I don’t know that it involves rape, necessarily. From what I’ve read it sounds more like prison where horny men just make do. Eton and other boarding schools are where these kids live for many years.
Well yes, that's the whole point. In practice "make do" sex is all-too-likely to translate into abuse, driven by a mixture of sheer frustration (due to lack of the sought-after kind of sex partners) and a widespread culture based on physical domination within some toxic hierarchy of perceived masculinity. This is true both in prisons and elsewhere, e.g. in more general gender-segregated conditions as are common in some underdeveloped countries.
If make do sex translates to abuse then hook up culture is abuse culture.
Honestly, considering the criminal nature of rape, I thought people would be more careful throwing that word around but at this rate, if make do sex is rape, then of what use is the word rape, its become just another word for unsatisfying sex.
The whole concept of boarding school is strange really, I can't image that the products of it are healthy & balanced.. Being away from your family for so long so young can't be a good thing, I would have thought.
Having known a a few people who went through it then direct to Oxfridge, all it seems to lead into is a very preconceived notion that you’re smarter than other people because you went to “this school”. In fact I’ve found myself adding context and debating the opinions of some friends who clearly believe that because they went to Oxford/Eton they know everything there is to know about X. Actually they seem over intellectualised individuals, and not particularly smarter than the average pop just more well informed (there is a difference, they don’t necessarily have the critical thinking and creative expression of ie a Boston comedian). Proof of this is that Etonites aren’t in front of London startups innovating, they’re just funding them most of the time.
They all know each other as well and it’s a bit of a “blob” in terms of opinions. You hear from them the Telegraph or The Times type of opinions.
