Do we live in a Rape Culture?

Online retailers can't protect you from yourself, there is only one actor in drunk buying online. The retailer is passive and has no knowledge of your intoxication. In drunken sex where one party is intoxicated there is no passive party, both are active, and the state of intoxication can be perceived. So no, they don't carry the same logic.

And I am far from puritanical in my attitudes towards sex. Wanting people to be sober when they do so does not qualify.

An online retailer doesn't have to know that you're intoxicated at that moment to protect you from yourself. In my example, with that logic carried over, all I would have to do is tell them I was drunk in order for them to return my money.


But since you want to nitpick the superficial parts of my logic and not the logic itself, what about casinos or any other firm that sells goods and services to people who are drunk and/or drinking?
