Emily Atack says men can ‘get away’ with sleeping with drunk people

Emily explained: “I went through life thinking that if you wake up after a night out and something has happened but you don’t really remember it, you just have to suck it up and get on with it. to… it’s just not worth going down that road of ‘but I can’t remember, I don’t remember any of that.'” “Yes, terrible,” she added. “I’m I’ve woken up so many times and thought: ‘I definitely didn’t say yes to that’.”

She believes that men “get away” with sleeping with drunk people, and when asked if she ever felt ashamed or angry after her sexual encounters, she said: “Yes, that’s true, but it’s been that way for so long oppressed, we were I was taught for so long that that was a normal way to have sex – that you wake up after a party and say, ‘Ooh, Jesus Christ, I don’t actually remember that.’ And then you just carry on. We were taught that that was normal.”

“The problem is now,” Emily continued. “Now we’re all having more conversations, people are coming out and saying, ‘Oh yeah, I was raped then.’ And it’s very hard to have to admit it to you. But also the reason why it’s hard for the men too is that men get angry because they’re afraid, because so many men will listen to this stuff and say, ‘ I’ll do it. I’ve done that before.

“There’ll be men getting their kids’ uniforms ready for school and they’ll listen to something like that and stop and say, ‘Oh f**k, I’ve done that before.’ And they probably regret it and feel really terrible about it, but to now hear that that was wrong, and that that’s now actually considered rape, that’s hard for people to swallow because they know they got that in somewhere. their lives. A lot of people, a lot of people. That’s why it’s so hard to go there.”
