Corollary to the drunk sex question

There's different extents of 'drunk'. If you are able to find your keys, locate your car, select the correct key to start the car and then put it into gear/drive/reverse, you can be held responsible for drunk driving because you made the decision to do it.

Look---If you are conscious when you make a decision, then you made the decision. Sure it might have been the wrong one, but no one forced you. We all make mistakes, ESPECIALLY when we are drunk. Now, if someone forces you to do some thing (like have sex) that is rape, simple as that.

you're not on a rant are you? ; ) yeah, I see where you're going. things can get monotonous. I don't drink and drive (don't drink) but if I ever got a dwi I'd use your plea. =]

Yeah, I've always had an issue with this. Consent is not real if a person isn't truly able to give it. In my mind that means a child or a mentally disabled person. It doesn't mean me after six beers. I don't know of another way to think about that. To call a guy who had sex with me while I was drunk a rapist is to diminish the crime of rape.

Again the real question is should a woman be treated equally. Again, the answer is yes. This wasn't an option below which tells me D is almost the right answer except for the last part as I don't feel put on the spot. Just kidding, I just think you are putting in a lot of prejudice in your questions. I feel that you are just looking at it from the wrong angle. We women who are answering your questions didn't write that law. I have never said that someone I had consentual sex with raped me and won't. I have no desire to. Perhaps the women who do this have mental issues. Maybe the guy would have known that had he gotten to know the person better before bedding them.

I will say this, that guys assume if you do certain things when you are drunk that you are consenting to sex. I'm old enough now to know, but as a young girl I didn't realize that if you went with the person somewhere that it was expected or demanded. I'm older now, so when a guy says to me, "Want to come over and play pool at my house?" or "I'm having so much fun, let's go to my house and talk some more." I understand now that person is probably saying, "We are going to go have sex."

I do believe in a way that a drunk person should be taken care of as they are not possessed of all their wits-male or female. If someone is around that can feel safe helping the person, they should make sure they get home safely and don't choke on their own vomit. :-)

If the car could convince the girl to do the driving, like a guy can try to convince a girl, then maybe. But a car can't do that. And C is still not quite the right answer. That's like saying you're responsible for your actions at all times. What about times of "under duress" when you may have had a justifiable homicide because someone attacked you at gunpoint, and you somehow took the gun from them and they had gotten shot in the altercation. Under normal circumstances you wouldn't normally commit an act like that, you were forced, manipulated by the situation. And that's somewhat similar (an extreme similarity, but one none-the-less) to a guy manipulating and taking advantage of a girl to have sex when she really doesn't want to. You're still forcing/manipulating someone to commit an act they wouldn't normally commit. The car can't manipulate the girl to drive it. Unless she drives a delorian and it talks to her, lol.

Maybe drunk sex should also be a misdemeanor!
