ORIGINAL: tazzygirl Yeah, I would imagine most men would be lost at this point. I would imagine most men would be "lynched" for making a similar statement about women. (I hope) I get what you're saying, but I would love a clearer aswer to the implicit question. quote:
Try the mid 80's to the mid 90's... the introduction of, and the various studies about, date rape, which was he context that the vassar woman was speaking about. That's a lot later than I thought she made the statement, which makes it even more crucial to forming a reasonable opinion to know whether she was indeed referencing false accusations, or the perception of same. If you would give a clear-cut answer to that, it would be appreciated. I don't much mind being lost now and again, but I prefer to be found. Health, al-Aswad. First, a new “sexual assault” category will significantly broaden the old denotation “sexual offenses” under Section 21 of the regulations. Soucy said, “We heard from many victims that using the word ‘rape’ doesn’t always apply to the circumstances, since sexual assault is not always sexual intercourse. So instead we went to a broader definition for our college regulations and used the term ‘sexual assault’ to encompass a variety of unwanted sexual behaviors.” An update to their sexual offence rules at Vassar. Read the bolded part again.... they heard from victims. Women are just as confused, at times, as men as to when to yell rape and when not too. And, gentlemen, I am sorry you seem to be having trouble understanding my responses. There isnt a single bone in my body that hates a man. There are, in fact, many parts of me that crave men. But I wont be silenced because men do not like something I have said and, instead of asking for clarification, they make assumptions. quote:
I get what you're saying, but I would love a clearer aswer to the implicit question. Allow me to put it this way... if women are confused between the differences, why would I assume men understand them? That has nothing to do with sexism, elitism, or any other kind of ism you gentlemen can come up with. If the victim doesnt know what to lable things and why, and the law doesnt really care or is frustrated because they dont get it either, why on earth would I presume to insist that every man should damn well understand because....? Why? He is a man? he is all knowing?
