I always think that giving consent is an active process. So, if a complaint is:
so wasted apparently that she couldn't be assumed capable of finding her way home
then she also could not have been capable of giving consent.

Just to skip back a few pages...
He's not even PJ O'Rourke.
My favourite PJ O'Rourke quote - actually the title of a chapter in one of his books:
How to Drive Fast on Drugs While Getting Your Wingwang Pulled and Not Spill Your Drink

Nice analysis, Keith.
Craig, you're going to have to fight me off first for that dinner with Viggo.

That "stirrer" in your garden shed sounded suspiciously like an egg-beater in your kitchen, David.

Then there was another one of my daughters, who couldn't quite manage to pronounce "s" properly when it came in front of "u".
"I'm just sucking my thumb," she would say, loudly, in public. (Say it out loud to yourself to get the full effect, 'tho not if you are at work.)

I have a pretty foul mouth too, at times. I did lay off it a little some years ago when I came into the family room and found my then two year old daughter hammering away on her wooden peg toy, and saying, "Damn. Bug. Bug. Damn."
Fine coming out of my mouth, but somehow just wrong coming out of a two year old's mouth.
All the same, I believe the phrase that I shouted at my brother when he really, really pissed me off (on Christmas Day, of course), was "Fcuk up, [brother's name]." In the hearing of my mother, my father, my husband, my daughters, my nephew and niece, my sister-in-law, and probably most of the rather nice neighbourhood my parents live in. Oh well.
Context is what makes the difference. This is rather nice: Reclamation: thoughts from a fat hairy uppity angry gimp bitch.

plastering their defiantly un PC politics across their heaving bosoms for public delectation. so naughty and sooo brave.
Yes. If they have a bosom. Context makes a difference tho' and I think the gender of the wearer may make a difference to "Get a fuck bitch."
-
a young man wearing a shirt saying 'GET A FUCK BITCH'.
(Or is that a pop-cultural reference that I'm missing because I'm old?)
No. That's just plain offensive.

Daleway - yes YES YES!
Especially this:
have the sanitary towel disposal unit behind the loo or as a built-in fitting
I am so over banging my knees on the wretched things while I take a pee.

Oh, give it a fucking rest Russell. If there was anything 'fine' about the Sunday News patting June Hilary on the head for appropriate 'staunchness', I can't see it. I guess you say 'fine things', I say 'vacuous cant', you say 'tomato', I say 'toe-may-toe'. Let's call the whole thing off.
Oh well. Seeing as Craig is linking to his post about cant, when he first made the point, it made me think about why we ought to remark the passing of Sir Edmund Hillary. It's very much apropos Craig's comment above: Sir Edmund Hillary and Aristotle.
