If anyone is so drunk they cannot consent to the act, nor form intent to do so, if they are THAT drunk and incapacitated?
It IS rape.
Or at the very least, sexual assault.
Tell boys not only to watch out for girls trying to "catch" them or get pregnant by them.
Tell boys not to be rapists, nor blame the girl for "letting him" rape her, while we're at it.
Teach your kids, both boys and girls, that BOTH parties need to consent and BOTH parties need to be sober enough to say yes. Period.
The UK has a video series out on abuse and rape, for everyone to watch. Some posted that here, some time ago. I can't remember who, but here it is, again:
http://thisisabuse.direct.gov.uk/A good rule of thumb is: if I have talk myself into something right now, it is definitely going to be the trouble I have to talk myself out of, later.
Likewise, if I am not 100% sure this is ok for me to do right now, then I can 100% choose to just not do it, and save it for another time.
And, condoms, condoms, condoms. Always.
