[quote=Anonymous]Emily stated that she wasn't a party animal but that she was "social" and had blacked out 4 or 5 times previously.

Both parties exercised very poor judgment, but his poor judgment is a crime and hers isn't.

That's really the bottom line. If we want men to understand it's not okay to take advantage of very drunk women, then people like Brock need to be prosecuted.

If you think he's being treated unfairly, then likely so do many others, and he will be able to find work, make friends, date again, etc.

But to find him not guilty when witnesses saw him dry humping an unconscious person would have really sent a bad message to men, some of whom think unconscious  women are fair game.

OTOH, the guilty verdict is also saying (to some) that getting blackout drunk is AOK--that women should not have to take reasonable steps to protect themselves. Maybe Emily should have acknowledged her own stupidity, but I'm sure she didn't want to talk about that, given that Brock and his posse were placing 100% of his actions on alcohol and promiscuity.
