Scotland: Woman successfully sues alleged rapists after judge rules that "through an excessive intake of alcohol... (she) was incapable of giving meaningful consent."

There is no culture on the planet that doesn't have some history of men taking advantage of and controlling women for the purposes of sex. Rape goes back as far as humans do, and it's always men perpetrating it. I'm a man, and that's the mask I have to wear. If I hold my 11 year old daughter's hand while I walk her to school, people give me odd looks (i'm a single dad)

We want to act like society has matured enough that we've moved past this, but we haven't. If you look at many third world countries... rape is horrifically rampant. In many middle eastern countries, rape is more or less sanctioned, and women are buried under a veil. Women are married off at the age of 10, and lets be honest... it's about sex just as much as it's about honor or some other bullshit.

You think that this doesn't exist on some level just because you live in a modern society or first world country? Go sit in any lunchroom on a construction site, go work in the oil industry, go work in any industry with a group of men and see how long it is before you hear some dude tell you how they want to bang whatever girl walks by. This is how far too many men think. You might think it's harmless... but it's only harmless until it isn't.
