It is only a couple of weeks into the new year but it looks like we already have a strong contender for the dopiest article of the year, emphasis on "dope" as we shall see.
A bizarre solution to reducing campus rapes comes to us by way of Annie Lowery of New York magazine. Her solution is to raise taxes on beer while also encouraging people to smoke more marijuana. After acknowledging that the Rolling Stone story about a drunken fraternity rape case was just a fairy tale, Lowery takes a deep plunge into the world of utterly stupid:

Because God knows the last thing I wanted when I was high was sex.
LOL
Far out, Man..
That’s not a solution
More dope is just going to lead to fights over who gets the remaining 1/2 bag of Doritos.
This advise is much better than women peeing in their pants to prevent rape. /s
LOL that’s about it.
...why don’t they just make rape illegal?
Writer’s name is Daffy Duck.
I think this has more to do with Liberal's two favorite things in life - raising taxes on others, and staying stoned - than anything.
Liberals never cease to amaze me, they are so intellectually dense that it's staggering.
“Candy is quick, but Liquor is quicker.”
ROFL No wonder this phony “journ-o-list” is so effed up
And such a experienced genius at the old age of 30

Well that certainly helps explain things.
At least alcohol takes away the ability.
I don’t believe that pot does. (In fact I’ve heard that pot can make one amorous)
Dave’s not here.
LOL
Beat me to it! I was thinking the same thing when I read this. Peace, Love, Dope! ;-)
In college, I smoked some pot right before a bunch of friends and I got into a fight.
I didn’t have their backs and to this day feel bad about it, but- as I told them after the fight- “I was stoned!”
It’s hard to do anything when you’re stoned, and while I don’t have any supporting examples, I imagine it’s hard to have forcible sex too.
Who knows?! Maybe this red diaper is on to something.
No matter how many times... that still makes me LOL!
but liqueur is quicker.
