More college men are fighting back against sexual misconduct cases
Los Angeles Times ^ | June 7, 2014 | By Teresa Watanabe

Posted on 06/09/2014 7:32:35 AM PDT by ConservativeStatement

Peter Yu, Drew Sterrett and Lewis McLeod were headed toward bright futures at prestigious colleges and universities when each got involved in one-night sexual encounters..

All three young men claimed the encounters were consensual — but the women asserted otherwise. In each case, campus officials found the men responsible for sexual assault and expelled or suspended them.

Sex for women is rarely for only physical gratification ( hardly your 10-20 percent figure which I have a feeling you just made up) Even when not for love there are ulterior motives ( to climb the corporate ladder, to punish an ex-boyfriend, to get pregnant, to be popular, for revenge etc.) It may be inconvenient but its truth.

Honestly ? Absolutely nothing wrong with it, at least by the feminists’ own doctrine.

Oh, I forgot, only women are free to exercise their sexuality as they wish. Men, after all, have a penis, and are therefore automatically wrong. ..

Does the female have no culpability in this?

yup…perhaps an overdramatic hollywood example, but closer to reality than many young college age men are aware.

I know a kid who was accused of raping a woman he had never even had sex with.

She was promiscuous, got pregnant, couldn’t admit to her dad that she was sleeping around, so she said she was raped. Then they said “well, who raped you”, and she didn’t want to implicate the guy who had actually impregnated her because she liked him still, so she randomly accused this other kid who happened to be at the same party that day. He was arrested and questioned, and being completely innocent was released and never charged, but it showed me that a rape accusation is often not what it appears.

That's true. I know of a lady who threw her husband's cat into a hot car in the middle of summer and left it in there to roast. She killed an animal out of sheer revenge over a minor slight. There be psychos out there...

So now, even wearing beer goggles won’t be good enough to get you laid.

I've advised my son to be wary of American women. Yes, there are many great ones out there, but the odds are still not ideal. and you can't often tell until it's too late. Even the "good" church going types have been a huge disappointment on the morality front. Nothing surprises me anymore.

I even set up an account for him to travel through Europe for a year after graduation. I pray he finds a nice girl on his travels..

Well, I do meet many attractive women from all backgrounds and 10-20% has been about right for women under 35. These girls go to bars or “hookup” sites and sleep with guys that they know nothing about (except for how they look and how well they use their penis). Sometimes even with multiple men, women and/or couples at the same time.

Most eventually want to settle down but want plenty of dirty action until then. They simply LOVE the physical feeling of sex. Often times, it continues even when they get married. You can find plenty of these married women looking for nameless, purely physical encounters online.

Swinging, man-whores, “pool boys” and sugar mamas are also getting exponentially more popular with huge websites catering to that crowd.

“Does the female have no culpability in this?”

That’s the ironic thing. It is absolutely anti-feminist despite being a complete feminist created state of affairs.

He is where my liberal slant on social stuff shows. I don't care what people do as long as ALL parties are aware of it. I don't care if they like to get their jollies doing this stuff. But I think it is disgusting when they hide it from their spouses. Open marriage, fine. As long as everyone knows.

My good friend's wife? She told guys all over our community that she was separated and getting a divorce (so they thought there was a green light). My friend was surprised when he was asked about the separation/divorce. It was news to him.

Ahh but you are not a woman. As a woman I guarantee that all these girls hooking up with many random men are doing so for reasons beyond having an orgasm. They just are good at keeping it hidden and lying about their true motives. Have you ever seen when Harry met Sally?

Many of the men in the history of our country that we look up to and respect have most likely had sexual relationships outside marriage that did not lead to marriage.

I don’t see the mindset of some people that the accused men are to blame for this because they couldn’t keep it in their pants.

To these people, if someone is driving their car through a bad part of town and they get set upon by a mob and they are injured or killed, it is THEIR fault for not knowing that was a bad part of town.

Having the bad judgment to have sex with someone you might not know well does not equate to deliberately lying and ruining someone’s life via the resulting legal proceedings.

Acting like animals is no longer a male-only thing. *Some* of these young coeds would make anyone blush, they are so aggressively sexual. But they CAN charge “rape,” and get away with it if it suits them.

Your friend might not have had his life ruined if he didn’t get drunk and have sex with her and then shunned her the next day. I’m not saying it’s fair but any guy who has intimate relations with a girl and then shuns her when he sobers up is a loser.

Are you willing to apply that equally against women who do similar things?

Should a man have the ability to ruin a woman's life if he feels she has humiliated him?

I checked this guy Fred's website. Some interesting articles.

While Fred is well versed in a great many things, he's a loon. Just as he says he is. Fred thinks Bowe Bergdahl is some sort of hero for seeming to have the courage to walk away from his assigned duties and go collaborate with the Taliban.

Kind of reminds me of these old lyrics by Steppenwolf:

You, comin' here, tellin' me how proud you are
Some clown just handed you a shiny little silver star
You say, "Over there, the men are brave"

While the chickens stay away
'Cause they're all too much afraid
To fight for somethin' they should believe in
I'm sorry friend, you've got it backwards

She's looking for Prince Charming, the handsome, wealthy, witty, charming perfect guy, who will be so infatuated with them once he sleeps with them that he will commit to her.

But he won't. He has too many options. He WILL, though, spend a night with her when he doesn't have any better options for that night.

The reason she haunts the night spots is that none of the men who WOULD have an interest in committing to her, is good enough for her. Eventually, she gets old enough that Prince Charming doesn't have any interest in her, even as a one night stand, and she has to go "settle".

“Should not the punishment fit the crime?”

There should be no punishment if any kind unless and until a judicial proceeding has taken place, with the rights of the accused preserved.
