You mean it's not a joke? That's depressing.
Seems to be very real.

Aren't they infantilising though? I think debilitating flashbacks are at the extreme end of the spectrum and, while many will develop some type of PTSD over their lives it's usually minor and so should be dealt with through (slow if necessary) acclimatisation to the stressing object rather than absolute avoidance.
Really? Hasn't anyone ever started on you? I'm white, cis-male, middle class and straight and have felt (and been) unsafe plenty of timesBut I've never really felt unsafe my whole life (white, cis-male, middle class, straight)

... not recently mind - these days I'm too old to be perceived as a threat/rival by young bucks, and not old enough to be obviously weak
(edit: and too shabby-looking to be worth mugging)

Whoa! I've been out-privileged!I'm 6'4" and 200+ lbs. I have never had a problem going anywhere.
Are you starting?Ever been in a real fight?

I have a suspicion that we are going to look back in 20 years at this campus rape thing and see it as a bizarre outbreak of mass hysteria.
Isn't this sort of stuff (the idea of rape culture) to do with the increased reportage of such issues? 20 years ago we likely would not have heard of many of these cases whereas in todays world we can find plenty of information to support/reinforce a given view.
More people feeling confident enough to report sexual assault is surely a good thing?
And hasn't the culture for men changed with complete access to every type of pornography for everyone over 12?
It seems that the problem is real and severe, whatever the causes.
As far as I can see that would only be because it's being constantly questioned and called out.Oh there's no denying that, it's just if there is a 'rape culture' it's in decline rather than increasing.
I really have no good information on which way the numbers are headed.
I'd be more concerned/interested that there seems to be a general pushback and closing ranks at institutions when the problem is highlighted.
And a widespread cultural/media desire to debunk rather than engage with something that affects a lot of people.
