The college class on avoiding rape. Please move on, nothing to see here.

61. Why so tense?

I've rarely had any of my posts misconstrued this badly. I usually try to be clear, however, perhaps I wasn't. I'll attempt further clarification.

Firstly, I am not claiming to tell anyone how to express themselves. Nor am I claiming to be superior.

Secondly, I don't think I require any specific "expertise" to comment on what I perceive to be as a disconnect between those actively arguing this point. My clarification was to Tsiyu who seems to be a bit boggled as to what people were not "getting" in this exchange.

And which "experts" disagree with me that people on message boards often misunderstand each other, leading to arguments? I wasn't even aware there were experts on this phenomenon.

We are arguing about nothing here. It is precisely correct to educate students entering college on how to be safe in their new environment and would be expected regardless of the crimes in question. That should be offensive to no one. That it is to some is where the mind boggles.
