It's an odd concept that I can't really get behind; it basically views women as inferior to men, and unable to retain their senses in the same situations in which men are capable of doing so. It is literally treating women as children, and men as the consenting adult supervisors of those children, responsible for making sure to protect the women not only from themselves but also from those around them.

I can't get behind that. My definition of equality doesn't really jive with that way of thinking.

If you can't understand the logic of this position, it's because it's not an actual a real position that anyone or any group holds. Men and women are both liable for criminal actions while drunk; men and women both are unable to consent to sex while drunk under the law. The fact that men more often get charged for rape when alcohol is involved has everything to do with legal definitions of rape and biases in how likely a man vs a woman is to press charges in such a situation, and how likely people are to take them seriously if they report and go forward to prosecution. No one in the world is actually saying there's a difference in responsibility.

Watch out you're about to get called an ignorant racist sexist misogynist as your accuser sits upon a moral high-horse of self-righteousness while pushing an authoritarian ideology under the guise of "social justice".

In reality the SJW's are just as bigoted as the people they claim to be against. They go around bullying people and making fun of people and think somehow they're the righteous ones.

SJWs are fanatical members of a fad religion, extremists.

SJWs are the saddest group of losers on the internet and by far the most delusional. It's fascinating to watch them contort their ideology and do mental gymnastics to justify their hypocritical bigotry.

It's not about "equality" for them, it's about forcing everyone to obey their authoritarian rules and using powerful words like "racist" and "misogynist" to squelch anyone who might disagree with them and control the narrative of the conversation, after all no one wants to be called racist.

I think SJW has developed into a term almost separate from feminism and the other various causes they are associated with. They have become the extremist outliers of good movements.

They're trying to be representative though and that's the issue. Feminism typically forms a new wave when these things occur and I think a lot of people feel we need 4th wave feminism to get the movement back on track and away from the superficial posturing that's arisen. Otherwise there's a real danger of feminism being discredited by these people and we'll need to build all this momentum up again.

[–]beverlycrushher 17ポイント18ポイント  (2子コメント)

I actually think that fallacy doesn't apply here, as the Scotsman falacy tends to apply to instances where an auxillary behavior does not ostracize a person from a group that conforms on a separate and unrelated reason.

This is the original excert (according to Wikipedia, so take what you will): Imagine Hamish McDonald, a Scotsman, sitting down with his Glasgow Morning Herald and seeing an article about how the "Brighton (England) Sex Maniac Strikes Again". Hamish is shocked and declares that "No Scotsman would do such a thing". The next day he sits down to read his Glasgow Morning Herald again; and, this time, finds an article about an Aberdeen (Scotland) man whose brutal actions make the Brighton sex maniac seem almost gentlemanly. This fact shows that Hamish was wrong in his opinion, but is he going to admit this? Not likely. This time he says: "No true Scotsman would do such a thing".

"Sex maniac-ing" someone and being born in Scotland are unrelated. They did not "sex maniac-ing" because they were from Scotland, and being from Scotland did not make them a sex manic.

In this case, Feminism by definition and most practices, is "the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men."

In this case, wanting women to have advantages more than men directly conflicts with what makes them part of the "feminism" group. So they really aren't feminists and the fallacy doesn't apply.

[–]nyrp 13ポイント14ポイント  (2子コメント)

I actually would argue that the ones who promote that thinking ARE they real feminists. They are the activists who are getting laws changed: "enthusiastic consent", "don't teach women not to drink, teach men not to rape", and giving women weeks and months to decide whether the sex they had was rape or not. We hear about these social changes because they are the public service announcements, new rules, and new norms that the most powerful segments of this group are able to make a national storm over. Therefore, they ARE the real feminists, they hold feminist power, they are making feminist changes to society.

Even if you claim they are not feminists, they hold the microphone and they say they are feminists. So, to them they are feminists, to the public they are the face of feminism, and responsible for the new social attitudes about women. So, to them, you are just a woman-hater who tells other women who is and who isn't a feminist, when they claim to be one and they've convinced everyone they are such. And they're making feminist new rules, their version anyway, so how could you say they're not feminists. If they're not feminists, what are they?

[–]jeanduluoz 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

No true feminist would do that!

From wiki:

No true Feminist is an informal fallacy, an ad hoc attempt to retain an unreasoned assertion.[1] When faced with a counterexample to a universal claim ("no Feminist would do such a thing"), rather than denying the counterexample or rejecting the original universal claim, this fallacy modifies the subject of the assertion to exclude the specific case or others like it by rhetoric, without reference to any specific objective rule ("no true Feminist would do such a thing")."

[–]Cthulu2014 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well in situations rife with drinking where inhibitions and social norms are lowered you can almost view it through a cavemen-style lens of "if push comes to shove most men can overpower a woman on a purely physical level to do what they want"

which creates a dicey situation when women and men are both hammered in each other's company, and results in this ostensible double standard of making men 'more responsible' for their actions than women when drunk

Modern society complicates it with additional dynamics, but women are generally the weaker sex and at more risk of being taken advantage of by a man who is drunk than vice versa. Not always, but in general it holds true.

[–]UneasySeabass 6ポイント7ポイント  (51子コメント)

I don't think you understand drunken consent laws at all. I kind of think you don't want to, but I'll try to explain it anyway.

Having sex with ANYONE too drunk to consent is rape. Guy or girl. You have the legal right to not be raped while you are drunk.

If someone commits a crime while drunk (robbery, rape, assault) while drunk, you can be prosecuted even though you were drunk. If two people are drunk but one of them has sex with someone else to drunk to consent, you can still be prosecuted.

Does that make sense?

[–]I_Am_The_Mole 12ポイント13ポイント  (8子コメント)

Is it possible for both parties to be "too drunk to consent" or is it a binary "one person was quantifiably more sober than the other and therefore is held responsible"?

[–]PeterGibbons316 9ポイント10ポイント  (1子コメント)

So if two drunk people have sex they are raping each other?

[–]wiifan55 7ポイント8ポイント  (6子コメント)

In reality, the law is not applied that way. Also you can't ignore the historical evolution of the law, which for the longest time didn't even recognize male rape by a female as possible because penetration was a required element. The issue comes up when both parties are allegedly too drunk to consent. In this instance, it's the male that still likely gets charged.

[–]UneasySeabass 9ポイント10ポイント  (5子コメント)

Well you can thank feminists for getting the definition of rape changed so that men can be raped in the eyes of the law.

[–]wiifan55 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

That's not what's being discussed at all, so I have no idea why you felt the need to bring it up. You very clearly have a terrible grasp of the law in this topic. I was providing a historical context as to why prosecution when both parties are unable to consent is still skewed towards one sex. Also, I notice you keep repeating a line about "whoever initiates the sex" in these instances is the rapist. That's entirely incorrect for a number of reasons: (1) practically speaking because initiation can be mutual; and (2) legally speaking because the law just isn't written that way. Essentially, it seems you're just making things up as you go.

[–]shrekter 36ポイント37ポイント  (12子コメント)

You're leaving out the part that only men are prosecuted in the event that both parties are drunk. There was even a poster about it.

[–]CIthrowAway 2ポイント3ポイント  (4子コメント)

Men are significantly less likely to come forward and admit to being raped. That is one of the reasons why the statistics are so skewed.

[–]DiluvialAscension 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Or maybe they don't think having sex while drunk and regretting it the next morning is rape.

[–]RedRing86 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's because it's not really rape. If someone is drunk and says they want to have sex, and they have sex and they are awake the entire time and do not change their mind. It's consensual.

Drunken laws are stupid. Is it unethical to have sex with someone you barely know who is goofy off their ass drunk? Possibly.

Should it be a crime? Hell no.

If two people are drunk but one of them has sex with someone else to drunk to consent, you can still be prosecuted. Does that make sense?

Is there a situation where both parties are too drunk to consent, but sex still happens?

[–]cain3482 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Why is it that only one of them has sex with someone else too 'drunk' to consent. Legally they both can't consent as they are both drunk, it wouldn't matter if one was more 'plastered' than the other.

So if both of them are drunk, meaning they can't consent, yet both willingly partake in the event while drunk then who is really raping who? I'm not saying that one is passed out as when you are unconscious you also cannot provide consent (alcohol or no alcohol), I am saying they are both awake, drunk, and providing consent to the other (though that consent cannot legally be given).

Following this through it would be that both of them raped someone.

[–]entwined82 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think the problem is that its not just as clear cut as one person having committed a crime. If two drunk people agree to have sex, neither can technically give consent. Based on that, both are sort of rapists and rape victims at the same time. Will both be prosecuted? Probably not.

What if I told you affirmative action is essentially that same flawed concept?

[–]rj20876 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

You would be wrong. Not arguing for or against it, but it's not close to the same. Since men are more likely to be predators, they are unfairly prejudiced in thus case. Actions of a few are applied to the over all.

In affirmative action, it is set on leveling a playing field in a system that has, in the past actively and passively been designed to supress minorities. This supression has led to real world affects that are still present today and reflected in areas such as socioeconomic status making it harder for a poor inner city black kid, which if you're black you're more likely to be than if you are white, obtain social mobility. Whether you participated in, or agree with it, past views and actions towards minorities have benefitted white people, much in the same way male dominance made it harder for women. Once again, I'm not arguing that affirmative action is a way to correct this, but it's a fact that these past actions have a causal relationship today and affirmative actions goal is to correct that.

Accusing a man of being in control and a woman of not having it is tossing out a deck of cards because a few are marked. Affirmative action is reshuffling a stacked deck.

I remember during orientation freshman year of college, they told us that NY state law states that if a woman has consumed any amount of alcohol, she is incapable of giving lawful consent and any sexual interaction with her could be considered rape. So that's why I never had sex with any girls

[–]AntManMax1 27ポイント28ポイント  (2子コメント)

Most laws state that whoever initiates sex if both parties are drunk is responsible. Which, in most cases, are guys.

That being said, you then run into the issue of it being a he said she said of who initiated sex. Sometimes "yeah I kissed her first so what" is enough to get someone convicted of rape.

[–]woowoo293 9ポイント10ポイント  (3子コメント)

This is due to the intersection of two legal principles that on their own sound perfectly reasonable, but produce a questionable result in rape cases. The principles are:

  1. A drunk woman (or person) cannot consent to sex. Seems perfectly fine. We don't want creeps taking advantage of intoxicated woman.

  2. People are liable for any criminal acts they perform as a result their from voluntary intoxication, at least for crimes of general intent.

Because rape is typically a crime of general intent, principle 2 applies. Because consent is a defense to a rape allegation, principle 1 applies. That's how we end up in the quandary.

Perhaps a more equitable way to look at it is to understand that the same outcome should apply if a drunk male accuses a drunk female of raping him. This situation is far less common and unfortunately not handled well by society, such as police. But in that case, the woman should absolutely be found guilty of rape.

Edit: changed some wording.

Yeah. I honestly consider myself a (male) feminist on most issues, but the issue here isn't what feminists think. It's what the law is.

Most states are run by Republicans (and rape is generally a state not a federal legal issue), and although rape law isn't really at the forefront in politics at the moment, I don't think they're so much concerned about feminism as they are about being old fashioned: "Rape is something men do to women, and rape is criminalized to protect women from men (who aren't their husbands)."

[–]SuperJo 27ポイント28ポイント  (1子コメント)

I don't fight men. In fact, I think the best way forward for women in the U.S. right now is to push the men's lib agenda. Women can't have the flexibility in lifestyle that we want unless men have the same.

Actually, this is what redditors think modern feminism is, not what it actually is. You gotta feed that persecution complex somehow.

[–]Pomguo 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Not at all. Believing that this in any way represents modern feminism is just swallowing the bullshit angry anti-feminists on the internet spew. Feminism has become a generic label ("wants women's position in society to come to an equal place with men") that can be misused, same as Christian or Liberal or Conservative or Socialist.

I would say that there is a big difference between a situation where both parties are equally inebriated and one where one party is taking advantage of the other.

But the point here is that they are viewed the same in the eyes of the law .

[–]MarkNutt25 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, that would make sense. But then again, when has the law ever made sense?

The reality is a lot more complicated. Legally speaking, it is possible for someone (whether male or female) to be convicted of rape if both parties are drunk. However, it's a case-by-case sort of thing and oversimplified crap like this misrepresents the actual complexities of the issues.

This happened to a guy I knew. The woman felt guilty about cheating on her boyfriend so she pressed charges even though they were both intoxicated and he was unaware of the boyfriend's existence in the first place.

See, to a certain extent I can agree with this. A woman is responsible for her actions, if you choose to get blackout drunk without a caretaker/friend looking after you then that's just irresponsible and you are putting yourself in a vulnerable position . I'm a woman and I consider myself a feminist but not in the sense I think most people think of when they hear feminism. I think the whole idea of saying men and women are the same is stupid. We are not. Men and women In general have different physical and mental strengths . Should we be treated with fairness? Yea. Should women be allowed to make her own decisions, the right to vote, the right to work? Yes we should. Is it wrong to take advantage of someone when they are intoxicated ? Yes it is. For both sexes.

I think women however are particularly vulnerable when intoxicated because unfortunately a lot of people see a drunk woman and try to take advantage of that situation and due to the nature of women and their physical capabilities they often are the victim (so to speak) in these situations l.

I've thought about this for quite a while. Treat women like children. Women want to be treated like children, and act like children, until it hinders what they want to do. They want to be spoiled children with tons of attention and no supervision.

At least, that's what this kind of behavior teaches us. Whether it's true or not, that's the subtext to this sort of thing.

It's called female privilege. Women are always assumed innocent and the male is always assume guilty. The worst example of this is "rape" allegations. A women how the power destroy people lives with the accusation of rape and man is always guilty until proven innocent.

Same with sexism accusations, they always take the word of a women as gospel.

I have actually seen ads like this in my middle school 5 years ago. Not exactly the same but similar, same with highschool. Ads like this exist.

I hate how feminism talks about women like they do no wrong. It's men that are the cause of everything that is bad in this world, point this out and get a shit storm. Hypocrisy is the reason why I can't take today's feminism seriously.

Those aren't real feminists man, don't confuse your run-of-the-mill angsty tumblr user with the actual feminism movement. Basically, the loud, hypocritical, obnoxiousx tumblr-angst female supremacy movement is to the entire feminist movement what the Westboro Baptist Church is to the entire Christian religion. It's definitely inappropriate to properly consider the smaller, more extreme group as a part of the larger whole

"Today's feminism" isn't feminism, anything that goes against or challenges the original movement of feminism(equal right for men and women) is not considered feminism, if you wanted to be correct anyway. If I see someone who has a incorrect view of the movement I'll correct then, same with Men's Rights Activism.

EDIT:let me rephrase that. People have views that do not go along with the ideal "equal rights for men and women", which is the original idea for feminism. Some people today have misconstrued that ideal, to the point where others have misconstrued the movement which is very unfortunate, it's a great movement.

Everyone is criminally responsible for criminal actions taken while they are drunk, stoned, or in any other way incapacitated. This has always been true of the criminal justice system, because if it weren't, bank robbers would just get plastered before putting their ski masks on.

If you're mad and think that people should be able to consent to sex while drunk/stoned/high/etc, then just say that. If you're mad and think the laws defining rape in many states make it easier for a man to be charged than for a woman to be charged, then say that. If you're not brave enough to make either of those arguments openly, then shut the fuck up and stop posting misleading bullshit.
