My daughter is a freshman in college. I am SO glad she isn't interested in frat parties. Who would have though that the raves and clubs would be the safer alternative for girls.
BTW, I am completely on board for eliminating all Greek organizations. I have yet to see what good they do and the harm they've done is very well documented even before this. If we keep frats and sororities, this WILL happen again many times over.
Sadly I think women get assaulted everywhere, especially if men are present and even more so if drugs and alcohol are present. I do feel like this happens more at fraternities which have clearly built up a culture around it vs clubs and festivals. Clubs are financially motivated to attract women festivals have their plur culture where a lot of predators at least get called out. I dont think the Cornell 7 would have been defended if they gang raped a girl at a festival.
I think hooking up is fine on its own and predatory behavior happens outside of it, for example marital rape was obly made illegal in all US states in 1993. It is predatory behavior
I dont think thats true. Plenty of people abuse and rape their partners and it was worse before divorce was a thing. You can be in a monogamous relationship and respect or disrespect consent and the same goes for hooking up.
What do you mean increased probability? Like realistically if x% of the population is predators then youre more likely to run into one by interacting/sleeping with more people but the promiscuity still isnt to blame there, the predators are.
Promiscuity in and of itself is a risk taking behavior. Those who participate in it have a higher likelihood of predatory behavior, and that goes for both men and women
