An intoxicated person cannot consent to sex. If you see someone about to assault an intoxicated person, you have a duty to step in, even if you don't know them or fear conflict. The excuses we make to stay silent don't hold up.
If you're drunk, can you consent to sexual activity? Yes or no? No. No, you can't. Alright, so, and everybody knows that. So even if Aaron goes up to Jordan and says, hey Jordan, I want you to do me, or makes whatever comment they make, that's not consent because Jordan knows this person's not of sound mind. This person's incapacitated. So we automatically would have sexual assault if that takes place. Alright, so yes. So let's come back to this. If we know that, that we have a setup for a rape scene right here, knowing that, Is this worth intervening? Yes or no? Yeah. So we can't say that hey, we're afraid of conflict because in this case we believe the conflict is worth it. So there's none of those excuses to really stop us from intervening. So what's the real reason? Well, what happens is we try to disconnect ourselves from the two people and tell ourselves something like well, we don't know what's going to happen. We try to play the odds so we don't have to intervene because we don't have a personal connection. And I get that because I didn't always stop a Jordan.
