it says it is men who commit rape. though it does not state it eplicitly, it implies that if a woman says yes while drunk, it is still rape to have sex with her. whereas even if the man is drunk he still raped her. like this http://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/kkm3t/a_much_more_accurate_rape_analogy/ or http://human-stupidity.com/humor/if-mugging-laws-were-like-rape-laws

There are some real gems in there.

Stop insisting that women have a duty to protect themselves and insist instead that it is men who must ensure that their behaviour does not make that protection necessary

and then

Reject any suggestion that alcohol consumption somehow muddies the waters around consent: on the contrary – any question that a woman’s intoxication poses even the smallest degree of uncertainty about her capacity to consent should deter any effort to claim or secure it...Alcohol is used by men who rape both as a means of incapacitating the women they assault, and also as an excuse for their own behaviour.

One woman, who believes she was raped after having her drink spiked, told the Guardian it "felt like a slap in the face" when she read that the standard award of £11,000 would be reduced by 25% in her case, because the CICA believed that her "excessive consumption of alcohol was a contributing factor in the incident."

What the fuck?
