Date Rape

I’ve been recycling at work and throwing out lots of old papers around the office. Some of them are notes for a book including some run off sheets from other books and periodicals. Some of them are on date rape.

Most of the information I already knew. One report, however, made me pay attention when I read that 27% of the 770+ college age men and 18% of the women answered on their survey that in one scenario or another, forcing the woman to have sex against her will was acceptable. Some of the scenarios varied who paid for the date and where they went and where they ended up but the fact that there are some people out there that think that in any, ANY situation, date rape is acceptable, surprised me. I know it happens all the time. I just figured that the people involved knew it was wrong.
