There are so many double-standards in modern life that I am chagrined at being unable to actually write them all down, or even, admittedly, know them all even if I were to attempt transcribing every instance.

So I'll just go with one at a time.
First, a question:

If a woman is at a place of suspect, with amorous dastards all over the place, and despite her better judgment, she gets drunk and is sexually molested - though in her inebriated state, she consents - which of the options is true:

1. It's all her fault for being a stupid, drunken whore.

2. It's all the guys fault for taking advantage of a drunken woman, even though he was drunk, as well.



Since a drunk woman 'cannot consent,' which basically means that she is not in a sober state of mind and any choice she makes may be against what she would normally do, it is unlawful to -- what, to have sex with her at all?
So we're all supposed to believe that a drunken woman is not allowed to have sex, because the man, then, has raped her?

What about the man? He's drunk, too! He cannot comprehend what he is doing because his mind; in fact, his sanity, is compromised!

So the answer to the question? Wrong! It was a trick question. The answer is 3. Both of their fault.

Why must I endure the endless babble of morons who have a double standard which they, themselves, are unaware of? If you don't understand your own position, then you have no argument.
Most people are going to say, "Oh, the girl was drunk! She is not at all at fault! I mean, dude; the VICTIM being at fault? That's ridiculous! It was all the man's fault! HIS HIS HIS!"

And if you stick your hand in a hive of bees to get their honey, then it's the bee's fault, too, right? Wrong?
Why is it wrong? It's wrong because you have a stupid, selective sense of morality.

I'm not one of those guys who says, "Well, she was dressed like a slut, so it's her fault she got raped."
No. Just HEARING that sentence makes me want to shoot someone in the face.
The guy should be sentenced to death, but the woman should get no recompense because it was her idiocy that created the situation wherein she could be raped.


Let this be a lesson to everyone: If you're in a beehive, don't drink alcohol, because you'll get stung and be molested by drunkards.


Or something like that.
