??? This way I can focus a full 48 hours of my free time/leisure on the politics of hockey rather than just the 8 I'd have on a regular weekday.
Yeah. I think a big part of it is in the vastly different ways that men and women see sex. For men, it is a prize earned, many have wounded pride because of rejection and feel their manhood is attacked. For women, it is just something that happens. Once they hit puberty they notice they attract attention and they are baptized into the world of sexuality. Such views of sex are embedded in culture. There used to be Ancient Greek civilizations where it was frowned upon and a disgrace if a man had sex before he ever fought in battle. Things have really changed and many men derive their whole ego and manhood on idea of sex. Books can be written on the subject of men vs women and their views on sexuality
I never said they didn’t happen in other facets. I said I think they are more prevalent in the way passed out girls being raped are more common in fraternities. If you don’t think junior hockey culture is different from the average 15-18 year old, then we have to agree to disagree
It absolutely isn’t, it’s a North American culture issue that’s prevalent in all sporting associations
I think there are fundamental differences between junior hockey and the other sports, the small towns, the traveling, the education, the affluence of the parents as just a few. I think a 16 year old hockey player may be a bigger swinging dick in Red Deer than the 4 star high school quarterback in NYC committed to Alabama. Jocks aren’t known for their education, but i especially question the type of education that junior hockey players get. Hockey is expensive and parents will often be more affluent and have more sway in their small town. Small towns don’t have as much going on and a 16 year old can be a bigger celebrity than the baseball player in Miami. A stronger dude bro culture and good ole boy culture seems ingrained in hockey compared to other sports.
Ja Morant of the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies was just suspended for 25 games for shooting a Tik Tok in his car where he flashed a gun for half a second. No charges. Perfectly legal in Tennesse.
Not sure what you are implying here but I am just relaying my experience in situations similar to this.
Another guilty until proven innocent kind of guy! I guess I’m pleading guilty to being on the wrong side, morally and I guess I’m a terrible human being but…the story is far from over! I’m a little confused how this person claims to have been too intoxicated to give consent but seems to know a lot of details?
Your post is why victims generally don't come forward and talk with police after they've been violated.
Waiting for all the facts to come out before deciding is a perfectly reasonable thing to do. Yikes to the bolded though
Duke accuser--Crystal Mangum. Currently in prison for stabbing her live in boyfriend to death
Is this a thing now?
So to be clear, I should teach my kid not to rape but let him know that it's perfectly OK to surround himself with friends who feel right about getting some girl drunk and participating in group sex as long as she says it's kosher
The previous poster's examples are even worse than that. The British court found that calling Depp a domestic abuser was fair comment. For Ghomeshi, the justice went out of his way to point out that the ruling was in no way was an exoneration. Both cases are tremendous examples of why you can't rely on the justice system to reflect the realities of violence against women.
We can all tell what was the seminal event of rape denial enthusiasts because they can’t stop talking about 16 years later.
