Use your common sense and stay out of bad situations where you are at risk. That includes inside the voting booth.

The male who molests the passed out young woman who crawled into his bed is to blame, perhaps even in a criminal sense.

In most states, I believe there's no "perhaps" about it.

Of course, expecting the young man, who is himself also sloshed, to be perfectly capable of making these decisions is itself illogical.

IOW, even an entirely ethical young man who intends to obey the law may make poor choices when drunk and horny.

I have never and will never understand the "meet in bars and go home with a stranger" routine.

The young women is stating, by her actions and in the most blatant way possible, that she utterly and completely trusts this guy she just met not to do her harm. Why? On what is that trust based?

They guy, OTOH, is equally trusting that she won't make a false accusation that will very likely ruin his life. Why does he trust her to this extent? What is the trust based on?

Excellent essay.

Many great lines, too, including this one:

Again, if you’re in college it probably should not be so hard to understand that guzzling Jose Cuervo until you are a stumbling, puking wreck and then heading off to a random dude’s dorm is likely to end up in the inept coupling that passes for erotic activity among 19-year olds.

I’m getting a lot of mileage out of this quote today:

“The issue is never the issue. The issue is the revolution.”
—David Horowitz, quoting unnamed SDS leader.
