Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 2900590, member: 2290"] While I completely agree that it is unforgivable to knowingly take advantage of a woman who is heavily under the influence of alcohol. It opens up such a huge legal grey area with no happy solution. How drunk is too drunk? Pass out or 2 beers? If you can give a rigid answer to that question then my next question is - to what extent do you take into account how drunk the male was? If he was equally inebriated are both parties the victims and perpetrators of a sex crime? do they receive equal punishment? If both are too drunk to consent but only one eventually feels uncomfortable about it, is the person experiencing retrospective unwillingness the victim while the equally inebriated party now a sex criminal? Is it a matter of gender where despite how drunk both or either party is, that the responsibility for the action fall onto the male? As a male, I just don't think the risk is worth it anymore but everyday literally thousands if not millions of people are having sex for the first time while intoxicated. It is a legal minefield that is so hard to think of a right answer too. Either the laws are too lax and people don't have the protection or justice they deserve, or the law is too strict and things like consent that is followed by regret could potentially see a lot of decent people be branded as criminal. At the moment it really seems like crapshoot, and a problem to which I can not see a solid answer. [/QUOTE]
