  1. I combined “groping” and “rape” for the Chicago/Dartmouth case study but the exact definitions are in the front matter. I believe Rape is defined as penetrative in any form or non consensual oral sex. The reports are dense and not very user friendly, but it’s in there, usually immediately before before the statistics themselves.
  2. Dude, if we all took a break when Sydney took us to task, he’d be talking to himself in here. Keep posting.
  3. Late to the party. Just finished it. I really enjoyed it. I'm not sure I've seen a series with so many easter eggs and in jokes/nerd content. Now I'm ready to go on Dr. Strange.
  4. It was an interesting take on sexual agency ultimately being the only agency women had at that time in history.
  5. I don't know how to better lay out the dangers being more school relative than community oriented then comparing Dartmouth (6700-ish students) in leafy Hanover, NH, and University of Chicago (18K ish students, depending on how you want to count post docs), in south Chicago. All sexual assault in 2018 (the last year of full, regular, pre covid in person school): Dartmouth: 52, 50 on campus, 45 in residential facilities UChicago: 26, 25 on campus, 22 in residential facilities
  6. And again, for the people showing up late: The vast bulk of sexual assault is perpetrated by someone known to the victim: https://www.new-hope.org/perpetrators-of-sexual-violence/ https://www.rainn.org/statistics/perpetrators-sexual-violence https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15520939/
  7. I'm not sure where this obsession with me comes from, but I was responding to another poster's point that this thread was now an all encompassing thread about everything. So, stop using 2019 statistics, it was the covid year and it's just shitty math. Also, your stats don't line up with OSU's federally mandated reporting. If you look at the most recent Clery report for OSU, they had 179 total sexual assaults. But you have to separate out Richard Strauss, which they are required to report, because that's a singular case and obviously not what you and I are talking here. So they actually had 134 cases, of which 100 occurred in the dorms, and 34 occurred on campus, 11 off campus, and 2 on OSU public property. The vast bulk of Rape occurred in OSU housing or in OSU campus buildings. If you account for fondling (again, after removing Strauss): Most of it was on campus, although they appear to have an issue with off campus touching. Texas' Clery numbers are much, much lower, as you pointed out. This is a math way of saying: OSU has a Rape problem. A serious Rape problem and I wouldn't send my child there. But the math predicts, and I would argue in the statistics: that the vast number of assailants are OSU students attacking OSU students. Now, maybe OSU has strangers running rampant through their dorms, but that would mean they haven't adopted campus safety measures that have been pretty standard for decades. There hasn't been a serial rapist on the OSU campus since Billy Milligan, from what I can tell, in recent years. Most schools spend a lot of time and money protecting their students from stranger assault: blue light phones, campus safety walk protocals, dorm key card security and check in desks. What a lot of schools do poorly is protecting their students from other students. Of course it's dangerous to be a woman. Of course they fear for their safety. I at no point argued they didn't and shouldn't. What I have pointed out, repeatedly, is the most dangerous men they meet, are without question, the one's they know.
  8. Taiwan (and China knowing Taiwan is doing this):
  9. As a manlet, who is the father to two manlet’s, I’ve already had the “fighting isn’t going to be your thing” talk. Part of being a small human is learning how to talk your way out of dicey situations with giant aggressive drunk guys. If you are a travel sized human, you intuitively get how much large people dominate personal physical space, intentionally or unintentionally.
  10. I agree with this. I think the size of the budget forced him to tell a more linear tale instead of letting his inner weirdo run wild.
  11. My favorite thing about Steve Schmidt is the assumption that we've all forgotten what a total dumpster fire the McCain campaign was and that he's some sort of venerated Washington greybeard we should take seriously. Go grab a drink with Bob Shrum and Donna Brazile at the Palm, loser.
  12. Honestly, if I had a child that was LGBTQ, I would think long and hard about attending college in the state of Texas. I certainly would dissuade them from say Tulane, or Vanderbilt.
  13. Perhaps I wasn't being clear: The Alito draft brings into question a broad range of assumptions we have all worked with if they aren't specifically mentioned in the Constitution or were understood to be deeply held rights at the time of it's signing. If it goes the way it looks now, States could be banning or empowering all sorts of activity that we usually take for granted when traveling domestically. It will likely look much more like our system for regulating alcohol, which leaves the discretion almost entirely to the states.
  14. From a policy perspective, if the Alito draft holds, it’s clear we are moving to a much more federal system similar to the anti-bellum arrangement. We are likely going to see a wide range of rules and laws with no basic national standard. It’s reasonable to take that into consideration.
  15. You were not the thread bomber. Parent's and prospective students considering the political climate of a college is totally reasonable. My son eliminated a school because he was concerned about the tenor of the accepted students social media. The STRANGER DANGER and some not so subtle undertones about "bad" areas around colleges is what lead me to start a new thread.
  16. Dartmouth has a really bad reputation and has had for a long time. I think part of it is 60-70% of the student body is Greek.
  17. The only thing I have on McCain is my ex used to have to deal with him a lot on environmental stuff. He wasn’t much of a negotiator. Mostly devolving into screaming at staff until other members would step in and tell him to calm down.
  18. My broader point is that while area crime statistics are something you should consider, when it comes to sexual assault, college parties are by far the most dangerous place, from a numbers perspective, than just going about your business of going to and from class.
  19. Well, I was molested by a close family friend when I was 7. The mother of my children was raped by by her best friend’s brother while home during college break. I think I do know what I’m talking about. I’m sorry for your trauma. I wouldn’t wish sexual assault on my worst enemy. If you want to solely determine where your child goes to ELITE COLLEGE (the point of this thread), based on area crime statistics that’s your decision. But it’s a number, just like the acquaintance rape number. Take it over to the other thread.
  20. On another thread, there has been a lot of concern from Surly parents about their kids being sexually assaulted in college and crime demographics of the surrounding community. Here’s your thread to talk it out. As a reminder, 8 out of 10 victims know their assailant. 1 in 10 rape victims is male.
