In many cases, you are asking a boy whose judgment is impaired to make judgment calls on the amount of impairment of the girl, something that can be very hard for him to do. A boy can be drunk and not realize the girl is as drunk or drunker than he is.
I would expect a kid who gets into Stanford to realize that he should not finger a woman who is unconscious behind a dumpster.
But he was a DRUNK kid who got into Stanford. Brains and rational thought go out the window when you're that drunk. Women can't trust someone like that to care what they're doing.
True fact: I drank a lot of alcohol in college and did not finger any unconscious women behind a dumpster.
True fact: Not everyone has the same intelligence level, emotional maturity, social experience, impulse control, ability to handle alcohol,etc.
How about when in doubt, don't have sex with the person. No mental gymnastics or genius needed. Can't figure it out? THEN JUST STOP.

And when a kid gets so drunk that he forgets about consent, he should go to jail. If he can't control himself, he shouldn't drink.
Exactly. And our daughters need to know how to try to protect themselves from people like this one. Punishment after the fact doesn't change what the victim has to endure for a lifetime.
Girls who drink themselves into oblivion take a calculated risk that they will be taken advantage of in their inebriated state. So it has always been and so will it always be, regardless of what percentage of men or women who capitalize on their stupidity are punished.
Men who take the metro alone at night are taking a calculated risk that they will be beaten up and mugged in their vulnerable state. So it has been and so it will always be.
Fool.

This kid not only has never had a conversation about consent, but neither he nor his parents understand that what he did was wrong. Why let a little rape dim a bright future?

What is the line for a boy at a college party when a girl starts getting physical with him after she has had a drink? Is it one drink? Two? Three? Four? Five?
You tell me. What is the delineator? What is the exact conversation he should be having with her along the way?

There is no way that as a woman I will say that a strange man at a party is responsible for me and my drinking and my behavior. He isn't. If I'm willingly making out with him that's on me. But if I'm passed out behind a dumpster and he is doing as he pleases with my passed out body - that is 100% on him. There is poor judgement and there is sexual assault. This was without a doubt - non-consensual sexual assault. Thank God those Swedes showed up when they did.

No, IT WAS A RAPE, you idiot
Do you think a woman ever bears any responsibility re staying sober, not trusting drunk strangers, not walking down a street at 2 a.m. alone, etc? We're not doing any favors to perpetuate the myth that women can be and do anything they want and go anywhere they want without being responsible for their own safety to the degree possible. That's beyond naive and truly not very smart.
