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?

The attitude about rape is definitely dependent on who's accused of the rape. I've seen on this very site comments calling the girl a slut or worse because as a minor she had sexual contact with an older student athlete who was prosecuted for his actions. Yet if a similar incident occurs elsewhere (FSU) for example the overwhelming disgust for the act is almost universal.
Women don't go to frat parties to talk literature for sure, but neither do most go to exclusively have sex. Rape culture is a stupid word and certainly our culture values the safety of all women, but how many times do you see the male child's sexual activities condoned or even encouraged and in the same family the female is expected to be the voice of reason and not be sexually active. In a post from last year a co ed at Ole Miss was photographed in bed with two guys from a fraternity. She was scandalized and branded a whore, while the men proudly went about their business. In college at a party a few guys came up to me and said a train was being run on a girl. She had drank too much and was passed out, but never in anyway deserved or wanted that to happen. I kept thinking that the voice of decency would prevail with the men involved, but it didn't. It bothers me to this day that I didn't go and stop it. There was no excuse for them to do what they did or for me for not intervene.
