I couldn't help but notice the political jibe from Beck's site implying "progressives" are behind date rape -- very nice. Doesn't quite blame them but muddies the water by suggesting the policies they promote are to blame.

Isn't it obvious? Progressives promote policies that help the poor, which helps those said poor afford alcohol to give to women. Only poor people rape, as conservatives can afford to spend that money on a hooker instead of the drugs required for said rape.

The people who came up with that number assumed that if the girl has had one drop of alcohol before sex, she was raped. Even if the girl said she wasn't raped.

why do "those people" think that? Again, because you said so?

From a business perspective who cares? This is a genius idea. The fear of being drugged and raped is huge on college campuses. This also gives girls an out, they can think I can now test my drinks! OMG YAY! Forget the fact that Alcohol is a great date rape drug too....

Those guys will make bank.

From a business perspective, no argument here, those guys will make a ton of money off of the hysteria of made up rape statistics.

hmm, interesting. I actually like that site. :) Would like to see more follow-up.

Meaning, it's a worthy critique of the study from 1984, but there isn't much more beyond that one statement. Even going back and doing a separate meta-analysis of the same data used in the 1984 study (difficult as that may be, as the model itself is likely flawed...so it's difficult to parse respondents using such a general answer)

If you want to see more of these types of stats debunked, go check out Men's Rights sites

It's insane how many colleges are setting up kangaroo courts and denying men due process. It really is at hysteria levels.

If it works by changing colors, then it would serve to alert that girl and her friends and might well be a genius preventative measure. It will be most interesting to see what comes of this.

More like guys who were kicked off campus because some girl decided she was gonna claim it was rape because her friends found out.

Or guys who were divorced by their wives and had their kids and homes taken away by a biased court system.

They have had straws that do this for years now.

no shit? thats awesome. Sad that it has to come to that though.

but women need to do something to protect themselves. Far to many asshole guys that have no self control.

...and far too many women have too much to drink, fuck a guy then wait a week to claim it was rape after their friends find out. A good friend of mine nearly lost his job and house because of a woman pulling that stunt. She later withdrew the accusation and suffered no consequences for almost ruining his life.

Rapist should have their junk cut off as far as I am concerned but going out for a drink with a woman, getting drunk and having consensual sex is not rape no matter how much certain parts of the media love to portray it as such.

To be clear, not all date rape drugs render the victim completely motionless. Many of them simply alter their ability to recall their actions.

Also, you probably won't be surprised at the amount of flat out ignorance of people in college. I talked to several female students at a university once about date rape drugs and they were completely clueless.

My teenage daughter has been well trained on how to handle herself in life fortunately.

Many states have laws that state that there can be no legal consent if someone is impaired. That usually applies generically to just about anything, including sexual relations.

FTFY.

Also, if BOTH parties are drunk, it's still the males fault.

Well, I mean guys want sex, and I'm sure women do too -- so what is with all the games? Men don't really care much for games.

I think what it comes down to is an utter lack of both sides of the argument to try to understand the other's perspective. Men treat women like how they want to be treated, and women expect men to treat them like how other women would?

I'm not going to grind up on a girl in a club just for "fun" if she's not attractive to me. Usually (and this sounds horrible) men only associate with women that they would sleep with.
