Wow! First time reading this read and I'm shocked at some of the comments here considering some of the comments I've seen in other threads when it comes to the likes of a Christian Peter for one example. I wonder if this passed-out person had been female, if some posting in this thread would think of it differently. "Common Prank"? Hope your daughter never ends up passed out drunk. If she did she'd be at fault for her actions, but I don't think this common prank would be an equal reaction to her faulty behavior.
Last I heard, men treat other men differently than they treat women. I'm not saying what this jacka$$ did was entirely blameless. But it would have been a LOT worse if that had been a passed out girl. This is just the way society is. Isn't it?
Exactly.
Apples and Oranges.
I appreciate the feeback, but disagree. I'm a logic guy. If rubbing your genitals on a woman's face without her consent is considered sexual assualt (legally or otherwise), it should be if you do it to a male too. Just like a woman shouldn't be allowed to physically assault a male, just because old-time thinking would argue that scenario isn't possible (Women are a lot more badass these days). If you want to have a some type of agreement among friends that this is acceptable behavior, then so be it. I don't believe I've ever been part of a group of friends (acquaintences?) where one of us doing this to another would've been considered an acceptable prank.
Yeah but, this probably wouldn't have happened if it was a woman. So now where are we?
EDIT: also, I don't remember anyone defending the guy (that's what we call a strawman argument, since you're into the logic thing), and I wouldn't consider it an "acceptable" prank. The fact that it's not acceptable is the whole point of the prank.
