One in five women in college sexually assaulted

Why do the parents keep sending them to such brutal places?.

By Golly, this has to be your only decent post.

I find the number hard to believe...it depends on your definition of "assault".

[h=1]Feminists want us to define these ugly sexual encounters as rape. Don’t let them.[/h]

I found a couple of bits interesting....

Still, the report did indicate interesting trends over time, including the fact that sexual assault on campus had been declining in recent years–and that the incidence of sexual assault was higher for women who were not in college.

... and a 2014 MIT survey which found that 17 percent of female undergraduates experienced one or more unwanted sexual behaviors.

Please define "unwanted sexual behaviors". I'm quite sure there are women out there who feel being hit on by Boing constitutes unwanted sexual behavior.

When I was in university, similar issues as above came up, and I found them to be rather troubling. One being after-the-fact rape, or in other words the woman wakes up the next day and thinks "oh shit, I slept with him."

The other that really incensed me was at a start of the year mixer. Everybody was drinking. A senior female student came onto male freshman. She was the aggressive one, and initiated the intercourse. She later accused him of raping her, because she was too drunk to consent. As I recall the school sided with her that a drunk freshman should be able to tell if someone else is capable of giving consent. Uh, what? For the life of me, I still can not figure out how someone who's drunk, and therefore not capable of giving their consent, should be expected to be able to determine if someone else is capable of giving consent.

Like OG, I do question the numbers as well, for the above reasons.

I knew guys whom did the former. Had a little too much to drink, or what ever, woke up the next morning with someone they regretted and went "oh shit." Did they then trot off to the school authorities and claim to be raped? No, they "manned up," lived with is and the razzing from their floor-brothers.

I think history has shown many men have been cruel to women. However I think we need to be more aware that more and more women have assaulted or harassed men without getting punished for it.

They basically call looking at them as sexual assault, give me a break.

Its more conflated stats to desexualize men.

Are you sure they are not going to Church instead :don'twantto-see:/

I always go back to the situation they had at Brown University about a decade ago....


Girl gets drunk.
Girl goes to guys dorm room.
Girl has sex with guy.
Girl goes home.
Girl sobers up.
Girl regrets her hookup.


Guy is called rapist because she was drunk and made a bad decision.


How many guys in their late teens and early twenties wouldn't have had sex with that girl? Why did she hold no responsibility for her actions and all the blame for the sexual encounter placed on the guy.


This goes back to that other thread about equal rights and responsibilities for men and women. If there is truly equality between sexes, then women should step up and defend a guy accused of rape in a situation like the one above. Women should also be accused of rape for taking advantage of guys when they are drunk. But we'll never see that because people can't look at a situation as Indvidual A and indivdual B. They have to bring gender into things and therefore, bias.

+1 in response to Promo's and Dave's. Seriously what gives the woman the right to assault a man and get away with it when this is not the case for man. I wouldn't physically retaliate but I would contact the police. The problem is the police officers would look at me if I was joking or some f...ing wimp. Sorry ladies, if you assault an INNOCENT man (annoying doesnt count) you deserve the consequences whatever that may be.

I was doing some research recently, and found very few resources for men who need help because they're being abused.

There are only a few resources because our soceity expects us to handle it like a "man" and some women take advantage of this.

Quite the conundrum - until a whole lot of men report their abuse, the government won't realize there's a need, but the government needs to set up a reporting system for men, before they can report it.
