- Depends on what you mean by "consent". I don't agree with the idea
- that a woman who consents to sex while drunk isn't really
- consenting and is thus being raped- but there have been many, many
- cases of women being violated while passed out drunk, or merely
- because they were too drunk to resist. That is rape. And yes,
- a women who gets roaring drunk at a frat party where she doesn't
- know anybody is being stupid; I fail to see how that justifies
- rape, however.
