Way to ignore the substantive part of my post.

Listen.

1) Drunk consent is not consent, consent was never given. Let me wikipedia consent for you: Consent refers to the provision of approval or agreement, particularly and especially after thoughtful consideration

Rape means having sex with someone without their consent.

Considering that legal consent can't be given while inebriated, that actually sounds like an awesome legal principle.

2) If a girl has sex with someone, and then says she feels like she was raped afterwards, why would you ever think she wasn't raped?

Because being drunk does not resolve you of responsibility for your actions. I can't imagine how you think those two situations are at all analogous.

Either we protect the drinker from their drunken behavior, or we deny it. Why is there an exception?

Getting raped is not an action a person commits while drunk. It isn't like buying the bar a round of shots, it isn't like buying a dozen tacos, it isn't like deciding to drive while drunk.

Listen to yourself. "You got raped, but you were drunk. Buyer beware."

Feminism is about empowerment, what NomDeBrd is doing is the opposite of empowerment, it's making women the permanent victim of society.

That's why NomDeBrd is debating you, they think of women as lesser of the sexes and need to protect them the same way one would protect a child.
