The specific case there appears to have been premeditated action on the part of the men. Whilst the females have to take some responsibility (either them or their parents) it was set up to prey on the idiots.

But in the generalities, I find it's "funny" that whilst a female can get drunk to the point of not bieng able to consent, why is this not possible with the male? Can't he be so drunk he is not aware of his actions either?

If either gender goes to a party and wants to remain in control then don't drink too much! It's not rocket science - and how young do you have to be before you don't know what alcohol does?

One can say that there is nore responsibility on the part of females. Only if one assumes that they are more concerned about who they sleep with. Else it can be said that those that are concerned be careful, and those who really don't care who or what they wake up next to can do as they wish.

Age differences... meet a girl at a nightclub. Over 18s only Do you still need to check her driver's license just to make sure - and ensure that you remain sober enough through the entire night to do this? So IMO it is more the place where the meeting happens that exact ages. Outside a school gate the onus is on the older party to prove innocence. At an over 18 event the young "innocent" can first explain what the hell s/he was doing there.
