the sobriety or drunkenness of the accused is irrelevant. For excellent practical reasons a drunk person is judged for their crimes as if they were sober. You would not want to live in a world where being or claiming to be drunk was a legal excuse for anything. The principle is that when you get drunk you take responsibility for whatever you later get up to.

Thirdly, the second scenario is wrong in most jurisdictions. If the man is drunk beyond consent then the woman can be found guilty of rape or whatever offense applies there.

Note that most men lose the ability to have an erection before they lose the ability to consent.

You didn't ask but the answer is yes, if they are both drunk beyond consent they can both be guilty of rape. It is hard to imagine how they could both end up in court defending that charge and I don't know that it has ever happened, but it is technically possible.
