Right, which is why I added the caveat of who is the driver of the hookup. If both parties are drunk, who is consenting? Whose bodily autonomy is being violated? There is a lot of grey area, so it's important to consider each case independently.

I think some of my opinion can be explained here: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

My posts are woman-centric because, oddly enough, this is a pretty feminist site. What they aren't however, is "man-hating" or "against men." A guy has the responsibility to know where he puts his penis. As the "driver" of his penis, he needs to know where it is going. My previous opinion was that it's all about who…

Except they followed the rules of the school and the rules of an official school hearing? So not a kangaroo court?

I've heard you use the phrase "kangaroo court" before, but I don't think it means what you think it means. All the judge said in this case was that he needs time to hear the case and make a judgement - it's a very common procedure done in many cases. It doesn't mean that one side has proven its case or that one side…

Women can be active participants, but they can also be passive. Same goes for men. It depends on the situation.

She isn't responsible for where his penis goes because it's his penis. She's responsible for where her vagina goes, which is why a woman can be a rapist if the guy has no control over where his penis is going (such as if she puts her vagina on his penis and he can't move his penis away).

Well, I believe that men can be raped and that they can be raped in a way that some would call "made to penetrate." However, it takes more effort to get an erection and penetrate a female or male person than it does for a woman or man to lie there. Unless a man is unable to control where his erection is going (i.e. he…

In order to get the degree, he has to abide by the University's rules and can be expelled or suspended even if he pays them. The University also reserves the right to determine who has and who has not violated their rules. That was part of the agreement. If he does not abide by the rules, they can withhold their end…

Actually, in other cultures than ours, male and female behavior may be more strictly regulated later on but less so as children. For whatever reason, these people have more similar brains than do men and women in our culture, indicating that it is our culture that is reinforcing and creating these gender preferences.

What rights of his are being violated by the "state" that are owed to him? That is, how is due process being violated?

The problem with the studies that have been conducted with gender differences so far have been that they can't take environment into account. Maybe boys and girls have different brains not because they are inherently different, but because their brains are reacting to the way that others are encouraging them to…

Sorry, I hate not being able to edit. These kids' actions hurt another human being, whereas hers did not. They need to know that their actions are not acceptable, but I am not suggesting that people should be able to look them up and e-mail them to say that they (the kids) are whores or assholes who don't deserve to…

No one here is arguing that people should not be allowed to express ideas, just that they should face the consequences of their actions. For example, if that shitty thing you said to someone causes them to kill themselves, you may have to face some punishment for not being a decent human being. 18-year-olds are…

Wow, you have an understanding of what suicide is, but not the factors that can lead to it or what kind of brain chemistry is behind it. Statements like that are super offensive to suicide-attempt survivors and family members of people who have committed suicide.

Except porn was regularly discussed at my high school. Guys were totally open about watching it, liking it, needing the release, etc. Girls then were a little more reticent about even admitting to masturbation, but there are plenty of women I know who watch porn or have previously watched it and admitted it in public.…

You know that all men do gross things for money, too, including marrying women for financial security?

Yearbooks these days have tons of things in them that don't relate to learning and academia. They deal with cancer, deaths in the family, vacations, best friends, senior year, etc. Not to mention all the sports teams!

I don't think they are being "celebrated" above and beyond teens who didn't get pregnant. I'm sure other teens got pictures for honor societies, clubs, dances, theatre, etc. In my yearbook, there were tons of pictures of kids who didn't have any accomplishments at all, just participation in various things. These kids…

You do know that the pledge of allegiance was written for the World's Fair in Chicago and had nothing to do with God? That the god part was added during the Cold War to show that we Americans were more god-loving than those silly Communists who were going to hell? And that atheists believe in many things?
