date rape n. forcible sexual intercourse by a male acquaintance of a woman, during a voluntary social engagement in which the woman did not intend to submit to the sexual advances and resisted the acts by verbal refusals, denials or pleas to stop, and/or physical resistance. The fact that the parties knew each other or that the woman willingly accompanied the man are not legal defenses to a charge of rape, although one Pennsylvania decision ruled that there had to be some actual physical resistance.
"Voluntary social engagements" do usually involve multiple decisions to agree or disagree with any given choice along the way. While I suppose there's a rare case of someone being date raped while attending a lecture on campus or something, usually there's a "date" involved. Hence, the name. Dates usually involve choices like going out to eat, going dancing, drinking, going jointly to a private location, etc.
I guess I did have to spell it out. Really? Why does it always seem like some people ask the most moronic questions?

The way you wrote this statement of yours implies that the woman agreed to sex originally, then changed her mind. Perhaps you're just bad at English? Is that what you were implying, or did you just write it poorly?

I have not attacked any such suggestion. I have said that your attitude suggests that the woman be blamed for putting herself in the situation where she has been raped. Which is true.

I'm not sure how you equate "avoid ending out alone, drunk, in the bedroom of a guy you only know casually", to "don't date or kiss, or have fun... ever". Bit of an excluded middle there.

Doesn't matter. No means no, no matter when it was said. I don't care how hard up the dude is, he can just let her out the door then go molest a washcloth in the bathroom.

Huh? Where do you get this? I said that she agreed to go out to eat, then to go dancing, then to drink, then to go jointly to a private location. You're inserting your own assumptions in there.
The definition said is involves a "voluntary social engagement". What do you think that means? And no... It does not mean that she originally intended to have sex and then changed her mind. It means that she voluntarily engaged in some sort of social activity with the guy. WTF?
You're really reaching here.

Which is excluding the middle.
Like say, do all those things minus getting undressed in a room with the guy.
Further muddying the water is the nonzero number of people who prefer a somewhat more adversarial bedroom approach.
He's not condoning the actions, rather saying people should be smarter about predicting the potential consequences.
Gbaji does have a legitimate view here, however unsuccessfully he is defending it.

Why do you interpret that as me saying the woman is at fault? What I'm saying is that we should be teaching women when to say no. And I don't mean "wait until he's forcing himself on you to say no". I mean, decide if you think it's a good idea to go off alone with this guy you just met before doing so. I mean, decide whether it's a good idea to get falling down drunk without some friends around to make sure some guy doesn't take advantage of you before doing so. And if you decide that those are bad ideas, say "no", when the guy asks you to do them.
This is no different than teaching people to lock their cars, or to not leave their valuables in plain sight, or teaching children not to talk to strangers. I still just find it interesting that in this one area, somehow it's wrong for us to do this. It's offensive to suggest that it's a good idea to teach women that some guys out there aren't going to respect them and aren't going to take a "no" answer to sex and to take precautions to reduce the likelihood that they find themselves in that situation?
I don't see it. What it does do is confirm my earlier statement that there seems to be this odd push to teach young women to be victims and come forward about it afterwards rather than not be victims in the first place. Don't you see that by being so negative towards even the suggestion that we should focus on avoiding dangerous situations that you're reinforcing this very mixed message I talked about earlier. Teaching guys that "no means no" is great and all. But in all likelihood, the guys who are in the classes and sensitivity seminars being taught that aren't the guys you need to worry about.
Dunno, I just think it's a foolish approach to the issue. There's a very real and very dangerous world out there, and I really do believe that some of the messages young women are being given result in them having a false sense of security. I'm not advocating locking themselves up in ivory towers or anything. But I think that providing young women with better tools to be able to maybe see danger coming before it's too late would be a better approach.
How is that wrong, much less "disgusting"?

Nad's figured it out right off the bat. I thought in context that what I was saying was pretty clear.
But for those who thought otherwise: I was talking about all the choices leading up to ending out alone, perhaps drunk, perhaps semi-nude, perhaps already making out with a guy, and then saying "no" to actual intercourse. I was talking about saying "yes" to going to dinner, "yes" to going dancing, "yes" to having drinks, "yes" to making out with the guy, "yes" to going back to his place, and "yes" to making out on his bed. In a typical date rate scenario, the woman has said "yes" to numerous choices along the way. That's not to say she was wrong, or to blame for those choices, just that at any point she could have chosen to end the evening, but didn't.
I'm saying that teaching women to say "no" before they end out half naked in some guys bedroom, and out of public view will minimize their odds of being date raped. I don't think it's a bad idea to teach young women that the best time to end the evening with someone you don't trust 100% is before you are alone with them in an intimate setting. Again, this is not about blame. It's about educating women about precautions they can take while dating. As I've said repeatedly, this is no different than locking your doors, or hiding your valuables. In a perfect world, none of us would have to do those things.
But we don't live in a perfect world.

I think it's about 10% the way I've said it, and 90% the way some posters have chosen to interpret what I've said. Don't blame me because some posters go out of your way to look for something in my post to be offended by.
If someone was actually unsure what I meant, they could have asked instead of leaping to conclusions and calling me names. And yeah, I agree with the "more concise" issue, but honestly no matter how clearly I try to write things, it seems like someone will still find a way to twist it around to mean something I didn't intend. I don't think you know just how often I'll write something, realize someone might take it the wrong way, then re-write it. There's a point at which I just can't predict every possible mind-bending way someone might choose to view what I've written.

TLW, gbaji has a valid view here...?
I say again, of course women should be cautious. But to suggest that if she's not, it's sort of her own fault is ridiculous. A woman can be stark naked laying in a guy's bed, say no, and it still be rape if he forces it on her.
Also, to say that "focusing" on getting rapists in jail is bad is also ridiculous.
The underlying point of thinking ahead and not walking down a dark alley is great. I get that. But suggesting that you teach women when to say no instead of a man that "no means no," and suggesting that if a woman agrees to going out with a man, agrees to dinner, agrees to popcorn at a movie, and even goes home and lets him feel her up then she's partially to blame for being raped, that's going entirely too far, and it is not ever, ever a valid view.

So the couple goes out, they have dinner, movie, dancing, whatever. He asks her to go back to his house. He's not made one move all night, barely even touched her. He says he wants her to come back to his house (or he wants to go to her house) just to talk some more, get to know her better. It's been a great date and she has no reason to believe he's lying to her.
They get in the house, five minutes later he's pressuring her for sex. She really didn't see this coming. He's laid a trap, and now she's caught.
Is this the woman's fault? When should she have said no? How should she have seen this coming?
How about this: "Men are assholes".
Except me, of course.

Right, teaching women to never interact with men would minimize rape.
But it's everyone else who's being impractical by suggesting that "no means no" is worth teaching, huh?
