Speaker: We’ve Taught Men To Rape

The problem with sexual assaults on college campuses is most people don’t realize when they are actually taking place. That is the argument Dr. Keith Edwards, a national speaker on diversity, social justice and college men’s issues, and founder the prevention organization Men Ending Rape, made at a presentation Tuesday night at the University of Idaho during the UI Campus Safety Week. “The problem is the miseducation of hook-ups and sexual encounters,” he said. “We have literally taught men how to rape people and not call it that.” According to statistics referenced in his presentation, 1 in 4 college women report surviving rape or attempted rape, and 84 percent of those women knew their attacker personally/ Samantha Malott , Moscow-Pullman Daily News.

Question: Do you agree with the speaker’s premises — that our culture has taught men to rape and not call it that?
