[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am stunned we have all these rapes on college campuses by STUDENTS. Who are these boys? [b]Are they my son's friends? Are they normal kids[/b] or are they mentally ill? [b]Do regular, well adjusted boys rape people? [/b]If so, what happened to our society? Why do so many [b]boy college students apparently think it's ok to assault their classmates[/b]?

Talk to your sons! Make sure you haven't raised an animal who has no respect for women.
Honestly, this whole epidemic makes me sick. [b]Does our ultra-sexual culture and misogynist images create a "rape culture?"[/b]
Can anyone shed light on what's happening?[/quote]

Yes. [/quote]

When I was in college I was sexually assaulted by a nice, normal, well-adjusted boy. He (and every other boy I hung out with those days) was so thoroughly indoctrinated in rape culture that he didn't pay attention to the fact that I was too drunk to consent or verbalize to him that I didn't want any sexual contact. Had he actually asked me "is this okay?" or cared about the fact that I was borderline unconscious, he would have gotten the clue. Instead, we both had to deal with the implications of that night for close to a year. It was awful. [/quote]

What culture do you have to be indoctrinated in to think you can get wasted and not make bad decisions or be taken advantage of?

Both boys and girls need to be educated on responsible behavior.  [/quote]

I'm the PP you're trying to bash, I assume. Unfortunately for you, there is no "get drunk and make bad decisions" culture. In hindsight I obviously recognized that I should not have been so drunk that night, but there is NO excuse for what happened to me. I should have been able to drink and have a fun night with my friends without worrying about someone taking advantage of me while I was in that state. [/quote]

Drink?  Yes.  Get so drunk that you couldn't articulate your desires?  Bad judgment.   Not recognize that the judgment of others might be impaired as well and then play the victim card years later?  Yuck.

Both boys and girls need to be educated on responsible - and irresponsible - behavior.  [/quote]
