Rape Vs. Regret: Here's the difference
okay so is it rape or is it regret my. name is cenace Owens and you are. watching my Vlog series The Myth of the. [ __ ] so a 20-year-old young man walks. into a college bar with his friends and. a 19-year-old young lady walks into a. college bar with her friends a bunch of. drinking is involved and the two of them. begin a discussion fast forward to the. end where the two of them end up at her. dorm and you can pretty much guess what. happens next unfortunately the next.
morning this woman does not recall the. events and immediately reports her. sexual assault if this sounds like a. nightmare to you it absolutely was. except not for the woman I'm talking. about the absolutely real story of Arman. premji a student at USC who was expelled. after these sexual assault claims months. later and after an investigation where. camera showed that the woman was the. aggressor the entire night the woman. coaxed him out of the bar and the woman. signed him in in to her dorm Prem was.
cleared of all charges the judge threw. away the case however the school did not. his expulsion still stands until USC can. conduct its own investigation ah too. drunk to consent I mean this has got to. be one of my favorite topics to talk. about cuz what does it even mean does it. mean that you are too drunk to remember. well do you remember your high school. health class where you learned that. drinking alcohol one of the effects is. that it can sometimes affect your memory.
I me what kind of excuse is it that I. did a drug and the effects of it are. working just imagine trying to apply. that excuse in any other scenario Miss. Owens the charges being brought against. you are driving Under the Influence how. do you plead well your honor I'm glad. you asked because uh I was too drunk to. remember in fact I was too drunk to give. consent to driving my vehicle in fact. I'd like to sue Toyota for even allowing. me to drive my vehicle while I was drunk. Miss Owens the charges being brought.
against you are breaking and entering. and attempted murder at a gas station. how do you plead I was high on PCP too. high to give consent your honor. absolutely out of my mind news flash. America drinking excessive amounts of. alcohol can lead you to do some things. that you regret when I was in college we. referred to that period as blacking out. that sometimes led to 4,000 calories. being eaten in one sitting at 3:00 in. the morning I didn't wake up and file a. police report against Domino's Pizza in. my right mind would I have consented to.
all of those calories and their. disgusting Pizza absolutely not but I. did give them my credit card in all. sincerity the problem with this idea of. being too drunk to consent is that it. completely strips women of having any. responsibility when it comes to going. out or drinking or partying it basically. puts the entire burden on men which is. completely unfair women are allowed to. go out and they're allowed to get drunk. at bars and men better stay sober or. bring a breathalyzer with them because I. literally no woman who were popping bars.
of Xanax before they even got to the bar. when I was in college how are Men. supposed to know that how are Men. supposed to know that women are. purposely blacking out before they even. go to the bar it is completely unfair. and it has gotten out of control what. I'm looking for is for these voices like. Lena Dunham and all of these people who. were so angry about the Brock Turner. case to step up to the plate and be. equally as outraged over this Arman. premi case because the truth is this is.
the culture that they have created a. culture that states that if a woman is. drunk anything she does after the point. of being drunk gets wiped clean it. scares me it honestly scares me as. someone who may one day give birth to. his son the society that we are creating. that puts so much stress and pressure on. men is not a society that I would want. my boys to be raised in rape to me when. I was growing up was learning about. being date raped and someone s something.
into your drink rape to me is the idea. of a man dragging a woman who is. incapacitated perhaps because she wasn't. drinking back to his dorm and taking. advantage of her when she can't even. walk or she is sleeping rape to me does. not mean a woman getting drunk waking up. the next morning and regretting having. sex with someone unfortunately when you. drink you do make bad decisions and at. the end of the day the only person. responsible for those bad decisions are. you shame and embarrassment and regret.
are teachers that's the way that we edit. ourselves it's waking up in the morning. and saying hey I looked really stupid. last night or hey I really regret saying. that or I really regret sending that. text message last night and I don't want. to ever do something like that again so. maybe I won't drink as much tonight or I. won't drink at all by telling women that. if they feel any shame or embarrassment. they need to file a police. report it's. absolutely appalling I'm sure that some.
people watching this video might refer. to what I am saying as victim blaming. nope it is actually extracting the word. victim from the equation Al together. it's about teaching young women about. responsibility and how to conduct. themselves in public and once and for. all about the very obvious side effects. of alcohol thank you guys for watching.
