59. I see what you're saying but look at it this way
first of all, as the penetrator, the one with the penis can generally more easily take advantage of the situation.

Is it even possible for a man (hypothetically speaking) to be nearly passed out drunk to the point of not being able to say no and get it up against his will, so to speak? Not sure if that made sense or not....

I guess I am trying to say that in this situation, the alcohol made for bad decision making on both their parts at the very least - hers in that she let him into her room (which is legal), and his for possibly forcing himself on her (which is not legal). I don't know - it's up to the jury to decide, but I'd say that there is truth to the claim that a lot of people will blame the victim of rape, and I can understand being sick of it.
