RE: Whatever happened to the notion that one should be accountable for his/her actions?

"when is rape the victim's fault?"

That would depend on your definition of rape.


Snippet: "Under the bill, someone who is drunk, drugged, unconscious or asleep cannot grant consent."

We would agree on three of the four. But who determines (the next day or the following month)) if the young lady was indeed drunk? Moreover, does "drunk" in this case mean that she was merely tipsy, a tiny bit over the legal limit? If so, then she can claim "rape" the next morning even if she initiated the sexual contact and enthusiastically participated to its end.

That scenario is absurd and in no way constitutes rape. Perhaps I'm missing something, but according to the quote above, under this silly law our hypothetical young lady can ruin a young man’s life under the scenario I’ve just described. Once again liberals have overreached. This puts young men on the wrong end of a “Heads I win tails you lose” environment when it comes to the opposite sex.

And how long does the young woman have to come forward and make her allegation? Months? Years? One can easily imagine a situation in which the sex on the evening in question was consensual and mutually blissful….until the young man dumps her for another girl. At which point the “rape” allegation is made because the girl is bitter and an eyewitness saw them sharing a bottle of cheap Chianti. Yet another poorly conceived law fraught with potential problems.
