[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The attitude of "entitlement" is pervasive. It is not a "male only" problem, though in this context it clearly manifests that way.

People started to be told that they were "entitled" to various things. That they were owed by society, merely as a result of being alive. You can see this everywhere. From home ownership to being entitled to a 6 figure job.

Unfortunately, and sickeningly, this sense of entitlement has erupted into violence against others. Of course, it could simply be that information just flows more freely, but [b]34 years ago when I started college, rape and date rape occurred. But certainly not with the prevalence it is reported today and definitely without the seeming sense of impunity with which it is perpetrated[/b].

I hate to sound grandparent-like, but back in those days your frat brothers were far more likely to beat the shit out of you than celebrate you for this behavior. [/quote]

I don't have time to dig for it right now, but I believe there is evidence that suggests that BOTH the levels of reporting of rape have risen and ALSO the levels of incidence have fallen.

AKA feminism, it worked. Fewer men rape than they used to, and more women are empowered to report it. Still a long way to go, though.[/quote]
