Shouldn't the song entry appear as a separate entry from the act? -JeebusSez 15:06, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] statistics

I took out the statistics and the links to the statistics. Figures like those are notoriously inaccurate and any statistics on this page should come from sources where we can verify their methodology such as links to academic papers. It is especially important in statistics like this to know how the various terms, like "rape" and "consent" are defined. I also think at that any statistics that are added should reflect the male experience as much as possible. Qvkfgmjqy 19:59, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] biased article

This is an incredibly biased article as written. I am new to editing wikis and actually created an account to comment on this because I find it *so* offensive. In the US, Canada, and most of Europe, most people believe and the legal system recognizes that sex while either person is too intoxicated to give consent is rape, and that wearing revealing clothing does not imply consent. This article makes it sound like there actually is a debate on this and that the existence of date rape is actually controvesial. It's offensive and misogynist. At a minimum it should be flagged as controversial - I'm afraid I don't know how to do that. User: madscientistgirl 20:33 30 Nov 2007 EST

Also I'm really not sure why the bulk of the discussion is actually under "Social Issue." That's a large part of why this is biased. The subheading seems totally out of place. Date rape is not a "social issue" - it is a crime. This also makes it sound like there is ambiguity in the definition of rape. Rape is non-consensual sex or sex by a person unable to consent, perhaps because of age or intoxication. People can argue about facts - whether consent was given - but the definition is pretty straight forward. madscientistgirl 21:57 30 Nov 07
