The Frat Sexual Assault Connection: Is It Fair?
Think of your typical, hyper-masculine college dude, and you'll usually think: frat guy. But a new study shows that's not true! So if hypermasculinity and sexual ...
"Slightly less rapey..." I could tell Cara was biting her tongue through
the first minute of the show, so it wasn’t a shock that she blurted "rapey"
the first chance she got. The point was that guys in fraternities feel less
need to exaggerate their masculinity because they were already accepted
into a male community, whereas men without that community feel a heightened
need to 'prove' themselves. In our society demeaning women is advertised as
'manly.’ Look at the Music industry, for starters.
Even though female victims of rape are told not to blame themselves, they
do anyway. Any psychologist will tell you that. The real problem is that
men feel like they can't complain about being sexually assaulted because
their friends tell them they should feel lucky and to stop being a pussy.
Men also give the impression that they will take sex from anyone, any time
regardless of the circumstances. If that's not the case then men need to
start educating women on that fact because women don't kno
Only in prison and the military do men have to really worry about the
prospect of rape. For women, going to a party or on a date can pose the
risk of rape. Go ahead now, prove the error in that and show me how I'm
bigoted against my own sex for being REALISTIC about violence, lol.. For
both men and women, the fear is the threat posed by violent men, not
violent women. Because we all know men commit violent and sexual crimes
more often. That is not bigotry against men - those are just FACTS.
Evil enough is not the right word. We are victims to our upbringing and the
ease to rape a woman is easier than a man due to the ease of women in
gaining sexual partners and the equipment makes it easier. Few are
inherently evil and most are just victim of their nurturing. You're
disregard for those raped shows you don't find the act to be evil since you
differentiate between genders but just the suffering of women. Quite
interesting in your perception of this social issue no? True colors~
Let me be clear, It's a very rare occurrence for a man to say they don't
want sex, but when they do, it's because the girl is saying no to him
first. It's not unreasonable to assume that men have ulterior motives,
because they often do. Women have to understand that in order to protect
themselves. However, if the man truly doesn't want sex, all they have to
say is, "no, seriously don't", and the woman will stop. But I have never
heard of or seen a man stop a woman from trying to fuck them.
... as if men decline sex, women are often incredibly offended, because
they believe that since men will have sex with any woman, they must be
hideous to be turned down (and that's another stereotype, that it's all
about looks to men, not personality or other factors), but men who know
this (that women are often incredibly offended if men turn them down) can
often feel pressured into sex they didn't want (which has happened to me, I
liked the woman but I would have preferred to wait).
Rape education class is almost as bad as New York having a John (guys that
purchase hookers) education class. I would bet the prevention rate in John
classes is maybe 1%. How stupid is a guy that doesn't know that no means no
or that a girl who cannot talk clearly is too drunk to have sex? John class
is worse because what guy thinks healthy females are hookers? Everyone
knows hookers come from broken homes, has a pimp, into drugs, kids, raped
multiple times and/or has low self-esteem.
Wait, I'm confused... so your friends girlfriend started having sex with
him while he was passed out drunk? Did she not know he was passed out? If
she didn't know, that would explain why she would be angry if he accused
her of rape. Something doesn't add up here... Details? Also, it's common
knowledge that nearly all victims of rape blame themselves to a large
degree, there's no gender bias with that. I think you may be generalising
based off of your experience with your one friend.
I'm aware that some blame themselves, but fewer will blame themselves, and
blame themselves less than if they didn't have those messages, which men
don't, which is my point. "If that's not the case" for the majority of men,
it's not, especially after their teenage years. I doubt this lead to too
many rapes (most of the time, a rapist is aware that what they're doing is
wrong, and take steps to avoid being caught), but it certainly does cause
problems, probably mostly for women.
"It's a very rare occurrence for a man to say they don't want sex" which is
partly cultural. For instance, a guy I play video games with online was
talking about a woman he was dating, and said while she was very beautiful,
he mostly liked her for her personality. I asked him if he had told this to
any of his friends at highschool and he said he'd never feel comfortable
telling them something like that (he'd be afraid they'd think less of him
for it).
No, I don't see it. Women don't use date rape drugs, restraints etc.,
because they don't have to. I've only ever heard of one story of a man
being tied up and raped. That just doesn't happen, and if it does, we don't
hear about it because men don't talk about it. Reason being, they don't
want to be viewed as a pussy by other males. My point is, men need to get
over their fear of being judged by other men. Women shouldn't take much
blame for that.
"SEEM more threatening ..." That doesn't sound like a very scientific
finding for this "study". Were there any actual statistics in the study to
back up this "conclusion"? Not only is this conclusion counter intuitive,
it's counter to my college experience. Frats were not bastions of women's
rights in my day. That also seemed to be the case when my kids were in
college. If it's changed in the past few years, I'd like to see the
evidence of that.
if women had penises every single god damn thing that moved would be
getting its guts stuffed. and its not because men are evil, often times
they have serious psychological problems. im nto saying that excuses it but
just get your facts straight. women on the other hand, biologically
speaking theyre main purpose is to just have babies. and then to take care
of it. theyre built more then men for sex. its time people stop shying away
from that.
No, she was not at the party. The guy was at the party alone, got drunk,
passed out, woke up to a strange woman sexually assaulting him, girlfriend
finds out, gets pissed at the guy. It's not the only friend who has told me
such a story, and it's certainly not the only story I've heard. I think men
are more likely to blame themselves than women, if nothing else because
society is so quick to go "you mustn't blame yourself" to female victims.
"No, I don't see it. Women don't use date rape drugs, restraints etc.,
because they don't have to." Then you clearly understand nothing about
sexual violence. Many male sex offenders are attractive, charismatic, many
are financially/socially successful and quite capable of getting sexual
partners without "resorting" to rape. We don't hear about it because it
doesn't fit the social narrative of "only men perpetrate sexual violence".
I dislike how all the assumptions in this video about the research fit Cara
preconceptions. by saying that frat boys are "slightly less rapey" than non
fraternity associated boys, and solely by virtue of some education program.
She implies that the larger male student body are seething mass of rape.
Don't project your ideology onto a body of people. she doesn't explore any
other options and seems committed to a preconceived notion.
The policy is usually related to functions in Greek life (date parties,
formals, charity events, etc.) We don't police personal lives. Although, if
the "bad break up" became a public nuisance, the fraternity then may have
to take action if the individual reflects badly upon the organization. The
last thing a fraternity wants is to have a nasty reputation on campus. That
is the main reason behind our code of ethics.
I'm sorry, but it's a pretty straight forward question. It seems to me that
this whole "feminists are too sensitive and think everything is rape"
argument is a huge straw man. So maybe, instead of calling people ignorant,
you actually open your ears and listen to some actual feminists instead of
listening to what these little boys on youtube think feminists are. Or,
here's an idea, make an actual argument.
Again, this reaction is very telling, and you're missing my point. My point
is that there is evidence that men have things they care about besides just
sex (and sometimes care about more than sex), you're just choosing not to
see it. I'll give you another example. I personally met an incredibly
beautiful woman in college, but I wouldn't have given her a second thought
until I realised how smart she was.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you're comment implies that by being
in those institutions your problems aren't worthy of merit. I loathe to use
the word but aren't you Victim-blaming a little? If there is an edit
function I'd probably indulge in its use, as starting with an insult
referring to intelligence then failing to demonstrate your own intellect is
a poor way to rebuke a point.
The majority of stereotypes of "frat boys" are out of date, yes there are
some guys who are no good, but that's the same in any social group. It's
bigotry and unfair to simply say that we're rapists when I can, from my
time in university, tell you I heard a whole hell of a lot more stories of
unwelcome advances and ungentlemanly behaviour from those outside the greek
system than those in it.
I call bullshit. The only thing I can think of is students of a different
school or a non student in general being more rapey than frat brothers. I
do not see very many guys outside of frats that are raping women in the
news, through word of mouth, or anything. I know for a fact a frat that
spiked Capri Suns with alcohol and served it to girls so they would have
sex with them.
Another problem with that is, men also perpetuate the feeling that women
taking advantage of men is ok by saying stuff like, "Dude, you were passed
out and you woke up with some chick riding you?! That's awesome!" Saying
that makes women think that they are doing men a favor instead of it being
rape. If guys have a problem with it, then they need to start saying as
much.
"Women shouldn't take much blame for that" where did I say I was blaming
women for this? Your reaction I think is very telling. However I think you
would be naive to think that women have had no role to play in the "suck it
up" mentality we have towards men, not just in this context, but many
contexts (ie mental illness, relationship problems etc).
What I'm trying to say is that women don't know that a man could truthfully
just not want sex. It goes beyond a stereotype because men often DO want
sex but they will say they don't just want sex... to make a girl feel
comfortable in order to get into a girls pants. My point is, how are women
supposed to know the difference?
Honestly, most girls believe most men are rapists. As sad as that is, it is
the truth. Ask girls who are your friends who do you think in this room
would rape you, if you were in a room alone with them? Girls will point out
a lot of guys. You'll be shocked and it will be over half the room for most
girls. FUCKED UP BUT TRUE!
"The point is that ImaginedWriter is complaining about the way women view
it." and I think such complaints are valid. Yes and the majority of black
people need to worry about black people attacking them... your point? Your
rhetoric makes it clear you are basically bigoted towards men, so I'm not
going to waste my time.
Also men are more likely to blame themselves, and accept blame placed on
them by others. The example above is based on something that happened to a
friend of mine, his girlfriend's response to it when she found out was to
threaten to dump him if he ever got that drunk again.
Advantages of an Engineering Degree
We visited Dartmouth's 15th annual Engineering Career Fair and asked employers to discuss the advantages of an engineering degree in today's economy.
...also, this just in: "You're an Engineer? You're Hired: The unemployment
rate in the field these days is a super-low 2 percent."
usnews.com/education/best-graduate-schools/articles/2012/03/22/youre-an-engineer-youre-hired
People who are spreading myths about engineers having difficulty getting
high paying jobs, are all high school drop-outs or lazy stupid Americans
who are afraid of math.
@como651 Hmm. What are your thoughts on this article? "Best-paying college
major: engineering"
money.cnn.com/2011/04/08/pf/college/best_paying_college_majors/
To the Dean of the Law School, it's very difficult to make a meaningful
fulfilling life and taking a job that makes you happy... when I have 6
figures worth of debt to pay off... and my only advanced skill set is the
one I acquired from going to law school. You never worked in Nebraska. You
never worked at a small firm. Who are you to tell me what to do? I can't
pay my loans until I get a high paying job.
@absolutprince That's the sick joke of law school - most of these clowns
only barely worked as lawyers before they went into teaching! And some of
the little mofos went straight from law school to law prof somehow!! Check
out blogs like Third Tier Reality or sites like Student Loan Justice for
info on how bad the system is and how to fight scum like SallieMae.
