Date rape and abstinence

March 22nd 2007 23:16
Weirdest line from a story:

"[Harvard abstinence club] True Love Revolution members say the problem starts with the university. They say Harvard has implicitly led students to believe that having sex at college is a foregone conclusion by requiring incoming freshman to attend a seminar on date-rape that does not mention abstinence..."

Well, a seminar on contraception that doesn't mention abstinence might be debatable, but...um...isn't rape a situation where abstinence really isn't an option? Then again, that's paraphrased, not a quote from a group member, so maybe there was a miscommunication.

Sorry, what line did Harvard cross? From the post, it seems that they only required a seminar on date rape to be attended... is that a bad thing?

Mentioning abstinence in a date-rape seminar would be totally jarring, though. What could they say 'We suggest that you try NOT getting raped'?
