So under this policy, if two college kids get drunk and scr**, and one of them weighs 180 lbs while the other is 140, the “more powerful” one can now be a rapist by dint of the “power.” Even though they were both stinking drunk and, at the time, consenting.
Cloud cuckoo-land.
But even NOW defended Bill Clinton's sexual exploitation of a young college co-ed working at the White House.
Parents! Are you really sure you want to pay through the nose for that college diploma?
I was on the Duke Campus Saturday. Prominent all over are Daglo green emergency call boxes. The folks at Duke are very much afraid of something or somebody.
The irony of all the call boxes is that they are good for reporting a rape, but do nothing to stop it.
Duke with call boxes is like Obama with hugs and kisses to the enemies. Neither accomplish the purpose. Both probab bly are top attract money
I have a feeling that it will only be male, heterosexual students, who will be at any risk. If I were a young guy on that campus, I would stay celebrate while there. Don't mess with any of the co-eds under any circumstances. Save it for when you go home on vacation and look up the old high school sweethearts.
The funny thing is that they cite the higher IQ of Duke male students as enabling them to be better sexual predators without considering that the women should also have higher IQ themselves and thus be better able to deal with them. They are so intent upon depicting women as victims that they literally insult their intelligence.
I looked for John Semmens name after the first sentence. But damn, abb...it's not satire. It's true! Pick my jaw up off of the floor.
Sooooo.....Joe BigManOnCampus takes Little Miss Nobody for a beer or 2. They both have a buzz, but are not shit-faced. They have sex. Little Miss Nobody asks “Will you call me?” Joe BigManOnCampus promises he will call her in the morning. She watches her phone. He does not call. She sees him with Buffy Homecoming Queen and is crushed.
Joe BigmanOnCampus is guilty of sexual misconduct (rape) because Little Miss Nobody would have never slept with him if he was Joe Schmo.
What is going on down there? This policy operates under the assumption that woman can not be held responsible for any decision they make. As a woman I am outraged.
They might as well tell the freshmen to leave their penises at home. Ouch...
“Why don’t we not get drunk and screw?”

The actual problem is not Duke's latest attempt to - well, I'm not sure what they're attempting to do. The problem is that college students, or a lot of them, seem to think that the purpose of attending an institution of higher learning is to get drunk and screw. Party time. A dissolute life of irresponsible hedonism is not only a poor atmosphere for learning skills and wisdom (are either taught at universities?), but a very poor foundation for adult life.
Throughout history most people were considered adults by late teens, or at least by 20 or so; this prolonged adolescence of "party time" throughout the 20s leads to messed up people and ridiculous problems such as illustrated by whatever Duke is trying to do.
Marriages work out better when both husband and wife haven't had a dozen (or more) sex partners already, with possible attendant diseases and unwanted pregnancies.
An argument might be made: "You can't expect young people not to have sex". My answer: "Can you expect anyone not to have sex? Are we animals that have no self control, discrimination or wisdom? Aren't married couples expected to control their impulses too?"
Another point is that it isn't really natural or historical for marriage to be put off until the late 20s or even later. Why wait? If young people were not encouraged or expected to act like Beavis and Butthead until 25, they might be responsible enough to marry a lot younger.
If I had a child that was thinking of going to a University, I would have them think twice before going to Duke.Facing criminal charges simply because of one’s social standing is anti-American.
Time for everyone to just stop going to Duke.
They are putting their lives and their futures in harm’s way. They’re just about selling their soul to the devil by agreeing to put themselves under such a restrictive and misguided and perverted policy.
There is nothing that school has to offer that would even begin to compensate for the risk they are taking attending there.
Anyone who even applies there, much less attends, there is a total IDIOT.
(Syracuse University has a GREAT LAX team if someone is that interested in it.)
In light of the promotion of sex to the teen culture through the handing out of condoms and the legalization of abortion and the demands for unlimited abortions, this whole policy is ludicrous.
The entire liberal culture is encouraging the very behavior it is condemning and penalizing.
Their heads would explode if Randy “Macho Man” Savage visited the campus, doing nothing but walking by.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
The purpose of Liberalism is to destroy society. They promote sex endlessly and then criminalize it.
God has Ten Commandments the following of which make for a happy life. Liberalism seeks to destroy the bonds of humanity through whip-saw policies that are at obvious odds.
Does Liberalism make women better or worse off?
You have to hand it to those selfless commies, working so hard to make everyone equal.
