I have now read Kathleen Sullivan’s June 20 letter a dozen times and I still cannot understand how abstinence education can prevent rape.
According to my Webster’s Dictionary rape is defined as “sexual intercourse with a woman carried out without her consent and especially by force.”
Unless Project Reality is teaching judo, karate or some other form of physical self-defense, I really don’t understand how “abstinence education teaches youth how not to become victims of rape.”
To be a victim means you have no way to prevent something from happening. Saying “no way,” along with a good kick in the right place, really works much better.
