These kids are growing up with the Bent One's legacy, and they are paying for it dearly.

[Betaille]

"13 percent of teenage girls, admit to being physically injured or hit and one in four report being pressured to perform oral sex or engage in intercourse"

Feminism is good for women... right...???

[beezdotcom]

The "Love is Not Abuse Curriculum,"

Now now, that may depend on what the definition of IS is...

[wagglebee]

Well according to what the left was saying seven years ago oral sex isn't actually sex.

[x1stcav]

Grew up withour a 'support system'?

How about growing up without common sense?

[hoosiermama]

IIRC didn't Dick Morrison in one of his book say that when WJC attacked him Hillary consoled him by saying "Bill always treats the people he loves this way!"

Well then its like long distance its the next best thing to being there

[SunnyD1182]

That's exactly the first thing I thought about when I read this article. "What would the feminists say?"

Oh, I know: they'll just call this the "sexual liberation" of women, and leave it at that. Feminists just don't get it: they're directly responsible for these sort of problems, and they're turning women into bigger and bigger slaves each day.

Ironic, considering they started out trying to FIGHT that very concept. They have dug their own graves.

. . . one in four report being pressured to perform oral sex or engage in intercourse . . .

Sorry, girls, but that's not abuse, it's just creep-like behavior. Every teenage girl needs to keep in mind that she is better off without a boy who would dump her for not putting out.

[demkicker]

We can all thank the women's lib movement for this crap. Sex anywhere, anytime, all the time.... 'whatever makes you feel good'. Don't worry if you get pregnant, just go 'take care of it' so it won't interfere with your 'fun'. Never mind the FACT that guys will use and abuse lose females, since they never use their brains.

It went downhill from there (women's lib movement), IMO. Unless a female acts like a lady and demands respect, she will get neither.

Doesn't say sexual activity was present. Just says that the teenage boys wanted something that the girl didn't want to give. And the boy "pressured" the girl by pursuing the topic.

This doesn't strike me as a new development.

NOTE: if sexual activity had been present, against the girl's will, this report would have said that one in four were raped. The report doesn't say that. So, what we have is one in four reporting that the boy said :Awwwwww, c'mon! Please????"

[sgtbono2002]

Dont they have parents? If my daughter had come home beat up I would be at that boys house and when I got thru whipping his daddys ass I would start on the kid.

[LibertarianInExile]

That is EXACTLY right.

Further, what we fail to consider is that if the liberal definition of 'pressuring' is applied, and that is considered abuse, fully 99% of American teenage males would be labelled abusers.

"He put his hand on my knee without stopping to ask my permission while we were kissing on my bed! ABUSE!"

[LibertarianInExile]

Well said bump (similar thoughts in my post above).

[madison10]

If they (the girls) wouldn't shack up with just any guy they met, the likelihood of abuse would drop off. Eighteen is WAY too young to be stuck in a "domestic" situation with a live-in.

Yeah, where ARE the parents? Are there parents at all?

[Zacs Mom]

According to a young teen I recently saw interviewed "Adults just don't get it...oral sex isn't sex, it is just the new way of kissing."

Her comment startled and stunned me and I wanted to believe she was making it up to sound outrageous, but then I read about the children's book "Rainbow Party" by Paul Ruditis and realized that this girl was merely a glimpse of what has truly become of moral values in the post-clinton era.

...and one in four report being pressured to perform oral sex or engage in intercourse, according to the survey by the private research group Teenage Research Unlimited.

Now there's some hardbiting news one could sink one's teeth in....as far as I know, being 54 years old....well, there's NOTHINGNEW here!

This is very sad CLINTON is to blame for this. Thats is legacy. And he's most likely proud as a peacock over it

I'll just stick the head in...

Get a clue, folks.

This so-called study is PC crap. Note the researchers, the institution, their data collection methods, and analysis methodologies are not mentioned. All quotes are from the sponsoring company (Liz Clairborne, Inc.) executive. They conflate physical violence with normal sexual behavior, thereby stigmatizing men for behaving naturally.

A quick google search turned up the following: Liz Claiborne and Susan Sarandon Discourage Keeping Quiet ... way our culture views abuse," says Jane Randel, director of Women's Work at Liz Claiborne Inc. ...

'Nuf said.
