[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know...male or female, if the story is essentially that they had consensual sex but were really tired (and then voluntarily went to the person's house for a second round of consensual-but-tired sex) and then dated the person for 8 months because of a guilt trip? Nope. [/quote]

As a woman, I want to feel empathy for this man.

My truth is that it takes enough of my mental and physical energy to navigate the waters of interacting with men to protect my own safety from being sexually assaulted, whether that is going out of my way to avoid cat-called while walking down the street, groped on the metro, hit-on at work, making sure I am sober to give consent to sex or knowing when to trust a man I date to not rape me, to then also add to MY responsibility as a 5'3" 125 pound woman, that I could one day be accused of raping a 200  pound, 6 foot tall man who has a months- long relationship with me, later to claim it was all forced and against his will. Exhausting. [/quote]

Nice to know that you think being small absolves you from the responsibility of the law.

Consent is consent - whether you are 120 lbs and your victim is 200 lbs, or vice versa. If the other party has consumed alcohol in enough quantity that their judgement is in question, and you haven't - then you are in a position that they may not be able to legally consent. That has nothing to do with size, weight, gender, race.. And everything to do with the fact that they are legally unable to consent. And if they say no.. It means no. Whether they are male or female, 130lbs or 200lbs. Why is that so hard to understand? [/quote]
