Outline

Claire, i think that this is an excellent idea, and, as i mentioned to you before, it is very close to how i was originally going to frame my topic. I've since broadened my topic so as to create less overlap. But, i'm thinking i'll link your topic to mine, because it's a good example of the analysis that i think should occur more often wherever there are gender biases in the law. You get at the heart of the problem, and think outside of the box to create a solution. All in all, very good idead.

Unfortunately, and it is with great dismay that i say this, i have to at least partially agree with gradman. If you concede that the root of the problem is in socialized gender miscommunications which play a role in how both genders communicate in the bedroom, i hardly see it as fair to penalize one gender for a mistake both contribute to. I'm not sure i see any better way to do it (maybe better sex ed in HS dealing with issues like this), but it seems like blaming the individual for a mistake created by the group, if not society as a whole.

I don't know. I like the analysis. I just don't know how well tailored to the problem the solution really is.
