> then the women need to be treated like children and protected.

Mate, no. This applies to men, women, nonbinary folks, non-human animals, etc. Literally any living thing. If you don't consent, anyone having sex with you is wrong. It's wrong if a man tries to have sex with a drunk, non-consenting person, and it's wrong if a women tries to have sex with a drunk, non-consenting person.

This is the _opposite_ of making a decision for someone. It's recognizing that they kind of _can't_ make a decision, so you simply do nothing.

By non-consenting do you mean says no or didn't say yes?

non-consenting means not actively choosing the activity. Words or their absence are evidence from which someone might infer consent, but do not define it.

...so why is the part about them drinking in the story?

They were consenting adults, both well within their senses? Or was she like unconscious and he's an absolute monster?
