At a certain private school, which shall go unnamed, there is pressure on the girls thusly: If you are invited to go to a school dance by a boy who attends the school you HAVE to say yes. A couple of others and I said, the hell. Where would you draw that line? If the jerk wants to kiss you, you have to? Because he goes to your school? Bullcrap. If he wants to paw you, etc. And here is how it is implemented, if a girl does turn a guy down for a dance, the girl is shunned for not doing it the (name of school) way. Not universally shunned, but by enough idiot students that don’t get it. Teachers (a coach) in the know has taken up for one particular shunee and encouraged the girls to support the shunee.

Lesson: all you who are supportive about getting your kids into non-public schools, there are still undercurrents of wrong you have to watch for. There is no haven. It is a tightrope anywhere you go.

They are still on this “college rape” theme?

How do we manage to let them get away with this?

How many of us have visited a campus in recent years? I have. When 14 of 15 students are female there is at least one problem. No doubt this draws Peres like flies to The Klown.

where on earth is there a school that has a rule that you “have to go to a dance if a boy asks you”

That right there is ridiculous enough to doubt the credibility of the rest of the story.

Having been a teenage boy I can guarantee there is NO PLACE where a girl in the USA would not laugh in the face of someone asking her to a dance and insisting she had to go with him because it was a rule.

I would have used that line if it worked

And college rapes being closer to 1 in 50? more likely 1 in 500 OR 1 in 5000. I doubt there are 2 rapes each year on every campus.

To clarify, it is something the students came up with and are enforcing, it is not a published rule of the administration.

Where would you draw that line?

In your scenario, wouldn't "going to the dance" be the place where the line would be drawn?

Well, one solution would be for the Ivys to go back to the way they were before the 1970s: there were virtually no reported rapes on campuses before that time...

If rape is such a danger on college campi, then why do liberals feel it is mandatory for every little skull full of mush to go there?

Why would I send a teenage child off to a place where it’s nearly guaranteed that she is going to get raped? And pay handsomely for the privilege to do so?

If rapists were pilloried in the town common, rapes would drop a lot.

Professional feminists are mostly dykes who think all heterosexual sex is rape.

“If you are invited to go to a school dance by a boy who attends the school you HAVE to say yes. “

I don’t believe that.
