Let's see...

The author - above - probably prefers "it/them."?

It/them was hitting on them. Them told it/them not to take advantage of them.

This has the ring of a conversation between two people with multiple personality disorders.

I am so glad I am not in college.

[NorthMountain]

What is this thing, I wonder

Ten to one says it's a biological XX female pretending to be male.

[ClearCase_guy]

Well, you could hold off until after the big ceremony at the Church. I think that sexual union after that event would probably be considered mutually consensual.

Or you can “hook-up” with lesbians who have been drinking and take your chances.

Ladies, here are the Cliff Notes version of dealing with young men:

1. Young men think about sex - a lot.
2. If a woman gets drunk and flirts with a young man, he will think about sex even more.

Side note: This is why bars have ‘ladies night’ and ‘happy hour’. It seems that long ago, men discovered that liquor loosens women.

Conclusion (as a father of a young daughter), I recommend young women should not go to a bar alone (without other girlfriends) and generally should not drink heavily around men.

Call me a caveman...but frankly a lot of young men act like cavemen.

Um... No. No it isn’t. Not unless you redefine “rape” to be even the unwanted presence of Male humans on the same planet as you...

Lunatic Left is way over due for a serious wake up call.

I’m not going to assume that the writer is biologically a man.

Campus “anti rape culture” is designed to allow neurotic women to be as crazy as they want to be.

[Boogieman]

Well, married women can make rape allegations against their husbands as well.

[liberalh8ter]

Rape culture? You mean the culture of encouraging women to scream rape when the guy doesn't call them again?

[Chode]

.....

[Chode]

since it's called they, maybe one of them gave consent and the other balked?

[Boogieman]

Nah, the picture in that article is the author's mother. This is the author:

[WayneS]

One of my friends, “Debra”, was there, who uses they/them pronouns and identifies as a lesbian.

I also use they/them pronouns (when grammatically appropriate). Does that mean I am a lesbian ?!?

[Boogieman]

“I think that sexual union after that event would probably be considered mutually consensual.”

Don’t be so sure about that. You’ll get arrested just as fast if your wife cries “rape” as if any other woman does.

[BykrBayb]

especially when we have an accused rapist becoming the president of the United States.

This is a very old article!

[Boogieman]

“Does that mean I am a lesbian ?!?”

There’s only one way to find out!

[BykrBayb]

We’re schizophrenic, and so are we.

[trisham]

Holy cow.

[Mr. Douglas]

Well, married women can make rape allegations against their husbands as well.

Yeah, They can. It doesn’t mean it’s biblical.

[WayneS]

Well, I do like women - a lot.

[ClearCase_guy]

I acknowledge the truth of what you say.

Will you acknowledge that the point of the posted article concerns college students hooking up after drinking and having tremendous confusion about what they want and what the other person wants?

While your point that a husband CAN be charged with raping his wife is true, still I think that the general admonition that waiting until after marriage to have sex would make SOME contribution to solving the problems raised by the article.
