Do we live in a Rape Culture?

Being drunk doesn't mean that you lose the ability to consent. You still have your agency. Being black out drunk is. There's a reason why the law is on my side and not yours.

Impaired or lost, if a person is willing to do something under the influence of alcohol that they would not do sober, they are at a point which they are unable to give consent. That is why it is irrelevant. And yes, there is a reason the law in most places is on your side. The biggest is the inability to have a concrete basis of measurement for these things, and the other is because of the rape culture that exists and permeates our justice system.

I'm not going to bother continuing trying to convince you. If you want to try to keep justifying your position to others to make you feel better about yourself, feel free. I will continue to feel that anyone that acts on a yes from an intoxicated partner is doing so without actual consent. Never had sex while intoxicated or with someone who was, and never will.

No, it didn't mean that. I am not even sure how you came to that conclusion.
