Go take a survey of 1,000 women and see how many of them belive in global warming and voted for Barack 0bama, too. There are real cases of date rape, but there are also real cases of drunk women who convince themselves that they didn’t really mean it and therefore they were raped. Then we get situations where the drunk woman can’t be expected to consent to sex, but the equally drunk man must be expected to be responsible for both of them. As the editorial writer noted, this contradiction infantalizes women. Men can control themselves when drunk; according to the date rape doctrine, women can not control themselves when drunk.
Frat party/date rape is becoming a meme. The more I hear of it, the less inclined I am to accept the complainer’s version of the truth. It often involves large amounts of alcohol and pot. It never seems to involve sound judgement.
The biggest part of the problem is the situation in which people put themselves. If someone goes to the biggest bachannal on campus, it should not be a surprise when that person can’t find their clothing the next morning.
True rape should be punished harshly; castration would be fine with me.
There are many cases where woman are raped by someone they know. Maybe while on a date with someone. That is a criminal act by the rapist and as I said; I would want to shoot him if it was my daughter involved.
They are forced to have sex against their will; and many of them don't want to report it.
There are also cases where a woman agrees or maybe initiates things; and then afterwards say they didn't want to do it. That is of course a totally different situation.
Parents need to raise their kids with values; and talk about these kind of things.
They are realities; and bad things happen way to often.
