Depends on the programs at the school. If he went in for Cosmetology, for example, it'd be mostly female.

I think the best advice to give him will be, "Get her consent in writing."

Unless he goes to an engineering school like he wants because those nerds never get laid.

If he went into Cosmetology, there wouldn't be much reason for him to worry about whether women consent to sex.

These people, like me, think the "epidemic of rape on campuses" is complete bullshit.

Actually, the researcher showed that one person's theory of serial rapists on campus has no scientific underpinning.

If you read the documents they published, there will still a very significant # of rapes being committed, and 4-7% of men committed at least one crime that could be considered rape.

Does the scientific study determine what the threshold is of what makes it "rape?" Does "Drunken hookup the night before/regret the morning after" = rape, according to them, and go into their numbers?

"Remarks about physical appearance" count as rape in the statistics.

Jennifer Freyd, the researcher, is back with a study little changed since 2014, purporting to find the same number of women as victims. To be clear, the women who took the study aren't necessarily claiming they were ever victims — Freyd and her researchers determined that they were victims based on questions answered. Freyd's only acknowledgement that there might be a flaw to her methodology is that factors like "poor memory" might make the numbers lower than they should be — that is, many women might have forgotten they were assaulted.

There's a reason they call sociology a "soft science."

This isn't just soft science. It's downright flaccid.

Okay, but seriously, the way it is explained here I would call this intentionally fraudulent.

20% of girls at "top" unis report some type of sexual assault.
Twenty-five percent of undergraduate women said they were victims of non-consensual sexual contact through force or in situations when they were incapacitated and unable to consent. Among undergraduate men, the rate was 7 percent.

Ten percent of undergraduate women said they suffered incidents involving non-consensual sexual penetration. Thirty-five percent of students said sexual assault and misconduct is very or extremely problematic at the school.

The survey response rate was 36 percent.

In short, every US college student majors in rape.

Another case saw a male student suspended for a year because he sent multiple Instagram follow requests to a female student and once looked at her on campus.

Sexual harassment at UC.
The president of the University of California system has convened a committee of administrators, faculty and students to look at how complaints against tenured faculty are handled across the 10-campus system.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports Friday that the move comes just days after famed UC Berkeley astronomer Geoffrey Marcy resigned his professorship after an investigation found he sexually harassed several female students. Between 2001 and 2010, he reportedly gave massages and other unwanted attention to at least four female students.

You may remember Janet "I'm the biggest bitch in the world" Napolitano from her tenure as head of the American SS, otherwise known as the TSA.

Keep ringing those alarm bells.

File this under, "plan on sending your WHITE son to college?"

It's a long argument and not snippit-quote worthy.

TLDR is "the American university is dead."

This is what happens when you fill colleges with people who shouldn't be there, but are there because of some bullshit "requirement" for getting a job.
