If you enter into a binding contract with someone while they are intoxicated to the point of impairment, the contract can be invalidated on those grounds as long as impairment can be proven in a court.
You can't give reasonable consent while impaired. If it can be further demonstrated that one party intentionally attempted to induce intoxication for the purposes of attaining contractual consent, they can be held criminally liable for that act.
Consent isn't only about sex. It's much murkier and dubious in cases of mutual intoxication and interpersonal relations. This poster is simply trying to make people aware of fairly basic laws regarding consent in the United States. And it's worth knowing.
Men generally have a higher tolerance for alcohol than women even if they are equal height and weight due to differences in alcohol metabolism. There's perhaps some embedded sexism in this poster's standards, but it's better to be informed than incarcerated.
Men also drink more than women. I've seen way more drunk men than women.
This poster implies that women become mindless defenseless fuckdolls after a few drinks while men become sexual predators without any impairments. And that's just stupid.
It does make it sound like drunk men are responsible for their decisions but drunk women are not responsible.
Curious what the organization's thoughts would be if a sober woman and a drunk man had sex.
Clearly the drunk man would be guilty or rape because he wasn't in a state to clearly assertain consent from the sober woman.
And you just created a completely false argument by simply assuming that whatever is happening is rape to begin with.
You assume, that men in this situation can only be an aggressor and nothing else, and whatever they're doing is automatically rape. And that's just plain wrong.
You're robbing both sides of their autonomy in the name of victimization.
Nah.
I am never buying a car sober again! "This one trick car dealers hate"
Trying buying a car with financing while demonstrably drunk and see how far you get. 😆
