Some people are apologists... YoungDemCA Nov 2012 #79
Y'know Will... kentuck Nov 2012 #83
I, too, am surprised by that. nt cry baby Nov 2012 #85
Similarly appalling posts in another thread on this as well: yardwork Nov 2012 #87
This actually goes much deeper. tonybgood Nov 2012 #93
This assumes the incoming freshman are the rapists Gore1FL Nov 2012 #94
Missed the point. The Doctor. Nov 2012 #99
As you state: Gore1FL Nov 2012 #155
Well, you kinda suggested that The Doctor. Nov 2012 #181

Point by point. Gormy Cuss Nov 2012 #143
thank you Gormy Cuss BlancheSplanchnik Nov 2012 #145
Here's an idea: let's leave aside the word "feminism." Why not have ALL the incoming freshmen Chorophyll Nov 2012 #165
Fully agree. lumberjack_jeff Nov 2012 #166
Well that was easy. Chorophyll Nov 2012 #175
No, it means advocacy for women. lumberjack_jeff Nov 2012 #176
Teaching self-defense makes sense. Gore1FL Nov 2012 #159
Ridiculous, unless your definition of rape is strictly "crazy stranger in the shadows." Chorophyll Nov 2012 #163
OK Fine. Give the how not to rape class. Gore1FL Nov 2012 #183
