Yet again, I am not disputing the fact t that false allegations of rape happen.

The author of the original post here, blames women being raped on their lack of modesty. That is a bunch of crap. Nobody I know has ever raped a woman.

Rapists are criminals. The notion that the way a woman dresses or talks or her being drunk in any way contributes to her being raped is moronic.

This notion is akin to a liberal justifying a poor person robbing because they are poor.

There are different kinds of “rape” these days.

There is the “knife to the throat” kind, what we used to think of as “real” rape.

Then there’s the “I would not have said yes if sober” kind that seems to come up a lot on campus.

Perhaps these women should spend less time drunk, and take responsibility for bad decisions while drunk.

You’re missing the point.

It’s not false accusations of rape that are the issue, but a false definition of rape foisted on the world, and especially on academe, by feminism. Call what you and I would call rape, rape 1.0, and what the feminists use as the basis of their statistic that a quarter of college women will be raped, rape 2.0.

All your objections are quite valid as regards rape 1.0: you’ve never done it, I’ve never done it, neither of us knows anyone who has, it is not actually occasioned by women dressing provocatively or getting drunk, . . .

Now, realize that rape 2.0 includes a drunken young man and a drunken young woman having sex, even with the young woman expressing enthusiastic consent in the moment, at least of the woman later regrets the encounter (think Lena Dunham’s account of her “rape” which doesn’t meet the definition of the Ohio statute and contains elements that in a court of law would suffice to prove consent), and reread the article.
