I have a rather poor picture of humanity, not just men. IMO, we have to be trained to do the right thing. We may instinctively know what is correct, we may know from our culture and society what is correct. But at the end of the day, unless we are taught we will lack discipline. And, ah, being drunk in an alley is perhaps a great example of putting yourself in compromising positions. Russian roulette much?
I think ILA wants you banned. His personal disdain for you is not my concern, frankly.
the particular woman I'm thinking of was a friend of a friend. A wild child, prone to radical rash decisions. Back when I was doing the whole frat thing I would hang out with the theatre kids by week, and the frat by weekend. she, being a theatre kid, was rejected by me multiple times. She didn't meet my standards, and I told her that we were only friends. Well, one night we went to the city, to a club, the theater kids and I. I got drunk on 7 dollar beers and shots. she walked me back to my room, because I was drunk enough to think the lights across the way was my dorm. In my room she convinced me to shower and . . . I woke up. She manipulated a situation in which I was hardly fit to walk, let alone make moral judgments.
As far as you love life, I'm sorry your boys couldn't perform. Not all of us are blessed with vitality.
you seem to think you can close this losing argument of yours with some personal mumbo jumbo. As I said before, you didn't come to this site to debate, and you didn't come post this thread to debate either. You wanted a pat on the head for posting this crap, didn't you girl?
I didn't say the average would. But, I think the average guy, under the appropriate circumstances, would. a little social lubrication and a little pressure and most people crack.
When I speak of women people contributing to their own rape I am speaking about more than just physically 'teasing'. They way they dress, their postures, looks, nonverbal gesturing. Everything you do elicits a response from somebody. But this isn't new. Many are content just to list grand things, like going to the party and drinking the alcohol; taking a drink from a stranger or letting a group of strangers lead you off somewhere with promises of candy, dressing like a harlot.
You can spout out all the morality you please,
But when you dress a certain way, you get certain attentions.
When you act a certain way, you attract certain attentions.
When you willingly throw caution into the wind and put your wellbeing into others hand's sometimes bad things happen.
Of course it doesn't excuse the crime. But if you didn't do everything you could to prevent it, or at least take reasonable precautions; obvious precautions, then you are part of the problem. What if instead of a terrifying night, it was an oil rig? What if safety precautions were left unmet, and a pipeline busted, spilling tons of oil into the ocean? What if? Would you not blame the one's responsible for the safety of that rig? Is that rig, your body, not worth protecting, or is 'having a fun, relaxing night' worth the risk?
Right, and nobody ever lived a life they regretted, and then changed?
