I really hope they don't have sons. |
She wrote it in the article. She went out with her sister to a party and did shots, forgetting that her tolerance was lower than it used to be when she was in college and drinking regularly. |
Good, I feel a little safer in the world knowing that fact. |
why? you don't think talking about the issues drinking too much is something we should do with our kids? |
Forgetting to confirm with her sister that they would leave together, forgetting that she had previously had blackouts while drinking, forgetting the entire evening. |
Did you take the time to read the previous posts?? It's all about safety for men AND women. Very possibly he wouldn't have raped a woman and basically ruined his life if he'd been sober. |
exactly - I'm not blaming the victim here and I'm not apologizing for the perpetrator. I'm saying we should counsel our kids about DRINKING. BAD SHIT can happen while drinking. Not just rape. |
If I stand naked in the street at 2:00 am it doesn't give anyone the right to rape me. |
you're right it doesn't. but would you advise your daughter to do so? |
If a guy comes up to you at 2am, while you're both drunk, and asks you to go have sex with him, and you go with him, is that rape? |
If, along the way, you fall over and pass out, and instead of helping you up, he drags you behind a dumpster and has sex with you, yes. |
+1 I am a mother of a daughter and son. I tell both my kids this -- bad things can happen, to both men and women when they get that drunk. People should know by now that when you get drunk, you can end up committing dumb, sometimes, illegal, violent acts. That guy should've been jailed, no question. If he was a minority, no question he'd have gotten harsher jail time, and the dad... holy cow... I wonder if the parents raised him like the affluenza kid, constantly getting him out of trouble, etc... I think about the cases in MCPS where the parents are hosting drinking parties. The entitlement attitude of these parents and their offsprings is astounding. |
| No man gets drunk and just whoopsie doops accidentally rapes a girl behind a dumpster. RAPISTS rape women and they would do it without a drop of alcohol. He has most certainly done this before and would have done it again. |
If the male and female were both minorities, this would get little attention. It's mostly about a reallocation of power from white men to white women, whereby white women are held unaccountable for wanton behavior and white men get criminal records. In a prior, more sensible era, both the boy and the girl would be embarrassed by their behavior. The girl wouldn't want to be slut-shamed and the boy wouldn't want to be seen as a cad. Now the femi-Nazis look to shame white men whenever they get a chance. They are ahead of black men in society, so they don't pay as much attention to black-on-black crime. |
No the last post is 100% correct. Np here. |
