I'm on Day Two of reading through the comments. The most interesting thing I've taken away from this discussion so far is that society puts the burden of rape prevention on women: don't wear that, don't go there, don't drink that, take a self-defense class, carry pepper spray, educate the men around you, etc., etc., etc. There's no burden on men to prevent rape by keeping it in their pants or by assuming that a woman's default setting is no until she says yes.
Grown men should take responsibility for themselves. Women should not have to be the Penis Police.
