(7,062 posts)I'm an educator, but I don't have as much faith in education as a lot of the posters here do apparently.
I think rape is a crime, and I think the guys who do it know full well that rape is rape.
Forcing yourself on someone who is too drunk to say no is rape (which is why the ad was warning women not to get too drunk to say no . . . I don't have a big problem with that). Forcing yourself on someone who is too shocked to say no is rape. The key words are "forcing yourself on" . . . healthy sexuality has no element of coercion in it.
I believed feminists when they said that rape is a crime of violence not a crime of sex. It should therefore be as futile to try to educate away rape as trying to educate away murder or armed robbery.
But a massive "rape education policy" would provide a great pretext for rad fems to ram their message of women's victimhood down the throats of all the men who already aren't rapists and never will be.
