If a drunken girl follows a guy back to their room, they are not insinuating that they want to have sex. They may just want to make-out, or they may consider the guy "a friend" and just want to hang out away from a busy party. So I think his statements were out of line.
I do, however, feel that a lot of rape laws are unfair towards men. At least in California, if a girl is inebriated and she consents to sex drunk, the next morning she can technically say she's been raped if she thinks she would not have done it sober. Obviously I think any guy who would have sex with a woman who is drunk beyond coherency (ie, throwing up, having trouble standing, clearly not aware of surroundings, etc) is disgusting. But if she is not in that state, and is just party drunk, and she consents to sex and then later cries rape I think it is incredibly unfair on her part. She chose to get drunk and should take the consequences.
If she is in a state of total incoherency like I stated above, or the guy forced himself on her when she is drunk, then that is a whole different ballgame. But I think as the law stands it gives women too much wiggle room for an action they should take the consequences for...it is unfair to the guys if she originally consented, and it is unfair to all the women who are actually raped because her claims tend to invalidate REAL date rape in many people's minds.
I do however think that the ridiculous claims (if she dressed slutty she is asking for it, "no" means yes) are absurd and disgusting.
My other pet peeve is when women claim they were rufied when it was clear to everybody at the party it was not the case...a girl I knew once claimed she was rufied when everybody at the party saw this tiiiny girl take upwards of 7-8 shots over the course of an hour...it is just as likely she blacked out. Once again, a man accused of rape/rufies is essentially guilty in the public's eyes, and it is not fair to him. It is also not fair to women that actually were rufied because when the situation is obviously "not" the case, it invalidates future claims.

RI-FREAKING-DICULOUS. I can't believe there are people who actually believe that.
