Default Proposed UK law would make sex with (very) drunk women rape

Have to say I'm pretty appalled by this. People need to take responsibility for their actions, even when drunk. Discuss.

This won't pass because we don't have the space to put anyone else in prison. Eventually rape will be legal.

Yeah this basically exists in the United States as-is. Enjoy.

The article makes it out to be unabashedly female-biased, presumably under the assumption that the man would have to be aroused to have sex and therefore couldn't be raped.

I believe what I read in The Sun (albeit a Tabloid) over what I read in the Daily Mail

For those in the US...

The Sun = Wall Street Journal
The Daily Mail = National Enquirer

The way it basically stands is

Sober guy + Sober girl = consensual

Drunk guy + Sober girl = Consensual

Sober guy + Drunk girl = girl raped

Drunk guy + Drunk girl = girl raped



Obviously not this simple and I actually think that the times when a girl was just drunk and regrets it and cries rape are the veeeeeery slim minority, but still, no guy could ever bring rape charges against a woman and have it stick unless there were very extenuation circumstances or actual force.

In general i think not having sex with very drunk women is probably a good rule, although I'm sure I broke this a few (many) times in college.
