She suggested a return to puritanical sexual mores as a solution for rape. It's silly, and just downright offensive to hear a person promote their religious values as though this will somehow alleviate the issue of sexual assualt, lol.
You find it offensive that she espouses an old-fashioned sexual morality? Who gives a shit? She suggested that maybe teaching those values would help in situations like these. She did not anywhere say it would solve rape. Why does it seem perfectly okay to wildly misrepresent a person if you don't agree with them?
"Hey, I maybe don't think this particular was sexual assault. She didn't make any effort to leave and he didn't seem to try to stop her from doing so. This situation seems like a gray area."
Guy in the back row, "She said she thinks if a victim doesn't try to leave it isn't rape!"
This has been a non-stop problem in this thread. One reasoned response turns into histrionics. That's not to say some of the arguments on my side of the fence haven't been ludicrous, but those aren't even the ones being picked apart. It's hilarious.

OMFG, not for sexual assault. That would only apply if she thought the situation she was offering her views as a solution for was assault.
