The Jake and Josie Poster.

Jake & Josie is the name given to a poster produced by the Campus Assault Resource Education Support Coalition at the Coastal Carolina University and put up around the campus in 2008.

The poster depicts a man and a woman both getting drunk. The poster then indicates that the man was charged with rape the following day. The implication is that the woman lost her agency when she became intoxicated but the man did not. This is consistent with modern feminist ideology.

If men and women have legal equality then the standard for consent should be the same for both. Either both can still consent, or both have lost the capacity to consent. If both have lost the capacity to consent then it's possible that they raped each other.

In Common Law individuals that willingly become inebriated are still responsible for their actions although courts have routinely exempted women from this provision in recent years.

Feminist argue that women are equal to men and then discount female agency when the man and the woman are both drunk.

If women really do mature faster then men, as some suggest, then perhaps it was Jake that was raped?
