New rape laws go too far, say barristers | NEWS.com.au
So, let me get this straight.
I go to the pub, get totalled, some chick picks me up (yeah, happens all the time, have to beat them off with a stick, etc - bear with me ^_^), we go back to her place, do the deed... she gets knocked up....
Whats to stop me taking it to court and saying that *I* was drunk and didn't consent, to thus get out of child support? What's to stop *her* claiming rape, when she was the instigator? Not allowed to claim that if you're male? Isn't that sexual discrimination?
Whilst rape is terrible, etc... this new law is broken...
Comments?
edit:
What about gays? If the law excludes males from being able to claim that yes means no (or rather, that they were not coherent to legally consent) when drunk, how does that work?
