Really it's "institutionalized". Sounds like someone needs a dictionary.
Besides, the gist of this article is "I don't have a magic wand, but if anyone out there does, take care of this, will ya!"
Women make a lot of bad choices today, and they are eager to do so because it tells them that they are "in control". And with easy abortion, there are "no consequences".
The flip side is that men really need a civilizing influence in their lives, and if such an influence is lacking, men will behave like pigs. For centuries, men have improved their behavior because good behavior mattered to women. Today, the bad boys rule, there is no benefit to being civilized, and so male behavior rarely rises out of the gutter.
If there is one thing I'd "fix" with a magic wand, it would be Feminism.
Is there really a “rape culture” or is this just another attack on men?
“This is because many of the tools of the hook-up culture are seen as symbols of women’s liberation and equality.”
Until he doesn’t call her the next day. Then some of them will spread the notion around that they were a victim of some jerk so she can preserve her womanly virtues.
Feminists get Victorian real quick when they dont want to look cheap.
why do I see it the opposite? That “hooking up” hurts women? Because the dude is just into it for the moment and the girl is hoping to find love?
Girls “dominste” by acting slutty? That makes no sense.
that’s a scene from a movie named PCU..
Jock: [at a party] What’s up, babes?
Womynist #1: Pack up your rape culture and take a hike!
Jock: [holds up a beer] You want a brew dog?
Womynist #1: We’re not interested in your penis!
Womynist #2: Wait, wait, I think he’s offering us a beer.
I still blame Dr. Kinsey for all this crap.
Bump, he helped start it
The hookup culture has evolved due to lower and lower standards and increased demand for instant gratification, in multiple levels.
One could eliminate the latter, and the former would still be a problem.
A clue is in " Other alumnae of Harvard have candidly told this author that women on campus, even if not physically threatened, often feel pressure to not disappoint or reject individual expectant men"
In one university's "Sexual Misconduct" page, we have:
Example 2:So if a woman has sex with you because she's afraid you will move on if she doesn't, then you are guilty of "sexual misconduct".When Claudia and Timothy first met, their relationship was tumultuous. At first, Claudia didn't want to have sex with Timothy because she felt like too many people would find out. He kept trying to convince her. He implied that if Claudia did not sleep with him, he would break up with her. Claudia finally gave in and had sex with Timothy. Several months later after speaking with some friends, she realized she had been coerced.
Claudia did not consent to Timothy of her own free will. Whenever a threat is used to make someone consent, it is an invalid consent because it is forced. Consent should be given when the parties want to have sex with each other. Claudia consented not because she wanted to have sex with Timothy but because she feared that he would break up with her. This is another example of a Sexual Misconduct policy violation.
Feminists will not be satisfied until women can ruin a man on a whim.
That movie was pretty funny. It came out when I was in college and I saw the culture being portrayed in the movie up close and personal.
It seems to me that in the “hook-up culture” that both parties participate, and that they equally “used” by the other. Unless there is force or coercion, the sex is consensual. I am not saying that I approve, only that it is not rape just because males may feel entitled to it, as long as the female actively participates.
Geez, I had no idea that kind of thinking is out there.
Girls (and boys) are pressured into sex by the media and their own schools these days, how awful it must be when the authorities in your life support the stupid side
Girls have to learn to say “no” if they don’t want to have sex. They seem to want the benefits of free sex but not the responsibilities.. Not unlike many others in this entitlement society.
benefits of free sex? Don’t make me laugh, what are the benefits of free sex if you are a girl
If some little d8ck ever said such to my daughter, “screw me babe or I will break up with you” I want her to say hasta la vista sucka
Or not even "threat of violence", but just "threat of breaking up" (see post #11).
And even one drink can be construed as "incapacitating" the women, if she declares she "feels" she would not have made the same decision while sober. If a man gets drunk, then drives, and causes an accident, then he is held fully responsible for his actions, because he decided to drink. Women should be held to the same standards: either don't get so drunk that your judgement is impaired or accept the decisions you make while drunk (cases where somebody slips a drug into your drink don't count in the above).
As far as "coerced" consent: threatening to break up is not "coercion". Threatening physical harm IS coercion. We need to go back to that standard. Somebody threatening me with a knife to hand over money is robbery; my wife saying she will be unhappy if I don't let her buy "xxx" is NOT robbery.
