Literally every time you reply you give more examples in your language of why you're the asshole here. I'll help you out once in this response by quoting you: "it seems like you're just a moron who wants to feel superior"; calling people morons on the internet is a first class ticket to sounding like an asshole.

He had no reason to believe she was open to sex. He got too drunk and had no self control. He didn't respect her when she said no. It's all rather simple. I don't think he's a monster, I do think he has seriously fucked up. I do think if she wants to seek an answer to this in the judicial system he should be rightfully found guilty. Which is where I took umbrage with your earlier comment. If she seeks to report this to the police and charges are brought I would hope that 12 reasonable people could see this for the sexual assault it is.

Also wild for you to come at me assuming double standards. It's not about the first attempt to reach in her pants. It's about the fact that she clearly told him no and he continued. In the reverse situation I would still be adamant that a woman on the same situation would be guilty of sexually assaulting her friend.

Also "a good portion 1000 twenty-one year old guys drunk in a makeshift bed with their girl friend would also attempt sexual assault" is not really the argument you think it is.

Look, people have been doing enough criticism without the constructive part. Yes, we can all acknowledge that this was a life changing event. The question is what is appropriate moving forward.

My first thought is don't contact her. Anything between you and her is now forevermore completely up to her.

My next thought is that despite the immense difficulty involved in acting out this decision, go to the police and report the sexual assault. Yes this could be emotionally damaging to the woman having to relive this, but if it isn't dealt with in a positive therapeutic way it will have much bigger psychological impacts if left unaddressed.

Doing that is incredibly difficult and scary. Thinking that is selfish. It's also COMPLETELY NATURAL to be worried about the consequences to yourself. We are people, not messiah's.

You have a choice to do something scary but is right. You will still have a life moving forward. You will correct these actions. You didn't drunk drive and kill someone.

I'm not certified in any way to give counsel or shit like that, this is just my thoughts. It is bad, it could have been MUCH worse. Take responsibility, and I truly wish you the best moving forwards with your life.
