If I was drunk at a casino and started gambling, is the casino legally obligated to not take advantage of me?
I’m not talking about being unconscious. I’m talking about drunk but sober enough to make a decision (whether or not to gamble my money away). If I lost all my money gambling, and the next day complained to the management that they took advantage of me, would I have recourse? Should I be able to press charges against them? Or would they consider my claim ridiculous?
I ask because feminists like to claim that people (i.e. women) who are drunk and agree to sex are still raped. (what I like to refer to as “buyer’s remorse” sex)
While I don’t agree in taking advantage of a drunk girl, neither do I consider it a crime if she agreed to it. (I’m not talking about someone passed out – I’m talking about a drunk person who is sober enough to consent).
So would feminists try to use this same argument in Vegas if they lost their money, or do they only use this excuse with men?
@W: Not really. I'm arguing the principle, not the specifics. Your knee jerk (and I might add, retarded) reaction to my question betrays your lack of critical thinking and unwillingness to confront the issue.
@ Ya Coffee:
1.Sorry, but feminists use this argument all the time (not just on Y!A, but on discussion boards as well). Your denial does not change the fact.
2. Nobody said anything about downplaying rape, victim blaming or shaming (not sure where in my question you got that – are you on crack?). Your irrational and hysterical tirade that my question somehow promotes rape not only ruins your credibility, but just confirms what other people here already know (that feminists make up lies and try to put words into people’s mouths that aren’t there).
And what about feminists Up-playing rape? (creating overblown rape statistics in order to create a climate of fear amongst women and against men)? I don’t hear you complaining about that.
3. Legitimate rapes are abhorrent to me. I have always made that very clear in my personal life as well as on the internet. I have also made it clear that I am not anti-female (that is simply another shaming tactic people like you use.) Women who tell b
@ Sapient: Yes i do realize casinos don't want players go get too drunk (but that's not for the benefit of the player: that is for the benefit of the casino: Casinos not only want to make sure players don't cause trouble, they also want to make sure players aren't making bets they can't back up while they are drunk). However, my question remains legitimate.
@ YaCoffee: (my answer got cut off): Women who tell blatant lies (such as yourself) are part of the problem; by getting defensive and failing to address the real issue, you make it easier for REAL cases of rape to not be taken seriously. You are not pro-female, you are pro-feminist (BIG DIFFERENCE)
