i have not explained this perspective to the boys, in their responsibility. we have talked about making damn sure there is enthusiasm. not just a silence. or a conjoling. or half hearted yes thru pressure. but enthusiasm.

but now, i really want to talk about how drinking allows a guy to not think thru. and his part in it. and it defining him as a rapist.

what i have learned over time, is the rapist is not the scary monster. the rapist can be a perfectly fine boy, that thru alcohol generally, allows what he know to be right, or behavior he would never consider to be ok, to be overlooked at the time of drinking fog. and THAT makes him a rapist.
