I would like, if I may, to talk for a moment about alcohol. While I never saw the appeal, people tell me that they enjoy the feelings of freedom and lack of inhibition. That's great. On the other, hand, they also tell me stories of times they've drunk too much and done things that are stupid. Also great, for me at least.

Now, stereotypically speaking, plenty of men would have stories that culminate in a morning spent with a pounding headache and the realization that they've slept with someone they wouldn't have whilst sober. And we laugh at this scenario, because it's funny when people do things they didn't intend to do.

Let's look at this story the other way around.

A woman goes out drinking, and has a bit too much. She leaves on the arm of a man, openly to wake in the morning to find she'd rather not have spent the night with him, and certainly would never have done so had she been sober. It is at this point that she tells someone the story and the police are called. Why? Because this is, somehow, rape.

Excuse me?

What made the situations at all different besides the sex of the regretful party?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Let it never be said sexism is one-way.

And while I'm on the subject, why do women receive a magical take-it-back card when it comes to sex while intoxicated?

You are responsible for dancing on tables when you're drunk. You are responsible for public nudity when you're drunk. You are responsible for committing a crime when you're drunk. You are responsible for crashing your car when you're drunk.

So why the hell should you not be responsible for having sex when you're drunk?

Please, please stop pretending women don't make bad sex decisions.
