It's not always rape if a woman is drunk, says judge
I presume we've all seen this nonsense on the Daily Fail website?

The comments are nothing short of epic, in that "hell in a handbasket" style that the crackpot readership of this nasty bit of journalism are...

I think my "favourite" has to be either:


Sense at last. Young men need to take this as a warning, though. If you must have sex outside marriage, get the woman's consent first, in writing, and preferably with a witnessed signature. That way she can't cry rape the next day when she changes her mind.

As for young women - if you go binge drinking, you are likely to consent to have sex with someone when you otherwise wouldn't. That plus throwing up plus wasting vast amounts of money, what a life. Whatever is the attraction?

- Liz Ward, Huddersfield UK
or

Once a 'Lady' has drunk more than lets say 2 bottles of wine she should lose the right to cry rape.

- Donald Dehaviland, Fleet Hampshire ,England.

Yes, that's the way! Only have sex (missionary, under the covers, with the lights off) in marriage, or if you get pissed and violated in the worst possible way, then it's your own fault... I wonder what a party of Mail readers is like??

If only it wasn't so difficult getting comments past the mods :-(

If I was in a sensible mood, I'd write something about rape being an issue where there can be "grey areas" (e.g. initial consent may be implied, but then the partner changes their mind, how do you define "drunk" etc), and the Daily Mail can't deal with something that isn't black and white.

But I'm not in a serious mood, so instead I want to write "...but will nobody think of the children..." all over a copy of tomorrow's paper...

Scintillating, I should imagine. I'm sure Liz Ward has a very enjoyable social life.
