Do we live in a Rape Culture?

If drunkenness is admitted as an excuse for one, it should be also for the other.

The thing is that it DOES take more than just a claim of being too drunk to consent to get a rape conviction.  I don't think it is as easy as you guys think.

As for both parties being too drunk to consent that would be almost impossible to prove, but you can't claim that you were too drunk to commit a rape when you have sex with a woman who does not consent.  Just like you can not claim you were too drunk to get a DUI because you were too drunk to know you were driving.
