i have some advice for young women: i think they should go to parties where there's lots of alcohol and get shitfaced, then expect everybody else to take care of them until they sober up.

How about educating the dumb jock who thinks it's okay to abuse woman. Sexual or otherwise. He talked about things one does AFTER the fact. We need prevention.

do you really think the issue is a lack of education? dumb jocks are dumb. you'd have better luck teaching a lion to become a vegetarian.
world's a rough place. gotta deal with it, or you become a casualty.
You Don't Say?
problem is most people who are sexually abusing women don't view themselves as sexually abusing women, hence why you ought to not go to parties that involve a lot of alcohol, since it inhibits good judgement like that. sounds like some of the best prevention advice available to me.
jessica
that's absolute bullshit. they know exactly what they're doing.

Sure, its common sense that it's best to avoid being somewhere you may be vulnerable, but you can't blame a girl for wanting to go out??? Why is it that girls should stay home or avoid drinking because of what could happen to them at a party?? Isn't it time teach hormonal, imbecilic boys that it's aBSOLUTELY NOT OKAY to take advantage of girls or others??? Come oN, it's 2016 not 1016

They're trying to teach them. Rape has been illegal for a long time. But rape awareness has already grown into a borderline obsession.

That's stupid, they're drunk, I would never put myself next to a drunk guy, and I'm a guy. Everybody is at danger when someone is drunk. A dudes just more likely to get his ass beat by a drunk guy than raped. Is that really worth going to a party and making a fool of yourself? A party Is a risky place when there's substances like that. You can't teach a drunk driver how to drive, so don't expect to teach a drunk man how not to rape.
jessica
do you honestly think they don't know better?
has it crossed your mind that they don't care, and they're never going to care?
does a lion shed a tear for an antelope?
world's a shitty place, kid.

Well that's a brutal way of putting it.

coming out of the 60s, there's been a lot of parents that haven't been teaching their kids about the way the world is, and it's going to require a correction in the other direction.

I honestly think he makes a good point. It's better to try to take steps to stay safe and prevent it from happening in the first place, but of course at the same time, people should be taught not to rape. No one is saying that we shouldn't.
jessica
see, you really shouldn't have to be taught not to rape, should you? that should be kind of obvious, you'd think - obvious enough that the benefit of the doubt is not worthwhile. and, it's ridiculous that there's even a discussion.
"well, nobody ever told him. how was he supposed to know?"
right.
but, that's not what makes me so angry about this. what makes me angry about this is the absolute default of parental responsibility that comes in telling your daughter that she has nothing to fear, because she has rights.
i'm not going to blame anybody for getting raped. the premise is preposterous. but, i'll absolutely point fingers at parents for failing at their responsibility to instill a concept of healthy fear in their daughters for a world full of dangerous predators.
you can't reverse negligence. but, you can take steps to stop it from perpetuating.
