[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The reason is because all this hand wringing over rape and how young men don't respect women is focused on a supposed epidemic of rape on campuses.[/b] Which is not true.

I mean look at the title of this thread - teach your sons how to respect women.

What about working together towards a gender equity society?

You are correct that in real life, women are at more risk of rape off campus than on campus. But the whole hysteria now surrounds campuses and "young men".[/quote]

The problem is rape. On-campus, off-campus, wherever. Rape is a problem. When we talk about rape, we should talk about rape. If you want to talk about campus codes of conduct, please do so -- as a separate discussion.

Also, in my mind, there is no contradiction between teaching one's sons to respect women and working together towards a gender-equitable society. On the contrary, it's impossible to work together towards a gender-equitable society without teaching one's sons to respect women.[/quote]

Don't stop there...

It is also impossible to work together towards a gender -equitable society without teaching one's daughter that she must take responsibility for her actions and be culpable for those decisions.[/quote]
