There’s a difference between “trying to bang” the freshman girls and thinking you are entitled to have sex with them. One results in rape culture. I’m not saying that it’s not a problem at public schools, but this whole game they came up with (“senior salute”) reeks of entitlement of a patriarchal institution. Am I…

Right, because Greg Haidl and his friends totally didn’t think that way. They lived at home with their parents and raped a classmate on camera. Try again.

That’s a really good point. That isolation from the opposite sex can actually heighten the kind of sexist attitudes that contribute to rape culture. Had the boys at this school spent MORE (yes, supervised) time around their female classmates the less likely, I think, they’d have been to view them as “rape-able”.…

Yeah, I’m shocked that male teenagers who are sent to a school which costs more than the average salary in the United States think that they are entitled to sex from women. Can’t imagine where they get their sense of entitlement.

Also, fuck your logic that its inedible that boy’s will rape if given the opportunity because of “hormones”. People don’t rape because they have sex drives. Good fucking god.

Teenage hormones and proximity are not to blame for rape. Wanting to rape is to blame for rape. This kind of shit happens all the time at regular high schools, where boys and girls don’t spend 24/7 together. I agree that the school should have been proactive about this terrible “Senior Salute” thing, but the idea that…

There’s no way rape would not eventually happen if ... people didn’t rape. Rape is not a product of poor supervision or hormones. One hundred percent of the time, rape is a product of rapists.

I really think this is the wrong way to look at this. You’re removing the responsibility of the rapist in this context. Yes, hormones are running wild for both sexes, and sex will happen. Rape is inexcusable and not a byproduct of teenage hormones. This thought process is part of what perpetuates rape culture.

I’m sorry, but this is asinine. Not only are dorms set up in a manner so that they are as well supervised as possible, but this is an issue of consent and consent education. Rape doesn’t just happen because hormones and close proximity.

There is just so, so much wrong with the way sex is looked at in the United States. I am completely and totally not surprised that “Senior Salute” and “sexual scoring” exists. While it’s been that way for boys for centuries, girls have their own way of “sexual scoring,” too.

No. Rape won’t “eventually happen” if kids are taught respect and consent and in general how to be a decent human being.

I'm not a fan of that act. Except in porn. Many of us homos only do that on special occasions. Like when your man won't stop whining about how long it's been since you let him wreck your dainty little love chute. I can honestly live without the whole thing, although tongue-anal is fantastic...to receive. But only…

welp, this just taught me that I have way fewer hangups about poop than your average person. I ... don't know what that says about me.

But I suggest carrying a tealight and matches in your purse / bag / pocket at all times for poopergencies. Lighting and then snuffing a match REALLY helps.
