For your argument to have any validity, the man would have be actively participate in the actual making of the drink...and actively deceive the woman into what she is drinking. If that happens, I agree it is rape. If all you are doing is buying a girl a drink that she requests, that would not apply, IMO.

As such, what you are talking about happens very minimally. It certainly doesn't rise to a "culture" thing, IMO.

But the concept of getting a girl drunk so you can have sex with her is common place, and this is rape.


Is it sexist to believe she can't be trusted to monitor her own consumption and be held accountable for her actions?

actually sex and rape are not even really connected. You can check the experts on that, it's more dominance, than sex.

But good effort, good try.

the best solution to stop "rape culture" is for parents to teach their sons to respect woman. Many parents do this already, and for the ones that don't, I don't think there is much we can do outside of light education in school.

you still havent defined this "culture"

you used one example, it was thoroughly eviscerated, and here you are again...

So let's start from the top, please describe this "culture"

This is I don't believe that there is a pervading "rape culture" in this country.

Rapes happen. Obviously. But I have not seen sufficient evidence of rapes being common or accepted. I'd say you need those things for it to be a "culture"

I agree on that, but chronic masturbation and porn viewing (especially "rough" porn, etc.) have been shown to cause rapists.

no they havent, not even statistically. and the stats dont imply causation either.

Your post is the rare single sentence, double fail.

Not a good effort, and not a good try.

Don't most fraternity houses across the country have certain parties where the members work together to make large batches of hunch punch? Now obviously the girls have a choice whether to drink it or not, but you're naive to think men don't want women to drink more because it loosens their inhibitions. Often times it is consensual sex, and that is not the problem. There are times though that it is not consensual. That is where the problem lies.

you are also naive to think women dont drink to loosen their OWN inhibitions.

No, I was just emphasizing the word "some" in the context of the OP and the idea of an entire culture of rape.

That sound like the problem of rape. Not an indication of a rape culture.
