Quote:Why do men rape women? How do we stop them from doing it? It's awful but how do stop people from doing things like that? I think with frats its about the power and the superior mentality. At least that's the impression I get from friends that were in frats. 

 

So should the university do nothing to this frat for being in poor taste and inflammatory to a serious issue (at best) or should they  ignore it and instead focus on stopping people from raping. You point is hard to figure out here.  

 

I think that with frats it's all about young men coming out of adolescence that don't know a whole lot about "sex in the real world" so to speak.

 

Think for a second what rape really is.  It's a violent act not a sexual act.  I think that these kids in fraternities are not attempting a violent act, it's all about the sex which they know little to nothing about (both the males and the females).  That's why it occurs.  I would bet that some of these encounters are the first time that they have ever experienced sex at all (again both males and females).

 

What could be done to solve the problem?  My first thought is education.  Where does that education come from?  Both from earlier experience at school and/or the parents.
