...nearly one in five college women will face sexual assault during her college career, he said.

Yes, it’s those horrible predatory men. Look for a new campaign from the idiot that has people in an online video confessing to the crime of being white. This time it will feature white men confessing to the crime of being males.
While I don’t believe these numbers, I can believe instances of sexual assault are up over my days in college in the 1960s.
For one thing, we girls did not sleep around, and we kept ourselves out of ambiguous situations in which someone might think we were “easy”. Public drunkenness was just not acceptable among women. Again, we did not want to look easy, and we did not want to let down our defenses. For the same reasons, we used the buddy system; in those days, it was unheard of for a respectable girl to go into or out of a bar alone.
We went to a college orientation session at the UofMn this week. The “buddy system” is EXACTLY what the entering students are strongly encouraged to practice. So in that respect things haven’t changed that much.
But look at any hour of prime time TV. The constant message is sex is fun. The cool normal people have lots of sex with lots of people. It doesn’t mean anything, it’s just fun. And afterwards we can all laugh about it.
In all the lectures young folks get these days the one thing that ought to be taught isn’t - DON’T WATCH TV. They are LYING to you. If you try to copy those people you see on TV you will ruin your life.
