Re: The Law - 14 years ago
KeithKJerseygirl I don't give a shit how many girls have been "more than willingly double teamed" by members of our local hockey team. What I do give a shit about is how women are made to feel ashamed for participating in these consensual sex acts. By prosecuting the men involved isn't it the law who is telling the girl that she should be ashamed of her actions? She isn't being punisheby Jerseygirl - Hockey
Re: The Law - 14 years ago
WillCMJr For all those chastising the players and automatically defending the girl... The charges indicate that she was more than willing, but they were dumb-asses for not checking her age! I can't tell you how many girls have been more than willingly double teamed by members of our local hockey team. This stuff happens! Ugh. I KNOW!

Re: Clarkson hockey players face sex charges - 14 years ago
ugarteJerseygirl I'm not a criminal lawyer (or any kind of lawyer), but I would think that if you can blow a .08, you're not able to consent. I agree with almost everything you've said in this thread but this is dead wrong. "Too drunk to operate heavy machinery" is not the same as "too drunk to make decisions." It doesn't take a lot of drinking to get a BAC of .08; I'd guesby Jerseygirl - Hockey

Re: Clarkson hockey players face sex charges - 14 years ago
I don't consider it rape, because I had determined at the beginning of the evening that I would sleep with the player. Now here's where I think you lose something on your argument. (I'm no lawyer either) This is bringing in "intent" or some sort of pre-consent. Someone hearing your story could say it was rape. "no, no...it's ok. I told myself I would sleep with him before.&quby Jerseygirl - Hockey
Re: Clarkson hockey players face sex charges - 14 years ago
JerseygirlAs for your second paragraph, I'm going to go ahead and answer as if it's not rhetorical. Here's the short answer summarizing my very complicated feelings: do I believe that a woman (or in this case, a girl) is a victim anytime she agrees to have sex with a guy who turns out to be an asshole? No. BUT, I do know that many, many assholes work very hard to try to make their sex partners feby Jerseygirl - Hockey
Re: Clarkson hockey players face sex charges - 14 years ago
RichHJerseygirl--They perpetuated a culture of female shame, and it was something I often felt I was fighting all by myself. If someone they slept with walked by them in the dining hall, their entire table would stare, point, whisper, etc. as if they were children. At one point when I was being subjected to this, I took a bite of pork teriyaki, chewed it, and opened my mouth at them. That stoppedby Jerseygirl - Hockey
Re: Clarkson hockey players face sex charges - 14 years ago
KeithKJerseygirlI'm not necessarily convinced it's something more than a strict age of consent issue. What disappoints me about your statement is that you default to "oh noes, teh poor menz!" and don't acknowledge that if this crime was perpetrated, even as a strict age of consent issue, there's negative fallout for the victim, too.* If they are convicted of this crime (even if it's a sby Jerseygirl - Hockey
Re: Clarkson hockey players face sex charges - 14 years ago
ugarteJosh '99Jerseygirl--That's the tip of the iceberg. I have more stories. My friends have more stories. And while they don't necessarily include male athletes dragging women off by the hair, they do include coercion, shame, embarrassment, and, if you want to get technical (a drunk woman can't consent to sex), lots o' rape. I don't think any of this is untrue, but it's hardly unique to hockeyby Jerseygirl - Hockey
Re: Clarkson hockey players face sex charges - 14 years ago
DisplacedCornellianJerseygirl if you want to get technical (a drunk woman can't consent to sex), lots o' rape. This has always seemed a bit fuzzy to me. At what point of drinking does the ability to give consent disappear? Clearly, an unconscious individual cannot give consent. But how drunk is too drunk? Can a drunk MAN consent to sex, or has every drunk dude who ever got some been rapedby Jerseygirl - Hockey

Ok, there's a lot here to which I want to respond, and I'm not quite sure where to start. So if I start to go all over the place, forgive me. Assume "allegedly" where appropriate.

While I think it would be awesome to have a major men's sport at a major college coached by a woman, part of me really hopes she doesn't get the job, simply because it would make me incredibly sad and angry to see the inevitable sexism rear its ugly head at my alma mater as people come up with "clever" taunts that revolve around Brown being coached by a woman.
