Would you feel bad for a woman who flirted all night, drinking heavy, and passed out and got sexualy asaulted?

Question

My thinking is no, not really, not on a personal level. Just as I wouldn't feel very sympathetic to someone who sniffed glue all day and then jumped into the tiger pit at a zoo. Offcourse I would want the guy who did it to be punished to the full extent of the law. Two dumb people made really stupid decisions that night, the girl literaly got screwed so the guy should atleast get legaly screwed as much as possible, and maybe screwed in jail lol.

But to pass off the woman as some innocent who did no wrong, that's really pushing it. If you live a reckelss lifestyle you get wrecked, right? What do you all think?

PS: I do not inted to blame the victim, this isn't a question of who is to blame.

Also I know this can be a touchy subject so I apologize in advance if it rubs anyone the wrong way.

Again the question being asked is: 'WOULD YOU FEEL SYMPATHY FOR HER?' Not if she was the victim, if it was a crime, was it wrong. Obviously all those answers are 'Yes', it's 'WOULD YOU FEEL SYMPATHY FOR HER?'

Answer 1

Well if she put herself in that position to begin with, it's hard for me to have any sympathy for her. Yes, the guy who did that should get what's coming to him but the woman should've known better than to put herself in that vulnerable state.

Answer 2

I would feel sympathy for her, just not as much as if she had been sober, or not flirting. Oh, you can pass out for other reasons, too. I have never drank, but I have passed out before. This guy would probably have assaulted her any way. You're right, no question, this loser belongs in jail.

Answer 3

authentic is right and incorrect remains incorrect. you could no longer set up a concern that in the time of all probability finally leads to a criminal offense and say the ends justified the potential, or that she asked for it. If she replaced into assaulted, this is nevertheless a criminal offense. i'm able to in basic terms sense for the wrongdoer of the crime, and my thoughts for that individual are that they need to be punished and that they have been incorrect. i'm no longer even going to decide and condemn the girl. this is likely one in each and every of the topics interior the criminal device at present, the shown fact that they attempt to discover a thank you to assert 'she asked for it', or 'she deserved it'. there is not any justification for rape, ever.

Answer 4

Nobody deserves to be sexually assaulted even if she did pass out and did not take responsibility for herself. Assult is assault. Just because she drank, flirted...and passed out doesn't' mean she wanted to be sexually assaulted.

You should never have sex with an intoxicated person. They are not under the proper mind frame to make such decisions.

Innocent in the sense that she didn't ask for the assault yes. However not street wise in terms of taken measures to try not to prevent this type of situation from occurring. Doesn't mean she's not innocent.

A woman that walks down a dark alley at night with nobody around that gets raped is it her fault? No but she couldn't have taken different measures to ensure her safety.

Answer 5

I was in this situation once, girl had too much to drink, very flirtatious when she had too much to drink and behaved in a manner that was not her. She passed out despite my efforts and that of the bartender (and her friends) to cut her off. Got her home and got her to bed and that was it. Molesting an attractive but comotose female never crossed my mind. That would be sick for the same reason pouncing on a vegetative female in a hospital ward would hold no attraction to me. No capacity for consent period. To think otherwise is pure bovine feces. In a situation like that, responsible people are called upon to act in a responsible manner. Is chivalry really that dead where a question like this needs to be posed? This knight would stand up and do the right thing. Besides, I prefer my nights of passion to be a memorable event, not one for CSI Tampa.

Answer 6

I agree that passing the woman off as an innocent is something I'm not sure I agree with. However, just because she was drinking all night and flirting does not mean that she "asked for" anything; as people (not you) might say. I also feel the same about a guy being assaulted, for those of you who would have no pity for a man in her shoes. I mean, it was a stupid situation; and the guy was a douche. What I say, is if the girl passed out and had NO way to prevent it from happening; REGARDLESS of her state, she's more innocent than people give her credit for....but I still don't necessarily agree with her choice of party plans. It's a tough call. Were I in that situation, I would still expect justice exacted just as though I were mugged and taken advantage of; but I still think I would have the sense to say that I wasn't the most responsible person when it came to decision making. *Shrugs*.

Answer 7

Yes, I would feel bad for her. While it is true that she could have taken steps to avoid her situation, some things cannot be helped. On the same level, I would feel bad for a guy who was drinking heavily all night, and talking loudly only to later pass out and get shanked for something he said. The base matter is, something unfortunate happened, no matter how much stupidity brought it about.

Answer 8

No matter WHAT she does, there is NO excuse for someone doing ANYTHING to her without her consent. If she was passed out, that means she was UNCONSCIOUS and therefore UNABLE to give consent! Most guys would NEVER do something like that, so if a guy can't control himself, it's HIS problem!

And this situation is nothing like "someone who sniffed glue all day and then jumped into the tiger pit at a zoo". It is like someone who sniffed glue all day and then was pushed into the tiger pit by someone else because they were too out of it to defend themselves. Sure, sniffing glue (or drinking heavily) is bad for your health and may lead you to make poor decisions. But jumping into a tiger pit, (or deciding to have sex with someone), is NOT the same thing as being pushed into the pit, (or being sexually assaulted).

Oh, and the answer to "would I feel sympathy for her?" is obviously 100% YES!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

I would feel sympathy for her because it's really horrible to be assaulted especially on a really intimate level. How would you feel if it happened to you? She may have been stupid to get drunk, but it doesn't make it right that she got assaulted. Legally, if someone is unable to give consent to sex due to being incapacitated in some way such as being drunk, then it is still rape.

Answer 10

Is a person stupid or reckless or to blame for flashing a Rolex watch and then getting mugged? Is that person asking for it? Or is the person driving a Lexus asking to be carjacked? Even if they drive in a not so great neighborhood? No, no, no and no.

Flirting and drinking does not mean someone wants to get raped. She may have made some poor decisions, but she is not to blame because some creep assaulted her - guess he can't get girls who are conscious??

Get a brain - I can't believe you actually asked this question.


And i want to know who is the misogynistic ****** who is giving a thumbs down to all the answers that say the woman is innocent because she did not give consent?

Answer 11

No one deserves to be assualted no matter how promiscuous or inappropriate their behavior. It's the same as blaming prostitutes for getting murdered because they lead a dangerous lifestyle; for many, if not most, it is all they know and they have no one to help them escape their lifestyle.
A girl was gang raped in a New Bedford bar some years ago and they made a movie out of it with Jodie Foster; the same thing, people blamed the victim.
