    I agree.

      I agree that there were some good points in the essay, but the consistent use of "men" and "young men" vs "girls" really stuck out, to me.

        I think he made it sound as though "young men should protect drunk girls" and not PEOPLE SHOULD NOT DRUG AND RAPE OTHER PEOPLE. Positive sentiment, misguided delivery.

          I agree. That is part of what rubs me the wrong way with the article. He means well, but misses the mark.

            I do think he's right on about the culture in which men believe that women owe them something, or are a means to an end -- however, I don't think it's anything new, I think it's just an extension of the patriarchal culture of the pre-1960s. This is just the post-sexual-revolution incarnation of the same old bullshit. The answer is NOT more patriarchy, whether in the form of "chivalry" or anything else. Ooh, waking up my inner feminist on a Monday morning = danger danger.
