But if both participants are equally intoxicated, then aren't they raping each other?
There's some legal gray area there, but essentially it depends on who initiates sex. Typically one person initiates, and the other consents. If both parties initiate at the same time, there's no rape. If one party initiates and the other 'consents' but would not have if he/she were sober, then the situation starts to look more like a rape.
What if the guy would never have decided to have sex with that woman if he was sober, isn't his decision making, and subsequently his consent, just as compromised as hers?
Do you mean to say, "What if the guy would never have decided to rape that woman if he was sober?" He's still responsible for that.
Nobody said they were dude, no need to fish for inappropriate comments just to start an argument.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant that statement as a response to statements like this:
IMO people should be held responsible for their actions when they're intoxicated, and this cuts both ways.
I think that should be amended to "IMO some people should be held responsible for their actions when they're intoxicated."
