It's not idiotic. It's incredibly offensive and speaks to the rape culture embedded in not just our culture, but in the police system. I.e., those intended to protect victims.

Agreed. It is a straight up violation.

I have heard we can have multiple "parts" (i.e. bodies) of our souls living at once; more than one lifetime at a time in other words. So, it could still be possible!

The first article sounds similar to the definition I posted earlier: normal/tipsy kinda drunk yes = yes; smashed/slurring drunk = can't consent. The second article, well, they raise a good point. I guess don't have sex with "heavy drinkers"/alcoholics you just met who might be more impaired than you realize?

I don't know what the legal definition is but my understanding is normal drunk/had one too many/tipsy yes = yes. Smashed, barely standing, incoherent drunk = can't give consent. Makes sense to me.

If someone verbalized their consent while drunk, they weren't too drunk to consent, and they consented to the sex; there would be no rape and no trial.

That's true. There are those who want to get rid of it all together. I guess we all fall somewhere on the spectrum in between wanting to erase the work and denying it abuse/rape happened in order to "preserve" the work.

Except Cosby and Polanski did not cure cancer. And I don't know of anyone saying we need to "burn" or get rid of their art altogether. Simply that, as you stated in your hypothetical, they should be held accountable.

Gandhi. :(

"It's not even just about that."

"Uh, separating marriage from the raising of children ensures that the vagaries of romance do not disrupt the happiness and health of the child and its mother. Does this not solve every fucking problem ever whined about by any married people anywhere since ever?"

I would never see a male OBGYN, but a lesbian I would have no problem with.

Mm..I wonder about the validity of this doctor's claims tho. Sometimes people misread the signals of others who they find attractive. Even if he was her doctor. We just don't know.

Pot, meet kettle.

We get 2 fingers inside, a speculum to open us up followed by staring, poking around, and cotton swabbing, and a breast exam. Not the same.

Glad you solved that!

Except that's not the conclusion of the study.

But you also have to worry that your friend from work who offered you a ride home, or your boyfriend, or your brother's best friend, could rape you.

I mean, pussy tastes pretty good warm.

You find that comforting? You must be a man.
