Do we live in a Rape Culture?

I can see the reasoning from back in the day when females were the meek little flowers and all, but today they're just as sexually aggressive as men.

If they're both intoxicated, what makes the man held any more accountable ?

Probably the same double standards that keep them out of selective service, for now.

Because he's doing the act. Being drunk doesn't excuse the act.

'I didn't mean to rob that bank, I'd had a couple drinks over lunch, one thing led to another and the next thing I know I'm shouting 'Put all the money in the bag!"'

Just because you're drunk, too doesn't mean it's ok to have sex with someone incapacitated any more than it's ok to rob a bank or sell meth.

The other side is true, too. If a guy is drunk and a chick takes advantage, that's rape. Women, normally, don't have to incapacitate a guy, though. For them, all they need to do is say "Hi."
