Oh boy, this again.
1. I agree with Heather (I think it was you, and Shelia) that the Dear Abby letters that are printed aren't necessarily "real" but a conglomeration of multiple letters that get edited into one letter. This letter is too pat, too clean, too edited and smacks of anti-Greek sentiment. Would the same letter be as effective it if the party were held in a dorm or off-campus apartment?
2. Let's suppose the letter is true, or at least based on some truth. We still don't know exactly what happened that night. As per the specifics in the letter, I am inclined to call it rape, but would like to know more details.
3. It doesn't matter if the victim is male or female, non-consentual sex is rape. And being drunk often legally negates the ability to give consent. Wearing certain clothing, drinking and making out are not automatic invitations to go further. BOTH genders need to realize this.
4. James, even though there may be more instances of false rape accusations than otherwise thought, personally, I feel there are many many many more instances of true rape that are never reported.
edited for clarification
