@rightofway123:
The government doesn’t want to regulate sex on campus, what the government is doing is trying to make sure that universities are taking sexual assault seriously and among other things, actually take seriously when there are accusations of sexual assault. You make it seem like this is all about young men being falsely accused, when the reality is that young women (and men) are being sexully assaulted and for a lot of factors they may not be dealt with seriously (meaning the school)

Sorry, but Jameis Winston and others at Florida State (as one example) were not innocent young men, Florida State just settled a lawsuit for 900 grand to the person Winston assaulted, because they didn’t even bother to seriously investigate it (not to mention that the cops in Talahassee, being big football fans, do everything they can to cover up crimes by the athletes) and the same has been especially true with athletes when it comes to sexual assault complaints, this is nothing new.

What schools are trying to do is not regulate sex, but rather they are trying to find a way that if kids are having sex, it is consensual. Personally, I would hope that kids have enough common sense to understand consensuality, but when you mix young kids, with alchohol and/or drugs, it often ends up with a very gray line. I am not saying there aren’t cases where it becomes a they said/they said kind of thing, but what the schools are trying to do is (hopefully) make clear what is and isn’t sexual assault. FWIW, I think some of these cases are very nebulous, and the benefit of the doubt should go to the accused, but I also think that especially a lot of young men don’t understand no means no, especially where alchohol and such is involved, and I also think that a lot of school administrators either want to ignore the issue, or have a “boys will be boys” kind of attitude towards it, still.

I have heard the same arguments used about rape off campus,that the cops have become the morality police trying to regulate sex because the definitions of rape have broadened, I heard people say it about the mutants in Ohio who sexually abused a drunk girl and they blamed her for what the boys did.
