Add to that the pressure some students feel to transition into adulthood and figure out their own preferences, plans, and goals without disappointing or betraying their parents. College campus counselors (often assisted by faculty and staff) spend a great deal of time assisting students (not all of them introverts) who feel alone in a crowded room, who are away from family and childhood friends, and who feel they have no one to talk to at college. This includes people who want to speak out about their victimization. Many victims are embarrassed over the circumstances and embarrassed because their family trusted them to be away from home and they feel they "messed it up". These are dynamics that exist more on college campuses than in the general population.

And this causes college men to rape??

Again, you are trying to fight a battle that isn't being fought. There are many social issues that are causing alarm on some college campuses but these issues are more prevalent in the general population. This isn't a competition. There can be disturbing trends and problems on college campuses as well as in the general population.

The activists, the media and the politicians are focused on college campus rapes, not general population rapes. Do you see any attempts to pass legislation that affects the general public broadly on rape laws and makes it easier to convict rapists? (Broaden definition of rape, lower standard of proof, affirmative consent)
