If the problem is so bad, perhaps segregate education, no ? colleges are clearly high risk areas for women due to the high number of male students i.e. potential rapists. Should we be pushing for segregated colleges and universities ? actually the number of male students in colleges is dropping all the time - maybe in 10 years or so there wont be hardly any men in colleges anyway.. still though, in the meantime women are being raped in huge numbers.. why isn't anybody doing anything ? actually the number of male students in colleges is dropping all the time - maybe in 10 years or so there wont be hardly any men in colleges anyway.. still though, in the meantime women are being raped in huge numbers.. why isn't anybody doing anything ? yes, shoot the male students - good idea ! yes, shoot the male students - good idea ! segregate colleges and universities

Well, since the numbers of male in universities has been dropping, feminists have been celebrating. For every four men that are discouraged from going to college, that's one less woman who will be raped.

- No we should be pushing for conceal carry on campus
- Segregate? We need diversity! And colleges need men to demonize.

A more politically correct solution is to establish some female-only institutions, and some mixed ones.
- It's sexist to be scared of someone just because of their gender. Reminds me of this Advert actually: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yVMik5Mfwk
Anyway, to hell with stereotypes - sometimes I go into the male bathrooms because the females ones are always clogged up ~ and I've never been raped in there. - The typical rape occurs via friends or friend of friends. This usually happens at a house party or a night out drinking or doing drugs during camp or spring break. I believe most people when they hear the word "rape" they picture a boogy man awaiting for his next random victim in a dark alley and pouncing on her with a drug while she struggles and fights for dear life and then leaving her left out in the cold. This is below 2% of all rapes. It's just so rare. In the majority of the rape cases, the victim "knows" their predator and the actual process is light with very little struggle and fight, with either the victim under influence or too afraid to say no. Over 90% of rapes are non-violent and with acquaintances. Therefore, teenage girls will never be afraid of teenage boys. Rape is unwanted but it is not like a person coming up to you with a knife and mask like most movies make it out to be. It's usually little teenage boys and teenage girls doing their typical mischief.
- Much of the hostility towards women at schools like Amherst College (with its "rape problem" that made national media) comes from SOME male students who resent the school having gone co-ed (and now being 54% female). I'm sure they wouldn't mind a return to the "boys club" days. (But what about those male students who aren't like that?)
Concerned female college applicants still have a wide array of women's colleges to choose from. Men aren't totally without options either, since there are three nonreligious men's colleges still out there.
I, for one, wouldn't shed a tear if Amherst went back to being single-sex.
@TGB: If 1 in 4 women are raped, that doesn't mean 1 in 4 men are rapists. Most rapists are repeat offenders. - It's difficult to compare the rate of campus rates to the rates of rape in society, because they use slightly different measures. In most of society it is the filing of police report that a crime was committed. Filing a false police report is a crime, so there is at least some filtering as to the likeness it's probably true.
On college campuses, it often means it was somehow reported to campus security. This can happen in a number of ways, but does not mean someone is going to the point of stating to authorities that a crime happened. For this reason, hearsay on campuses may end up being reported as a crime, that would never be reported in crime statistics in society overall.
For this reason, college crime statistics often appear proportionally higher compared to most of society than they really are.
Different reported rates are often due to a difference in measurement, and not due to a difference in actual changes. This is also the problem with some of the rape "statistics" that show greatly inflated rates of rape. They use questions that measure incidents of rape in ways that most people would never define rape as. When comparing rates between two different venues, one must take care to be sure the measurements are comparable.
