"Non Violent" Rape?!?!

[blue_lorelei]

So a friend's friend on LJ made a post about how you can look up sexual offenders in your zip code and he remarked that there were a LOT in his zip code area. He lives right next to a very large college campus, and one of his LJ friends left this comment

I do think it's a terrible thing to downplay date rape (I was date raped myself), but I'm wondering if she was more referring to laws stating that any sex involving the intoxication of the female is "rape" even if it consenting or both partners are equally intoxicated or what have you.

I considered that a possibility, but I think the report rate for that kind of rape is rather low, isnt it?

I couldn't find any data specifying how many rape victims were under the influence of alcohol (versus a date rape drug and the like). I'll let you know if I find anything!

Cool.

But remember, please -- not all drunk girls consent. When I'm drunk, I am lucid and remember everything, but I lack motor control. Honestly, if I got drunk someone could easily overpower me and rape me, but I would know what was going on. That would make me irresponsible, but if I'd honestly thought I was among friends...

Just saying, alcohol doesnt make everyone into "sex-o-matics."

Thank you for directly stating what ought to be obvious.
