At a certain private school, which shall go unnamed, there is pressure on the girls thusly: If you are invited to go to a school dance by a boy who attends the school you HAVE to say yes. A couple of others and I said, the hell. Where would you draw that line? If the jerk wants to kiss you, you have to? Because he goes to your school? Bullcrap. If he wants to paw you, etc. And here is how it is implemented, if a girl does turn a guy down for a dance, the girl is shunned for not doing it the (name of school) way. Not universally shunned, but by enough idiot students that don’t get it. Teachers (a coach) in the know has taken up for one particular shunee and encouraged the girls to support the shunee.
Lesson: all you who are supportive about getting your kids into non-public schools, there are still undercurrents of wrong you have to watch for. There is no haven. It is a tightrope anywhere you go.
where on earth is there a school that has a rule that you “have to go to a dance if a boy asks you”
That right there is ridiculous enough to doubt the credibility of the rest of the story.
Having been a teenage boy I can guarantee there is NO PLACE where a girl in the USA would not laugh in the face of someone asking her to a dance and insisting she had to go with him because it was a rule.
I would have used that line if it worked
And college rapes being closer to 1 in 50? more likely 1 in 500 OR 1 in 5000. I doubt there are 2 rapes each year on every campus.
In your scenario, wouldn't "going to the dance" be the place where the line would be drawn?
“If you are invited to go to a school dance by a boy who attends the school you HAVE to say yes. “

I don’t believe that.
