Do you not see a difference between a woman walking down a public street, getting kidnapped and raped vs. a woman choosing to attend a party at frat house, choosing to drink whatever someone hands her, etc.

If anyone chooses to alter their mental awareness, they are accountable for the mistakes they made during their lapse in mental awareness (aka passing out arse up on a couch full of horny drunk college men). Is it rape? Up to the jury, but it's also a situation easily avoidable unlike the former example of strolling a public street.

Simple guide

1 - Don't go anywhere you may feel threatened and may be alone (frat-house).

2 - If #1 occurs, don't alert your mental state and ability to interpret your environment by drinking anything you don't pour yourself or you don't watch someone pour (house punch).

Actual rape? No. "Regretting a poor decision" sexual assault? Yes.

The topic of the thread is about what feminists have coined as "rape culture", and the OP gave the example of the Occidental student who was expelled based on "she-said" in a situation of consensual sex.

The feminists' war against men by pushing the idea of "rape culture" has done nothing more than encourage more "less-than-honest" accusations from girls who regretted fricking a guy the next day.

If a girl drinks at a party, decides to have sex with someone, and regrets her actions the next day, she can file a sexual assault complaint with the university, and it is completely her word against his. The process by which some universities are determining blame, and, ultimately, deciding a young man's fate, is very one-sided.

In the Occidental story, the young man was not given the opportunity to cross-examine any of the witnesses during the university's process.. It was nothing more than a hearing, with one side presented, and a decision made to expel the guy.

He has since filed suit against the university, which he damn well should have.

She claimed she was too drunk to remember. She was in his room, dancing and making out with him, went back to her room with a friend, the guy texted her to come back, and she texted him asking "do you have a condom?" He replied "yes", and she proceeded to go back downstairs to his room to have sex with him. That seems pretty consensual to me.

How is that not consent?
