Do we live in a Rape Culture?

Secondly, if you're unable to speak coherently you're black out drunk. Show me one case where there was a conviction of rape when the (willingly) drunk victim gave the rapist consent to have sex.

I can show you where laws have been amended to remove this language.....“no crime is committed if the actor reasonably believed that the victim was not incapacitated and reasonably believed that the victim consented to the act.”


It is clear that the law is evolving to cover cases the alleged victim was conscious and able to speak, but not thinking clearly enough to give consent.  So even if none have been convicted yet it is obvious that the law is not "on your side".


And "consent to sex" and "consent to contract" are not different at all.  In fact they address the exact same issues.  There is not false equivalence at all.  Please explain why you think they are so "totally different" because from everything I know they both deal with the exact same issue of mental capacity.
