Title: Double Standards
Post by: mamacags on March 18, 2013, 03:40:19 PM
Discussing the football players/rape thing going on in Ohio today brought up a good point and I wanted some other opinions on it.  If a girl has way too much to drink and has sex she can claim rape because she was drunk and therefore legally can not consent.  Why is it that if a boy is just as drunk that he still gets charged with rape even if he can't remember having sex?  How is it different for a girl to be black out drunk and a guy?  Both are completely stupid and irresponsible.  Why is one a criminal and the other a victim?  If a guy was really drunk and a girl jumped on him and he claimed rape he would be laughed out of court.  Also at what point does it become rape in your mind if a girl is all over a guy touching his genitals and ripping his clothes off?  If he has sex with her he is a criminal even if everyone saw her trying to get a piece.  

Also how can feminists defend the double standard?  If they want men and women to be treated equal then the rules shouldn't be different.

I am surprised you didn't smack yourself up for being a fascist for trying to think like a wymyn.

From the pictures they showed of this girl, she wasn't just "black out" drunk, but passed out drunk.  They were carrying her around like a rag doll not just supporting a stumbling drunk.   Part if not all of the outrage seemed to stem from the fact that it was a group of guys and they posted it to social media.

That being said, you raise a good point about double standards. I'm sure a girl could claim rape afterwards even if the guy was so drunk that he didn't remember what had happened.

I don't know about that. Back at ages 16 to late 20's or even later, little JohnnyReb would jump to attention and salute if he even felt a fresh breeze.....with or without my consent.

I beg to differ Wineslob.  That actually rarely happens in real life.  Not that I would know.  I agree that they should have been punished for the social media stuff.  I always tell my kids that taking pictures and writing stuff down will end up in a conviction so never do it.

I know of a guy (not that I'm friends with him) who was convicted of statutory rape.  As a senior in high school he passed out drunk on a couch at a party.  A freshman cheerleader took a dare to...  :whistling: ...and it was being filmed by her friends with cell phone cameras.

Drunk High school Senior wakes up, to a cheerleader...  :whistling: ...with the girls friends watching and recording.... and than let her continue...  :whistling:

At that point it was deemed him raping her due to her age, him being drunk and technically a rape victim moments before was secondary.  He actually received a 2 year prison sentence, although an attorney besides a public defender may have been able to argue that it a bit better.

Until we outlaw "stupidity," shtuff like this is going to happen.  Well, heck, it's gonna happen even then, but what we say might change.
