    Two people of similar intoxication levels can consent.

    The whole point is that intoxicated people can’t consent - like at all.

      So if two intoxicated people have sex, they’re always raping each other?

        If only one person is intoxicated is it always rape?

        The answer is yes, because intoxication is involved.

            The point here is that any intoxication is bad - negative is its characteristic. Doubling that negativity doesnt make it any better than if it was just one person intoxicated.

                So now you’re declaring a moral judgement on drinking?

                Not what is said.

                since it would mean both parties have committed crimes against each other

                And that would be true. Let me rephrase it: intoxication inhibits your ability to consent - meaning all intoxicated participants are unable to consent.

                This isn’t about drinking morality, its about involving sexual acts while being intoxicated. There is a clear difference.

                But to say, it looks like youre declaring the rape culture an insignificant thing - as long as everyone is drunk equally it somehow becomes OK to have sex with everyone?

          I once raped my wife, then. She was drunk, came back home drunk and wanted to fuck me hard. I told her I didn’t feel like it was right to have sex with her in such condition, but she just didn’t want to hear about my decent comments and told me to get off my high horses and just fuck her. So I did. Should I be ashamed of myself? Because, I’m not, it’s not like its something easy to forget, but in a good way.
