I want to say "everyone deals with grief differently and that's fine". But my mind refuses. Having been raped myself, this sort of thing seems like sensationalizing rape and it hits a raw nerve for me.
It could be all sorts of things. It's the internet - I treat most stories like this one with caution and simply try to avoid being judgmental. She could be f*cked in the head and/or a troll for all I know. But I disagree on principle, that you can't expect a man to stop f*cking. And I don't believe alcohol to be an excuse. Alcohol is not a magic potion - it doesn't make one a rapist, it just allows for temporary disregard for the consequences.
And I'll just reiterate my previous point - what if she did intend to go "all the way" and then during coitus she felt pain, anxiety, or panic, at which she changed her mind and wanted to stop - and the guy didn't. Would that be "par for the course"? Are we saying - if you decide to be intimate with drunk men, you should expect to be abused? Because I think I know a few drunks, who would object to that generalization. Or maybe we should criminalize "intimacy under influence" - since it's immoral and dangerous?
Personally - if I think most women are crazy to sexually engage with some (many) sexually aggressive guys I know, especially in situations, where intoxicants are involved. The whole concept of casual sex with strangers is fairly creepy and greatly disturbs me. It would be easy for me - as a misanthrope - to say that most people "deserve" what they get, for being retarded and doing all sorts of stuff I don't do. Like hitch-hiking - if you do THAT and get chopped up to pieces and buried in the forest - that's a fitting end, as far as I can tell. I mean - getting into a stranger's car, In the middle of nowhere? That IS crazy. And yet millions of people do it worldwide. And when one turns up chopped up - we don't usually say - "Yeah, well - he/she should have known better than to do THAT." And what about Uber? Damn - that's just asking for trouble...
But yeah - I try not to be judgmental...
