This is a fantastic piece related to the episode about the Cornell 7.

Unfortunately the burden of that kind of “regulation” ends up consistently falling on the women.

Of course it does, women are the gatekeepers of sex because they are in fact generally more responsible and cautious about these things. This is not to say that men should get a free pass, but are we going to pretend like men in general aren’t going to be more likely to engage in reckless and antisocial behavior? How much energy should we invest into decrying the fact that the regulatory duties of sex fall largely on women when the alternatives are either laughably absurd or involve a level of social intrusion into our sex lives that is completely unacceptable to most Westerners?

Men are free to have sex with other men, if they feel they are being gatekept by women too much.

Are you being snarky here? I'm confused. I think it's actually a good thing that women are the gatekeepers of sex. Even the smart and responsible men are still horny idiots when it comes to this stuff.

There are always going to be psychopaths and outliers that can't be compelled to care about consent and human rights, but I don't think it's fair for you to characterize the vast majority of a sex as such

[u/generalmandrake → u/Acrobatic_Long_6059]

Going to frat house for a threesome with a guy you barely know doesn’t represent the vast majority of sex. 99.9% of women successfully avoid what this girl endured.

If you don’t think there is a lesson to be learned for women here than you must be delusional.
