"A letter to … the girl who accused me of rape when I was 15"

[moriah]

187. I'm not a 15-year-old boy, so no, I don't think I should screw 13-year-old girls.

I'm not going to say what's legally "too young" for kids to fuck around with other kids of a like age. Otherwise, we'd be arresting 5-year-olds for playing doctor.

As for the booze, no, I'm not one of the people who thinks having sex with a drunk person is rape, if they're able to participate in the sex. Obviously if they're passed out, that's rape. The hairy area comes when the person is in a blackout -- it's very damn hard to tell if someone's blacked out, because they may speak, move, and act like they have full control of themselves. And in this case, we don't know if she was black-out drunk or not, since we haven't heard her side, if "Anonymous" wasn't just penning fiction out of whole cloth and actually was arrested.

Edit to add: If I had sons, would I teach them that's a Bad Idea to have sex with a drunk female? Yes, I would, and explain all of the consequences -- from false rape allegations if she doesn't remember to the fact drunk people rarely use condoms. I'd explain that even one drink should be enough for them to not have sex with that female, but also the things to look for so he knows if he needs to get help for that female if she's all over him rather than taking advantage of her drunkenness or letting others do so. If I had daughters, would I teach them that it's a Bad Idea to try to drink like the boys? Absolutely, and tell them exactly why it's so bad, which I know from personal experience (having been raped while passed out), along with mentioning again that alcohol impairs judgment about who you choose to sleep with and if you choose to use a condom.

But I'm not of the belief that two kids of a like age fucking is rape, even if she's had something to drink, if both parties are willing and able participants in the sex act. Stupid yes, and I wonder where the parents were in all of this, but not criminal.
