Amending the above: screwing a woman who is actually physically unconscious on the frat house floor WOULD be rape.
Favorite quote from PCU:
“What is this? You’re wearing the shirt of the band you’re going to see. Don’t be that guy.”
Same here. But if she agrees on that basis, she should not be allowed to later whine "I was coerced; I feel raped; he should go to prison because he threatened to break up with me".
it is coercion, no question, whether it is criminal coercion is another question
and, just because time passes doesn’t change the character of the act, if it was a crime when committed, it is still a crime though time passes
Also, the movie foisted the egregious Jeremy Piven on an unsuspecting humanity.
Well, current campus codes seem to imply that ANYTHING that could be construed as coercion turns it into "sexual misconduct".
Is it your viewpoint that, if a guy says he's going to stop seeing the woman unless she agrees to have sex, and she has sex with him in response, then (1) he is thus guilty of "sexual misconduct", and (2) should be subject to punishment on that basis?
Women also enjoy sex.
And boys need to be taught about courtship and tenderness and affection.

Agreed. He was evil.
In a nutshell. It's criminal that while most rational people recognize that boys mature later than girls, the responsibility to refrain from raping a girl with whom you have been drinking illicitly on campus and with whom you then return to your college-sponsored co-ed dorm, rests solely on the boy, according to feminists and college administrators. This ruins lives.
While I have sympathy for the actual victims of aggressive rape, it is a pity that young females can devastate the reputations of males after a "date gone wrong" due to having been "empowered" by feminist logic writ large in university culture. Earlier generations of women going off to college were warned by their fathers not to go to fraternity parties, get into cars or allow themselves to be found alone with males who had been drinking.
I didn’t see it like that. There was a weenie liberal faculty, a group of elitists and a group of “average” students trying to get along without getting caught up in the nonsense. It actually reflected closely what i experienced in college in the late 80’s, early 90’s. Lots of liberal weenies protesting the cause of the week, a few elitists turning up their noses, and a host of special interest groups fighting for the ever growing pot of student association fees. Blacks, mooslimbs, Africans, Caribbean, Asians, Hispanics, gays, trannies, Hindus, and even Norml were all vying for recognition and funding so they could build “social awareness” aka, have bitchin’ parties.
Really it’s “institutionalized”. Sounds like someone needs a dictionary.
institutionalize
verb
: to cause (a custom, practice, law, etc.) to become accepted and used by many people : to establish (something) as an institution

One of my favorite live performance of all time by the “Big O”!
You, at least, agree with me on said egregious Mr. Piven.
Given the way he/she/it construes "crime" and that any kind of non-agreement with the female is "coercion", you betcha.
Okay...
Just imagine if this slight substitution were made...
When Claudia and Timothy first met, their relationship was tumultuous. At first, Claudia didn't want to have "a commitment" with Timothy because she felt like "someone else may come along". He kept trying to convince her. He implied that if Claudia did not "marry" with him, he would break up with her. Claudia finally gave in and "married" Timothy. Several months later after speaking with some friends, she realized she had been coerced.
If an ultimatum, is issued, is that "coercion"? I though the saying was "#$@& or get off the pot".
Couples that move in together are as good as married. If a women has lived with 3 partners, it's hard to accept her "first marriage" as some kind of ground breaking ceremony.
It's all about power. The campus feminists feel that only women should have any coercive relationship power, and no guy should ever even think of making any sort of demand on any girl at any time, and the guy should be punished if he does.
