Date rape can happen in homosexual relationships as well as heterosexual ones. Although it is less frequent, men can also be the victim of rape. It is still a crime and the victim still needs to get medical attention and counseling as soon as possible.
Date rape should not be a lower offence, rape is rape, whether you are on a date with someone or you are attacked, when a person says no it should be honored, it doesn’t matter if you are a woman or a man. Rape is about control more than it is about sex. no one has the right to force you into sex without your permission.
Date rape is a newer term used to describe a method involved in some rape cases. Date rape is so named because the victim and the offender often know each other and are dating or on a date together for the first time. This is different from other types of rape wherein the victim and the offender are complete strangers. Date rape tends to be more orchestrated and planned out by the offender, who may create conditions wherein the victim may become susceptible to rape.
Date rape drugs are most commonly used to sexually assault a person. The drugs often have no color, smell, or taste and are easily added to drinks without the victim’s knowledge. These drugs usually cause a person to become helpless they can hardly move and are not able to protect themselves from being hurt. People who have been given date rape drugs say they felt paralyzed or couldn’t see well, and had black-outs, problems talking, confusion, and dizziness. Date rape drugs can even cause death.
Date rape is still rape! Statistically rape victims often know their assailant; what does it matter if they went out to dinner first? If the sex is not consensual it is rape the circumstances do not matter, No means No! If date rape is lowered to a lower offense then child molestation will follow. After all most children who are molested(or worse)get molested by a member of their own family or someone close to the family.
Binge drinking and sexual assault, especially one in which victim blaming plays a significant role, share a common root: puritanism. The same culture that teaches that sex is shameful, dangerous and illicit is the one that significantly increases the likelihood of alcohol abuse.
The point is, that in sexual assault and rape cases it is friends who victimize the person, not random strangers; and that people in the community all too often side with the abuser/rapist. Men do not just randomly start raping women. They test the waters first with inappropriate touching and talking, playing along the edge of what is appropriate. We need the 90-95% of men who are not rapists to back up women when we tell them that their friends are being creepy and threatening.
A 2009 study of campus sexual assault found that by the time they are seniors, many college men will become rapists, overwhelmingly of a fellow classmate. Very few will ever be reported to authorities. The same study states that more than 80 percent of campus sexual assaults involve alcohol. Frequently both the man and the woman have been drinking. The men tend to use the drinking to justify their behavior, as this survey of research on alcohol-related campus sexual assault by Antonia Abbey, professor of psychology at Wayne State University, illustrates, while for many of the women, having been drunk becomes a source of guilt and shame.
Drug-facilitated sexual assault is not predictable. However, there are lists of safety tips that have been widely distributed to help potential victims keep themselves and their friends safe.
Sexual Assault/Physical Violence/Stalking:
1 in 3 American women will be sexually abused during their lifetime. (George Mason University, Worldwide Sexual Assault Statistics, 2005) Every 2 minutes someone somewhere in America is sexually violated. (RAINN: Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network) College age women are 4 times more likely to be victims of sexual assault. (RAINN: Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network). On average, 24 people per minute are victims of rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in the United States, based on a survey conducted in 2010. Over the course of a year, that equals more than 12 million women and men. Those numbers only tell part of the story, more than 1 million women are raped in a year and over 6 million women and men are victims of stalking in a year.
