 This is a really interesting piece. This may not be the point of your paper but I got left wondering what the gender stereotypes are which lead to acquaintance rape. I don't know if you have the space or the inclination to deal with that. It could be a whole other paper though. Very interesting to read. I wonder what the male perspective on this reform would be. Maybe it's Femi's reaction that one gender should not be penalized for the miscommunication. Should women undergo some sort of therapy so withdrawn consent does not reoccur? Just an idea.

>		Feminine timidity regarding sex isn't an inherent aspect of women that society should intervene and correct. This timidity, to the extent that it does exist, is the result of the objectification of women in society as possessions to be won. (Malfeasance versus nonfeasance). Acquaintance rape sounds like the symptom of larger gender problems in society. (Woman being prized for their sexuality and modesty (contradiction,.. right? maybe not.) while Men are prized for their conquests.

Hmmmm... heres a thought... if you could index Countries attitudes toward Sex, or rather openness, would that have an indirect relationship with acquaintance rape? Just a thought for a future empirical study. Overall, I really enjoyed your paper... I didn't have any academic (or otherwise!) experience with the subject.
