That’s not what he said, or implied.
I’m finding it interesting the way these arguments are being framed. As if some people seem to think that only men are creeps for taking advantage of drunk women. A problem no doubt, as we’ve learned from countless sexual assault accusations and stories from survivors, especially at frats and on various university campuses. But overall, there seems to be a lack of respect for the choices women make. It seems both patronizing and condescending to assume that women are so frequently victims simply for wanting to have fun by imbibing and then also engaging in sexual activity. There’s something puritanical and white knightish about the whole thing. As if women are so weak and powerless they need a man’s protection because they couldn’t have agency over their choices. It’s the type of discussion where the nuances and context matter so much. Ultimately each person involved in any encounter needs to respect the choices of their partner and know where to draw the line. It’s never as simple as one party being responsible for the actions of both.
