Sex without consent - rape.In the situation you describe, the guy tricked you by putting you into a vulnerable situation. He didn't trick you into having sex, he tricked you into a situation where he could rape you. Of course I don't condone that. He physically assaulted you. Of course you have a right to defend yourself. Kick him in the balls, worse if you have to. That's very different than someone creating a situation that might be conducive to you "messing around", as the OP put it. I also drew a distinction in a previous post between the physical vulnerability of women in these situations, versus two men.
Use of alcohol as method of obtaining sex - possibly leading to sexual assault & grounds for charges or rape. 100% true and genuine consent just isn't possible when there's alcohol involved.
If both people drink, alcohol will affect both people. Yes, it can soothe situations, loosen the inhibitions but it can also push people into making assumptions, testing or flat ignoring boundaries and if that happens, the person who reacts isn't fully in control either.
Your language towards me is understanding and sympathetic, you're being nice and holding back on the sarcasm, at least til the end. You're treating me and that situation differently because of that distinction between how vulnerable a woman is and how vulnerable a man is. You condone my use of violence and encourage harsher for self defense but you find it abhorrent for a man to do the same, I don't and I don't distinguish what is and what isn't rape by gender.
Whether male or female, if your intent is to use any method of trickery, deceit, manipulation, force, alcohol or the like to get someone to sleep with you because there's very high chance they'd say no otherwise, you're heading for a whole shitload of trouble.
Straight guys are taking this topic to heart because they can put themselves in the position of the OP's friend and imagine how that would feel, to be used like that and valued on the same level as meat. Literally.
Trust is such a big part of a friendship, it shouldn't be so casually treated and the OP's cavalier attitude towards that has really riled people up, myself included.
A lot of people argue with what isn't there, especially when things aren't clear and there's more to be considered than the present moment in time.
Intent, probability, possible outcome, statistical likelihood...
Better that people argue about this right here and right now, making the possible consequences of ill conceived notions apparent so that others may learn a really valuable lesson and hopefully not put themselves or their friends in a position or situation that's so incredibly wrong on so many levels and which could turn extremely nasty.
