Is the legal system right about this?

Question

My g/f threw a party at her apartment and by the end of the night we were both drunk. I fell asleep on the floor in front of the TV and at some point she woke up and started kissing me and initiated s*x. We were both still very drunk...a thought filled my mind, "she can file rape charges on me now". I just started hysterically laughing at how insane the system is.

Did i rape her?

Follow up question:(expecting everyone to say of course not)- How is it anyway logical to claim rape because you made a decision while drunk?? I mean after all, you can't claim "intoxication" as valid excuse to drop accountability if you get pulled over behind the wheel of a car while drunk.

Answer 1

Its just another example of the crazy feminist BS we are supposed to see as equality. Feminists have specialized in redefining words like 'rape' and 'violence' until virtually all men can be defined as rapists and woman beaters (see Section 3c here http://www.freewebs.com/feminism-evaluat...

Edit

Btw  Vera Baird is a prominent British feminist and judge http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/07...

She was on the UK's Channel 4 news a couple of weeks ago supporting new laws that mean that a woman can kill a man purely on the grounds that she felt sufficiently insulted http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/jul/29... An example given was a man who had previously raped a woman taunting her some time later about the rape i.e. she could kill him just for the taunting alone http://link.brightcove.com/services/link... Can you imagine facing Judge Baird on one of those phony 'rape' charges?

Answer 2

I'd like to argue but sometimes I just have to agree LOL

If someone is drunk, they are unable to give lawful consent.  I totally agree with this but have posed the question - if a guy and a girl are both drunk and neither are in control can a man be charged - and have been told that yes he can.  

You make a good point with driving - the difference is that there is a dispute as to whether the woman gave consent or was taken advantage of.  In driving there is no dispute, just like if she abused her child or shot someone while drunk.

Answer 3

No, she raped you. She initiated the act. lol

Answer 4

No, she raped you but you would be the one arrested and convicted. Sorry, just the way it is.

Answer 5

Uh no. There are many myths here about alcohol/consent/rape. It isn't enough for the survivor to simply tell the police that she was raped, and from there it goes to court.

In reality, both parties are interviewed *extensively* by the police. The police have to ascertain whether or not they have a case, before it goes to court. The vast majority of rape reports don't get past the police interview. Usually, because it's often difficult to *prove* that consent was not an issue.

If the perpetrator for instance, told his friends that he got her drunk, or put Rohipnol (date drug) into her drink, so that he could then have s*x with her, that - along with bucket loads of further evidence- would be  needed for the case to go any further. Another example would be if he denies having had s*x with her, and his sperm is found inside her v****a. Why would he have lied? Or perhaps, witnesses may have seen the survivor leave with him, in an obvious state of heavy sedation, and this had been the first time that she had ever decided to go home with a man. This is only a fraction of circumstances that are kept in consideration for a rape case to go to trial.

Please inform yourself before you trivialise rape. Many people here think that most women lie when they say they've been raped, though I'm sure they wouldn't think this, if their mother had been raped. There's far more involved in the whole "women lie to give us a bad reputation" or "women lie b/c they feel bad for having had s*x whilst drunk and therefore made a false claim."  

Stating that one's been raped is by far, not all that needs to happen for a mans "life to be ruined" Months of investigation, witnesses, medical examination records, security cameras etc need to build a picture as to what happened.

Answer 6

This subject really requires that the relationship between the two parties be defined.   If the 2 people are significant others with several months of dating history, it is quite a different picture than two people on their second date.

And if it is 2 people hooking up for the first time, if one person is more intoxicated than the other, it points to manipulation of the shadiest variety.... hence the term "date rape."

Answer 7

She could, after all what's to stop her.

She just wouldn't get very far since she initiated it.

Answer 8

You haven't said your age or your girlfriend's. If she's under 16 it will be statutory rape, no matter what. But if you're both over 16, it's just consentual s*x and just because you're drunk, it shouldn't matter. Why would your girlfriend want to claim rape anyway?
