If, as Mac Donald says, what we are dealing with is not rape, but “drunken hookups”, then men are every bit as responsible for them as women. If drunken hookups lead to rape, or “rape”, then men’s behaviour needs to change as much, if not more, than women’s.
The difference from the mugger analogy is that all muggers are muggers, but only a few men are rapists. Educating men’s behaviour can change it. Certain types of rape, for example in marriage, are no longer acceptable for civilised men. In the past, and in the Muslim world today, child rape for example would not be seen as rape because Islam allows child “marriage”.
Of course some men would be impervious to any message telling them to be careful about what they drink, that no means no etc. But Mac Donald doesn’t even see any need to try to change them.
“Sluttish” is a word applied only to females. But it shouldn’t be if men act slutty. There isn’t, however, a pejorative word for men’s promiscuity, because it isn’t – by Mac Donald and most posters here -seen as reprehensible.
