Women are to blame for being raped

[Az]

Convictions in such situations are tough to acheive, even if the facts are such that she did say no and some force was used. Its tough to convict when the main witness may have been blacking out during much of the crime

Why the hell should the guy be sued at all? might as well say the girl raped him.

yes they can, and I'm going to assume that its fairly infrequent, but that could just be a complete burying of the statistics.

Very rare for women to commit rape in the Uk.

Since they can't commit it, it's very rare indeed! Sexual assault cases are also very low, IIRC. Yes, it's a lot less likely to happen than it is the other way around, however as with all sexual crimes, especially those involving a lot of stigma attached (being sexually assaulted by a women would be a prime example of this), that only a very small percentage are reported.

My thoughts exactly!

Uk law is very specific and women can and have been prosecucted for male rape. rare in this case isa handfull of cases.

Did you even READ my quote? The guy should be charged if he used force when someone said no. The fact that both are drunk should be irrelevent but it isn't because it impacts witnesses ability to recall. Its tough to get a conviction when the victim has to admit they don't recall portions of the events .

If its about being too drunk to give consent, I agree that I don't see why, in law, there shouild be a greater duty on the guy to ascertain the consent of the gal than the converse

It wasn't a direct reply to you, to be honest, it's about the second part.
