Hear me out here: this is a case for feminism. Real feminism, with equality as its goal, not the mockery that gets created and elevated by the stupid fucking culture wars. It's not that men can consent while drunk. It's that men can't ever not consent, and it comes from the deep-seated misogynist idea that men are dumb animals that would fuck a hole in the wall and aren't responsible for their actions. In a lot of cases that "boys will be boys" line of reasoning is used to limit men's exposure to repercussions for sexual misconduct, but the relatively new phenomenon of filing rape charges when the woman is intoxicated has taken that abhorrent stereotype and turned it into the idea that women can't consent while drunk but men can because, again, men can't ever not consent.

I believe the term "feminism" have a discrimination connotation, maybe we should invent something like equalism.. sounds more accurate at least for me.

That is actually a major concern for feminism atm. The old guard stands by the term but it's toxic to the people it needs to reach.

You ask an angry young man if he's a feminist, he'll say no.

You ask him if he agrees with most feminist points, he'll usually say yes.
