i think we are feeding that. blurring the lines. i dont hold the position as so many that only a demented psychotic rapes. i think people can tell themselves all kinds of things to validate a behavior and if there are no strict code of behavior, acceptance it is much easier for some to walk over the line that they may not otherwise do with societal absolutes.

the reason this is so hard is because there are people that use this argument in areas we would abhor hearing and we fight against. i am not smart enough to figure out how to address it. i just know in my heart, it is.

the upside crispy, is already a new generation is coming. i have said since the mid to late 90's this has been a boiling vat of experiment with our kids. the older kids walked into this with no perception of what was happening. the younger kids have watched. a lot of them are not accepting or liking what they are seeing. they are making different choices and drawing lines.

sexting was at 30% in middle school 4? yrs ago. there has been a big push to educate the kids. i recently saw it is 10% now.
