Part of the problem is society’s failure to act responsibly and I’m not belittling the subject or seeking to support the view that rape isn’t a serious crime because I firmly believe it is. But in your argument do you consider it to be rape and to be punishable when an individual goes out on a Saturday night, get inebriated beyond reason, exposed themselves in public and encourages other individuals to touch them and then goes home with them, indulges in sexual acts then goes home and then wakes up in the morning regrets what they’ve done and then accuses a the other individual of Rape? Is it rape or is it that the individual failed to take responsibility for there own actions?
