More On What Constitutes Rape

Submitted by Thomas on Tue, 2003-01-14 05:02

Kathleen Parker has written an essay, published in the Orlando Sentinel, on the 17-year-old boy who was convicted of rape for not stopping consensual sex when the girl said, "I should be going now" and "I need to go home." Unfortunately, Parker asks "Where's Daddy? Who didn't teach this girl the rules of engagement?" while not asking "Where's Mommy?" I guess women/mothers can't be held liable the way men/fathers can. Besides, maybe dad was driven out of the home as a result of a false accusation by the mother.

On the whole, it's a good article, though. I've called to thank her. You can write to her here.Source: Orlando Sentinal
