How come we haven't expected and taught our sons to keep their penis in their pants?

"We"? Nice generalization. My husband and I have taught our sons about respecting women. Don't lump all boys and men into one category.

This is all a cynical game of semantics. The term "rape" can be refined to suit anyone's agenda.

I don't think the statistic is nearly anything close to one in five.

I don't believe it.

Thank you. As a mom of 2 girls, I am also teaching my DDs to respect themselves and reject boys who don't respect them.

If you truly believe that one in five woman will be raped in college, then why on Earth do you sent them to college to be raped? You don't want them to be raped, do you?

Of course, you will send them anyway, because you know, deep down, that this is a bit of a bullshit stat and that actual rape -- as in being forcibly raped, or raped while unconscious, or passed out drunk, is less common.

Actually 1/3 women are raped, only 1/5 in college.

The problem is that many of these incidents involving penetrations haven't been found to constitute rape. Rape is a criminal offense. Sex is not. Unless a sex has been adjudicated to constitute rape, equating after-the-fact assertions of regrettable sex with rape in a culture that celebrates and rewards status as a victim is an exercise calculated to do little other than expand the victim class for political ends. That's why you have clowns like Joe Biden involved.

"Actual" rape? Charming. What's it like living in the 1950s?

Why are you keeping the lies going? This whole rape stuff is all made up by people like you. The problem is with you.

It's 2014, where a man can have sex with a woman, who does not object in anyway, and be branded a "rapist" because he "failed to obtain her enthusiastic consent."

And even if he does obtain her enthusiastic consent, he can STILL be branded a rapist if the woman chooses to brand him that way.

Source, please?

I'm a strong feminist. But I think exaggerating the problem can backfire and hurt the very women we're trying to protect.
