Why does a drunk or inebriated woman get a pass for being negligent concerning her situational awareness?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) March 19th, 2014

If a woman was as drunk as this this woman, and she got played, dragged off somewhere and rode hard and put away wet, people will attempt to absolve her of any fault for her being attacked or assaulted. If she was behind a car would we say it was not her fault she crashed her car? What if she tumbled down stairs or down a steep arroyo and broke something, still not her fault? If I left my home unsecured and it was robbed I am not responsible because people should have respected my Constitutional right and not trespassed on my property or that which I legally controlled? Roll your eyes if you will but any person who gets so inebriated they can’t even function or be aware of what is going on around them are part culpable in any ill effects that happen to them. AND NO, I am not saying a woman drunk like that deserve to be assaulted but I will say she set up conditions that make an assault more likely or easy. If she is assaulted the person who assaulted her is wrong, but that doesn’t make her negligence to be diligent of her situational awareness at all times irreproachable.
