Men’s rights speaker claims anti-date-rape talks discourage men from higher education
Article here. Excerpt:
'The next speaker in an ongoing lecture series on men’s issues will be talking about why some young men are disengaged with college and university—something he blames, in part, on the anti-date-rape talks given to freshmen.
...
“Some of the content of these seminars, which are now very common in colleges and universities, set these boys coming in, set them up as being potentially dangerous, and potentially harmful, particularly to women on campus,” he said.
“There are, for example, date-rape seminars that are de rigueur for nearly all first-year student programs.”
Groth questioned whether the date-rape talks are “overkill” and “whether in fact it might not be wiser to talk about this in a broader way, let’s say for example, courtesy between boys and girls on campus, regardless of who’s behaving, males or females.”
A second reason for young men feeling unwelcome is that some courses appear to better reflect young women’s university lives, he said.'

How abt the importance of insisting they pony up for half the cost of shared activities on dates?
avoid the risk
avoid the risk of false date rape accusations from female co-students, attend classes on-line...
