It's come to a point where my male friends have to check IDs to make sure she's telling the truth that she's over 18 [especially for freshmen], make sure she has consumed not a drop of alcohol, AND make sure that she won't regret it tomorrow. That's a burden, considering all those are things that SHE should control. I'm tired of hearing stories of men accused of "gray rape"; "I invited him into my room, we were making out and ended up having sex. I totally regret it! He raped me!" We shouldn't just assume that everyone who claims they were raped was, indeed, raped.
This stuff actually happens. And it's ridiculous. A false claim of rape, even if he's not convicted, can ruin a man's life. Ladies: would you REALLY trust someone if you found out that he'd been accused of rape, even if he had been proven innocent? I wouldn't.

hear mother freakin hear!!!
we JUST had a situation on my campus where this girl got really drunk at a bar, went back with some friends to a guy's apartment, drank some more, said she wanted to stay when her friends were leaving, and then had sex with one of the guys who owned the apartment. the next morning the girl claimed rape. now, let's see where she slipped up first...was it going to someone's apartment that she didn't know when she was already drunk? was it when she KEPT drinking even though she admittedly was already very intoxicated? or how about when she didn't leave the apartment when the rest of her friends did? come on people, that's not rape, especially when the guy was very drunk as well. it really upsets me that this young guy (who i had known in the residence halls and was really a nice guy from what i saw) is going to be branded as a rapist for the rest of his life. the charges have since been dropped but everyone on campus now knows him as "that guy who raped that girl".
