One of the Many Joyes of a Convent education. Using tampons apparently means you're not a virgin anymore! OH NOES!!! and thus only for After Marriage (how they didn't realise half the 6th form were already on teh pill, i'm not sure).
Date rape IS a gnarly one and not one I'd normally touch on lj, but the view in that article that it wasn't rape because he didn't beat her up just infuriated me. I think the key words in your comment there are 'concious and capable'. Which is a bit different from taking a woman home after she's *passed out* in the resturant toilet and THEN having sex.
Which is why I think it's important to start impressing on guys the message of 'Don't have Sex if it's not clear' and that 'Come into my house' does NOT mean 'come into my body', rather than impressing on women that they shouldn't drink, wear short skirts, go out after dark, go out alone, talk to strange men...
