Yeah. There's a difference between having a couple drinks or smoking some pot, and being five bottles in and doing a much harder substance.

And even then id hesitate to call consensual sex with a long term boyfriend with whom you do hard drugs assault

I dont see how I couldve been interpreted as 1 drink = no agency

@pukeblood "according to WHO it does"

yeah their definition is right there lmao

all it says is "while drunk"

it CAN be interpreted that way, thats a problem

yes, so our discussion was over whether context and degree mattered. My statement was meant to be read as more or less 1 drink = no agency

"Drunk" means different things to different people, basically.

also from WHO; http://www.who.int/substance_abuse/terminology/who_lexicon/en/
"Intoxication is highly dependent on the type and dose of drug and is influenced by an individual's level of tolerance and other factors. Frequently, a drug is taken in order to achieve a desired degree of intoxication. The behavioural expression of a given level of intoxication is strongly influenced by cultural and personal expectations about the effects of the drug."

obviously these cases need to be solved uniquely, regarding the drinking ones, meanwhile a majority of the problem stems from relationship abuse and that doesnt seem to have come up in all the activism surrounding rape culture

@pukeblood, in my experience its a major topic of discussion amongst people informed on the topic

we trivialize drunk sex because its socially acceptable, even according to the CSA study, but I dont think we trivialize relationship abuse

Even less so when it comes to men. I know that is kind of out-of-nowhere, but even going off of that study, I don't think it's a leap in logic to assume that a lot of male victims of abuse don't report what is happening to them.

Laci Green for example, talks about this a bunch

Aside from the studies, for the sake of clarity, my only real "experience" with these kinds of issues is what I leaned while attending some lower-level criminal justice and law enforcement classes.

good, it SHOULD come up, we SHOULDNT ruin mens careers/futures for going to parties and having sex with culturally-defined consenting adults

i mean

one of my roomates had this whistle blown at him

the solution is to just

go to the police

so I get med

@pukeblood my best friend was falsely accused to.

On a *somewhat* related topic, my friend who is probably as left as one can be without going full-on "SJW" was called a racist recently.

extreme-left is racism, how left are they?

@JadenFrostwolf Rascism seems to be an ill-defined and poorly understood term these days. I went to weird high school with a lot of poor black kids (basically the school was situated such that it drew a middle class white population and poor black population

I would say "typical college indoctrinate" level, but not quite that far?

My friends said i was being rascist when i said the black kids were the kids who did all the fighting.

Facts ain't rascist yo

ooo but "hate facts" are

What he essentially said was that the children of Chinese immigrants might have a hard time adjusting to our culture.

That's it.

yeah ive seen people say "I like asian women" referring to dating preference, be called racist

stupid racist penis

Hey man, keep your holocaust cock away from us

Genocide by sexual preference ain't cool

tell that to every species on the planet

why wont that horse fuck that dolphin

god damn ignorant

Anyway, to bring the original topic back, I think abuse and domestic violence are issues that aren't specific to college campuses. People being victims of abuse and not wanting to or not being able to leave their abuser is something that happens everywhere, and this is definitely something that can be and should be brought up.

I forget what the study said, if it was more or less than what takes place outside of those colleges.
