John replied to Luke's discussion I don't think telling men that we are all rapists prevents rape"He also makes the statement in his forward that "Men of all ages and in all parts of the world are more violent than women."

Daniel Gaston replied to Luke's discussion I don't think telling men that we are all rapists prevents rape"We had date rape awareness type lectures and such when I was in University but it was always mixed and talked strictly about what is and isn't ok, the laws concerning consent, etc. Thats fine. This whole "rape-supportive beliefs" BS…"

Luke B. replied to Luke's discussion I don't think telling men that we are all rapists prevents rape"This class is garbage and a waste of time. I'd bet that it will be attended by students in the most lazy way possible. I'd expect most to sleep through it and/or laugh about it later.
Back in high school (13 years ago, roughly), we were…"
Jeff replied to Luke's discussion I don't think telling men that we are all rapists prevents rape"The person giving the lecture is a generalist who has no expertise in anything but talking to college people. I have had to listen to this type of indoctrination on the corporate level, and all it is for is to be able to say that the college took…"
Rhubarb replied to Luke's discussion I don't think telling men that we are all rapists prevents rape"And oddly enough when men become the victims society makes jokes about it, I don't get it."
Rhubarb replied to Luke's discussion I don't think telling men that we are all rapists prevents rape"All the more reason for a refresher in college. :)"
Rhubarb replied to Luke's discussion I don't think telling men that we are all rapists prevents rape"In some countries (UK I think) the burden would fall on the victim, in the US if someone is past the point of consent the burden of not engaging in sex falls on the other person/s. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong."
Rhubarb replied to Luke's discussion I don't think telling men that we are all rapists prevents rape"Yes! And staying a few paces away is less worrying too.
I'll frequently offer other women help than have them worrying about a/the men who might offer it, especially if they have kids."
Rebekah replied to Luke's discussion I don't think telling men that we are all rapists prevents rape""At core, men are afraid women will laugh at them, while at core, women are afraid that men will kill them." Sounds right.
notice how frequently single women would cross the street, pull out their phone and talk to a friend while they…"
Rhubarb replied to Luke's discussion I don't think telling men that we are all rapists prevents rape"Good analysis Iiya! and now that I've reread the original post in context with the article I agree.
To me the idea of 'rape culture' is: that it is pushing aside women's rights to be sexual and not called names; or dealing with…"
Rhubarb replied to Luke's discussion I don't think telling men that we are all rapists prevents rape"The title is an attention getting one, and straight to the point in the college environment where men are most likely the rapists.

- Quote
- “The love of liberty loses none of its intensity. In the true manly heart it burns deeper and clearer with age, but it burns to enlighten and to warm, not to consume.” – Orestes Brownson
"When I fancied that I stood alone I was really in the ridiculous position of being backed up by all Christendom." – GK Chesterton
"I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy." – GK Chesterton
"To complain that I could only be married once was like complaining that I had only been born once. It was incommensurate with the terrible excitement of which one was talking. It showed, not an exaggerated sensibility to sex, but a curious insensibility to it." – GK Chesterton
"Do you see this lantern?" cried Syme in a terrible voice. "Do you see the cross carved on it and the flame inside? You did not make it. You did not light it. Better men than you, men who could believe and obey, twisted the entrails of iron and preserved the legend of fire. There is not a street you walk on, there is not a thread you wear, that was not made as this lantern was, by denying your philosophy of dirt and rats. You can make nothing. You can only destroy." - GK Chesterton
"Swords!" shouted Syme, turning his flaming face to the three behind him. "Let us charge these dogs, for our time has come to die." – GK Chesterton
"[W]hen he found that he had to wear a sword, it stirred a boyish dream. As he passed out of the room...he had all the swagger of a troubadour. For these disguises did not disguise, but reveal." – GK Chesterton
"Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox." – Proverbs 14:4
"Manliness seeks and welcomes drama and prefers times of war, conflict, and risk. Manliness brings change or restores order at moments when routine is not enough, when the plan fails, when the whole idea of rational control by modern science develops leaks. Manliness is the next-to-last resort, before resignation and prayer." – Harvey Mansfield
