Was it "rape culture", or behavioral choices plus a uncontrolled college environment?

The following is truly an effort to empower, I am truly trying to help based on what I witnessed as a college student.

The liberal-left wants you to feel helpless. It wants you to feel that there is a system out there, lurking and huge and in your way and you need to smash it, but you will never succeed. 

This keeps you in a state of constant tension, ready to spring, ready to riot, though if you are in a higher class of society then it keeps you ready to pounce in an activist fashion. 

Always suspicious, ready to fight.

 

This weltanshaung decidedly does not teach you to preserve good values in a strong family and community  - nope, you are groomed to feel frustrated and hopeless.

 

Let’s take what has become known as “date rape” and “rape culture”.

 

If date rape was really happening because rape culture, or what later became known as “toxic masculinity”, then date rape would be happening to a certain random percentage of women in every strata and subculture of society.

 

But in college, I saw that it was not happening to women who believed in and were proactive in protecting their chastity.

 

I met these women in Middlebury college, 1986. For the first time I saw that there were women who were going to wait until marriage, and this belief they held in their behavior:

 

No late night parties.

 

No drinking alcohol while socializing.

 

No suggestive music or media. Should a song with a suggestive rhythm come on the radio, they switched the station fast.

 

These Christian women and men had a more reserved bearing about them. Some did not even dance.  They would only date lightly, that is, they would not get intimate with a partner.  

 

When I conversed and even debated them, they remained respectful of my personal boundaries. (Disagree with a liberal, you are quickly branded a bigot, repressed, prejudiced, etc.)

 

The liberals scorned them behind their backs. They laughed at their devoted bible study and "sexual repression".

 

And that small group of Christians at Middlebury college, mid 1980’s, proved something liberal culture suppresses - chastity works.

 

For the first time, I saw that there is such thing as "chaste culture".

 

Then I found out that in the 1950's, women Middlebury  students dormed on the right side of the highway that cuts through the campus, men on the left (driving north), 11pm curfew every night with a midnight curfew on weekends, everyone had a roommate and dorm room doors were always open.

 

That was a sort of architectural and social chastity.  It would have been difficult to have an intimate relationship in such a setting.

 

In the 1980's students had private rooms with no roommate, no curfew, no supervision.

 

So it was not “rape culture” everywhere. It was a mini rape culture easily foiled by an opposing chaste-culture.

 

It amounted to personal choices and behavior, a college environment which allowed kids to let loose, combined with a victim mentality suspicious of some lurking looming "system", plus scorn for the chaste and the devout, that promoted rape culture.

 

 And nobody told you that.
