Women must make responsibl­e decisions

-

Re ‘Clearly, a drunk can consent,’ March 3

The Halifax judge who ruled “drunks can consent” made a responsibl­e ruling instead of a political one, and should be commended not protested.

The law states clearly that adults be held responsibl­e for their actions. That includes women.

People who can’t make responsibl­e decisions, male or female, under the influence of alcohol should not drink. Not buy a drink. Not let anyone buy them a drink. You are your own liquor control board.

Men are not excused for actions under the influence. No one should be. With equal rights comes equal responsibi­lity. That is simply part of being an adult. Rick Lockman, Orillia
