I don't get it, if the man is drunk he isn't thinking straight either. Though I guess that argument doesn't work for drunk driving.

If you get drunk and murder someone you're not excused. Committing a heinous act while drunk does not get you off scot free.

This implies that women are incapable of rape. I don't really see what's wrong with that one, either. To clarify, when it mentions that both are drunk I'm taking the assumption that it means "too drunk to consent" not like some situation where the woman is passed out and the man had like, one beer. If you and someone else drank so much that you can't really remember the night before but you're pretty sure the two of you had sex, at worst it's a regrettable night but it's not rape.

But you still had sex with someone who couldn't consent. Yes, you were drunk, but if you initiated the sex, you had sex with someone who could not consent.

That's a false equivalence. More like you're blind drunk and you crash into the car of another driver who is also blind drunk and neither of you die and also your insurance covers the damages. Or maybe they crashed into your car? Neither of you remember in any case

Also the one other thing I glossed over about that first image is that MOST likely in such a scenario the other person wouldn't be accusing you of rape. It not impossible, but I think it would be unlikely, so again the image comes from some dude projecting his fears of women.

In that case the other driver was also doing something wrong. If someone is drunk, and you initiate sex with them, you and only you are raping someone.

Okay now repeat this but with the genders reversed.

Pretty sure that was sarcasm.

Literally no one is arguing that loving someone too drunk to consent isn't rape. The scenario in question asks whether two people too drunk to consent to sex having sex with each other counts as rape. I'm arguing it doesn't.

Literally no one is arguing that murdering someone while drunk isn't murder. The scenario in question asks whether a drunk murderer killing a drunk person counts as murder. I'm arguing it doesn't.

Okay so you are in the "both of them are rapists" camp. That's cool. Are they allowed to both press charges against each other and send each other to jail then?

Being drunk does not excuse you from consequences for crimes you have committed. If you're drunk and you rape someone, you have still raped someone. If you're drunk and you rape someone who's drunk, you have still raped someone. Just because they're drunk too doesn't mean it magically becomes not rape.

I just take issue with painting all the users of a site that's designed to appeal to the most amount of people possible with the same broad, gross brush. It's disingenuous to call something "the Reddit community" when that encompasses everyone from Adam Savage to some dude in a trailer park.

I've been accused of being a radical queerpunk Tumblrina because I've asked people to not use words like "tranny" and have been called a Feminazi so really I'm just going to lay my cards on the table and let you extrapolate from there.

you seem like you would be the first to shout "not all men!" or "all lives matter!" because you feel that the fact that a bunch of middle class white dudes might be maligned is worse than what people are actually complaining about

I thought gamegaters were also literally guilty of aiding and abetting international terrorism. Or at least of harboring an rear end in a top hat who was aiding and abetting international terrorism.

There was "Australi Witness" who was a gamergater who pretended to be a member of ISIS and became really popular despite being an American Jewish kid who was just "trolling."

It's just "three or more people shot" because it shouldn't really matter how deadly the shooting was if they at least attempted to kill a bunch of people. They count gang and drug related shootings because there's not really any reason to not count them. It's not like those aren't a problem too.

Most of what we know about treating frostbite comes from nazi experiment. They'd freeze people and experiment on ways to heal them. They observed the stages of frostbite, and so on. It was not so good thing but what they learned ironically help many people in our modern society.

No, their experiments were really lovely and taught us basically nothing.

That loving chili recipe makes me so mad. Why do you need to shake your spice mixture!? Why are you just putting the exact spices that are in that spice packet in!? You're not even adding like something new and interesting. You are not a bad rear end because you can make chili. Add in waffles and scrambled eggs and you are a grill away from being a Midwestern dad.

And there are like three vegetables in that entire album: some bell peppers, what amounts to a spring in the crunchwrap, and tomatoes. They're all getting scurvy.

don't forget the green beans in the chili
