[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's really scaring me here is that the people blaming women might have sons.  A-holes like the dad in this story aren't teaching men not to f'in rape people!  It shouldn't matter if I'm sober or intoxicated, if the people I'm around are taught to respect others, it won't matter.

Did you see this?  Terrifying:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2016/06/03/more-than-half-of-college-athletes-surveyed-at-one-university-admit-coercing-a-partner-into-sex/[/quote]

I wanted to highlight this earlier post, because this study is frightening. And timely given the news about this case. This article goes into a bit more depth, including numbers for specfic questions: http://www.medicaldaily.com/college-athletes-sexual-assault-rape-myths-388585

Some highlights:
A startling 54 percent of the student-athletes admitted to committing at least one “sexually coercive” act in their lifetimes, such as making their partner have sex without a condom or using physical force or threats to commit rape. Nonathletes fared better, but 38 percent still admitted the same. Athletes were also more likely to endorse negative attitudes toward women and believe common myths about rape than their nonathletic counterparts.

Myths the researchers asked about during the survey included the belief that women often allege rape to get back at men; that rape isn’t legitimate if a woman doesn’t physically struggle to prevent it; and that survivors who were intoxicated at the time are partly responsible for their sexual assault.
