WHAT Is ‘Consent’ To A Drunk?
When this conversation about campus sexual assault came up I was reading these stories about alcohol and consent, and I started to think about how blackout plays out in that. It’s a really gray area of consent. Blackout is not the same thing as passing out. A person having a blackout may look like they know what they’re doing. How the hell is a man, who might be drinking to excess himself, supposed to know that the woman he takes to bed is too drunk to consent? What if she accuses him of rape? I think it’s something that all of us would do better to understand.
