the first sentence provides the path for interpretation based on the fact that there are observable stages of drunkenness


Oh bullshit. Every stage of "drunkenness" is still drunk and that's all he said.

I believe the most important sentence to his purpose for expressing that is "it's not OK unless she can affirmatively consent," and that takes precedent over the rest


But he is directly saying any woman drunk cannot "affirmatively" consent.

the vitriol of the phrasing exists to draw discourse to the subject and your literal reading of it diminishes the contextual validity for the cases where it can indeed help, but unlike darkman's legitimate point about clarity on this interpretable nature of 'drunk' to help stifle abuse of systematic punishment, you appear to merely find interest in semantic entrapment and outing a mispositing of position


"I think this"
"I agree with that."

"Why do you agree with that?"


"OH STOP TAKING WHAT I SAY LITERALLY AND PRETEND I SAID SOMETHInG ELSE!"

Jesus christ your entire stance and attitude is stupid. You're literally arguing that we should not listen to or engage you and just decide for ourselves what you mean.

No say what you fucking mean or fuck off. That's life Charlie. Either you agree with what Biden said or you don't. You don't get to change what he said and still say you agree, that way madness/Christianity lies.

I don't get why you don't have the balls to either say you disagree and take an anti-Biden stance or say you agree and take a very firm stance on drunk sex.

Taking both stances and neither stance and then getting angry at people talking to you is just utterly stupid and makes me want to slap you like this:

A woman drives drunk and kills 3 people-shes a criminal

A woman gets drunk and has sex with a guy-she';s a victim

Wtf kinda logic is this? If a woman is drunk I have every right to have sex with her. I'm not going to wait for her to sober.

i have to emphasize that the title IX director had to put out an official statement that they created gender discrimination by treating any drunk party as incapable of consenting, rather than incapacitated by alcohol

it is extremely important to make the distinction between 'cannot legally drive' and 'cannot legally consent' because the two are worlds apart

I mean he's 100% right. I've never had anything get physical (tossed a guy out of the bar once but he unfortunately didn't swing on me) but I've given rides, informed bartenders, played middle man to keep people safe.

Im also not talking about people that are drunk because drunk men/women banging is fine. Im talking fall over, slurring, not making sense drunk.

It's scummy to let guys try and take advantage of people. Same could be said in reverse as well. It's not sexist I just haven't seen it.

he didn't clarify a threshold, hence why interpretation exists, and I previously noted his own example of having a woman "taken," showing lack of autonomy, while he did not provide context for a lesser situation

You're literally arguing that we should not listen to or engage

no, I'm literally saying it should be engaged and discussed
you're the one exhibiting a desire not to engage the statement, you are trying to poll out agree/disagree minus any contextual basis and ignoring connotation, despite that I expounded my thoughts on the phrasing, since that doesn't really lead into more rhetorical questioning to feed your interest
sorry that semantic arguments don't work out when fleshed discourse follows from simple statements instead

No say what you fucking mean or fuck off. That's life Charlie. Either you agree with what Biden said or you don't. You don't get to change what he said and still say you agree, that way madness/Christianity lies.

I don't get why you don't have the balls to either say you disagree and take an anti-Biden stance or say you agree and take a very firm stance on drunk sex

I said what I mean in the countless other posts you didn't quote since I addressed the root issue and not Biden's statement verbatim
I have no interest in Biden's semantic control, believe that the intonation of his words was purposefully emotionally motivated, and don't plan to post per your attempts at regulated conversation
what he said wasn't changed, it was explored
he was campaigning against an issue to incite response, and his brevity is to be expected, whereas we have the ability to take it, develop, and consider those implications and the situational nature of sexual assault and consent

that's both more important and interesting
perhaps if you only wanted a 'do you agree/disagree' topic you should have added a poll and more overtly asked??

then getting angry at people talking to you

this is invented
I like people talking to me, I enjoy conversation
I am sorry that me contesting your attempt to stifle context incites a desire for physical violence

but I feel like what's being conveyed is speaking out about the more obvious incapacitated people.

I don't agree because then that's not a controversial statement and as such he wouldn't be annoucing it. Yet alone wording it as drunk.

"don't let people rape unconcious bodies in front of you." doesn't need a movement in the US

Asherlee10 posted...


All in all, I think that some users are being purposely coy and trying to think of very specific scenarios that make what's being conveyed (in general) mucky. Not saying those scenarios don't happen, they do and we should talk about them, but let's not dismiss the general message of "yo, that dude can't even stand, I should make sure he's going to be alright."

But the point is that wasnt the general message.

His own example is flawed, if both the male and female are going off together and they're obviously smiling, in high spirits, whatever, you're not just gonna go full Mohammed and try to intervene, that would be sociopathic behavior.

the verbaige 'drunk' rather than 'incapacitated'


I don't disagree and I think that he could have been way more specific. On that note, I think a certain sentiment is being conveyed that is not so vague. There are certainly grey areas, but I feel like what's being conveyed is speaking out about the more obvious incapacitated people.

I'll use a male instead of a female for a scenario. If I go to a house party and I see that there a very incapacitated young man (barely awake, can't walk, etc.) being led to a bedroom by a group of girls, I would certainly ask what's going on. Probably wouldn't be accusatory and would ask something like, "Hey, are y'all taking him to a safe bedroom go lay down since he's passed out?"

All in all, I think that some users are being purposely coy and trying to think of very specific scenarios that make what's being conveyed (in general) mucky. Not saying those scenarios don't happen, they do and we should talk about them, but let's not dismiss the general message of "yo, that dude can't even stand, I should make sure he's going to be alright."

some people got expelled from university for putting the garbage in the wrong place


WTF?


the problem is university tribunals were expelling male students accused of rape with the evidence being 'female had consumed alcohol'

not 'female was incapacitated by alcohol'. the situation was so obviously not rape that the title IX director had to weigh in and call them out for applying a discriminatory standard and directly stated he would have ruled differently from the tribunals had he been the one running the case.

that's how it dovetails into your analogy and i think it is why people are harping so much on the importance of being specific

one of the nice things about it is this is the rare chance where being specific helps victims of false accusation without hurting victims of rape

normally the situation is treated as zero sum

Joe Biden can go fuck off. He's not the vice president anymore. What, he wants men to be vigilantes now? Fuck that shit. Every time I turn on the radio, watch a Youtube video involving feminists, or watch a Star Wars movie, there's a woman telling me she don't need no man.

Go get Beyonce to fight Biden's battles. I'm already doing my part by not raping anyone.

Yes, expecting men to be decent people and do the right thing. How dare he.


What about expecting women to be responsible for their actions? Is that sexist?

"Everyone understands this already. we all know the difference."

Then why is Biden doing speeches about it? Why is it international news?

It's undeniably clear that people are not on one page about this, that's been made obvious by the fact among the people agreeing with Biden half are literally pretending he said something else because they don't agree with him

one of the dangerous/challenging things about moralizing (suggesting all who oppose the idea are cowards) is that people who come out against his statement over the details get painted as being against the entire idea of bystanders preventing rape
