The empowerment of women lies not in the protection of females from date rape, but in resocializing both sexes to share date initiative taking and date paying so that both date rape and date fraud are minimized. We cannot end date rape by calling men wimps when they don't initiate quickly enough, rapists when they do it too quickly, and jerks when they do it badly. If we increase the performance pressure only for men, we will reinforce men's need to objectify women – which will lead to more rape. Men will be our rapists as long as men are our initiators.… Laws on date rape create a climate of date hate.
