Better question: is there a connection between the arrival of millions of savages and rape?

Real simple, ladies: DON’T get falling-down drunk around any man you do not intend (while sober) to sleep with.

Better yet, don’t EVER get so drunk that your ability to exercise good judgement is impaired.

A crack down on underage drinking on college campuses would probably never happen, since it has been going on forever, but that would be one part of a solution.

You’re speaking a defunct language that is little used in today’s world. It’s called “Wisdom”. It’s simplistic, common sense and to the point premises are like so much gibberish to most women today. If they don’t wake up from a night of drunken partying with a contract signed by both them and their date, then they’ve been raped, whether they remember it or not.

It’s a gone society. It’s hard to watch.

Doesn’t say incidents of rape increase, says reports of rape increase. Big difference, as students at Duke and UVa can tell you.

“A crack down on underage drinking on college campuses would probably never happen, since it has been going on forever, but that would be one part of a solution.”

As you say, underage drinking on college campuses has been going on forever. What is relatively new, however, is the ubiquity of binge drinking by both male and female students. Yes, students got drunk when I was in college many years ago, but the “weekend” started on Friday night or, at the earliest on Thursday night. Now, the only night of the week that is slow at the bar scene adjacent to campus is Monday when some of them close for clean-up and maintenance.
