[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if sexual assaults on campus are more frequent and more acceptable given that many more kids are sexually active and more promiscuous at a much earlier age given the changing times and attitudes towards sex.

Back in my day, you didn't have sex in HS until junior or senior year and only with a long term BF...otherwise you were labeled a slut. And parents weren't cool with putting their teens or Tweens on BC, so girls were careful not to do anything that could result in pregnancy.

Now I'm hearing about girls giving handjobs and BJs at MS parties!!! And there's usually photographic or video evidence of it circulated around school. [/quote]

Just out of curiosity, how old are you? I'm in my 50s, and kids were sexually active and quite casual about it when I was a teenager. I remember girls talking about their sexual needs and feelings in what was a newly healthy way at the time. Of course, there were always those who acted out because of low self-esteem, and there always were and will be guys who would push any agenda to get sex. It did feel like we were making progress as girls and women, though. There were lots of sex manuals about pleasing both partners. Now there's just a massive amount of porn where guys use women like willing rag dolls. Porn is made for men to jack off to.

I've noticed over the years that girls are going backwards in how they accept porn behavior as norm, go along in their own objectification, and perform services for guys without valuing themselves or realizing that sex is supposed to be mutually pleasurable.

Porn is everywhere, and is doing a good job of teaching boys that it's normal to objectify women, and that women exist sexually to please them. That's what porn is made for. And when you objectify people, you can rationalize using them for whatever purpose you want.

I knew plenty of girls who were raped when I was in college. Typical scenario: be at a frat party, or at a guys' group house. Have too much to drink. Get raped. Rarely did anyone report it. The guys were usually drinking too. The most predatory ones didn't drink much, since this is how they got sex regularly. This is what certain males do. It's the nature of the beast, and how we set up our society is how we control it. It's an ongoing battle to empower women in every way, and instill attitudes in both sexes that limit objectification of anyone.

Colleges have always protected their young white men who commit crimes. [/quote]
