Alcohol plays a misogynistic role in rape.
If the perp was drunk, it excuses his behaviour. It means he didn’t have capacity, or didn’t mean it, or didn’t understand.
If the victim was drunk, it becomes a reason to blame her for being reckless, promiscuous & unreliable.

@DrJessTaylor fancy a @WombPodcast tonight?
