- Am I correct in inferring from this that you believe anytime a man and
- woman engage in sex when the woman is drunk that it is rape? I'll buy
- into that if the woman is passed out and cannot offer consent, but
- this is absurd beyond that situation. It would seem that you suggest
- that if a woman consents to sex with a man when she is impaired by the
- influence of alcohol that this makes the man a rapist. Would you say
- the same thing with the sexes reversed? If so, I've been raped in the
- past (by this definition) - what's the statute of limitations, perhaps
- I'll prosecute...
