Quote:Rape is non-consensual sexual contact. It doesn't have to involve tying a woman to the bed, beating her senseless or holding a gun to her head. It can be as peaceful as a Xanax slipped into her punch (which is kind of close to attempted murder, actually) to make her more "agreeable", or a dose of GHB to knock her out for a few hours.

 

It really feels like you're making excuses for frat boys who prey on women here, simply because they don't have "real world" experience with sex. I don't have "real world" experience with murder--does that count as a mitigating factor if I walk down the street shooting people?

 

I mean, seriously, how much "education" is needed to grasp the concept that drugging a woman and having sex with her while she's out is wrong?

 

I have to disagree with you regarding rape as I understand it.  To me, rape is a violent crime that has nothing to do with sex.  It's all about domination, control and in most cases, very brutal.  That's not to say that it doesn't happen at some point using drugs, but let's look at the big picture here.

 

I'm not making excuses for frat boys, only trying to identify and solve the problem.  Are frat boys slipping date-rape drugs into drinks fed to young girls trying to do so to commit rape (as I defined it above) or is it because they want to "get their first experience"?

 

I do find it kind of "uncomfortable" that you seem to know which drugs to administer and the effects though.  (I kid  ).
