Rape and Sexual Assault are serious crimes that need to be dealt with.
However . . .
You seem to equate Drunken/inebriated/alcohol involved Sex with Rape. There is a huge difference between a girl who is drunk and feeling less inhibited that chooses to sleep with a guy (and maybe regrets it in the morning), versus a girl that is passing out on her feet. Many women that are making these arguments seem to never differentiate between the two, or see no difference at all.
Many of the cases you are talking about involve women that were certainly not passing out, but had to face the proverbial walk of shame the next day and regretted doing it (especially if the boy never calls her).
Further, Rape and Sexual Assault, are serious legal charges that need to be proved. It is unfair to use them to describe situations that are more indicative of regret and bad judgement.
I see no need for me and other males to feel some universal guilt and walk on egg shells for crimes that we have not committed OR for the regret of some women for their own actions.
So please stop trying to force men in general to wear a garment of guilt and shame for the evil or misjudgements of others.
Have a a nice day!

As for this whole rape issue...1) at my campus, greek or not, rapes were known about by the student body and reported on. 2) if a woman sees a man completely wrecked, can't talk/walk and such, and could easily be taken advantage of, she should call him a cab and send him home, just like the fraternity brothers should do for a woman they see. I don't understand what's so hard to see in that!!! Have a little respect for each other for the love of pete (I don't know who pete is )!
Finally, for James...bitter much?!? Come on, you can't possibly believe that a woman at a party who has too much to drink and is not really in control of herself is preying on some guy do you?!?! I'm not saying the guy is evil, but he's a total asshole if he rapes her in that state! Plain and simple.
