One of the things I’ve noticed about the young women in my university is how safe they feel on campus. We were reading an essay that ended in a discussion of date rape without actually using the word “rape,” and I asked the students what the end of the article was talking about. It took these college kids ten minutes of trying to read between the lines before one of them timidly suggested that the end of the essay was about date rape, because it’s just not something Nanjing University students worry about. There’s no jock culture, frat houses, or alcohol on campus, the dorms are single sex, and the male students were raised to be good students, not big men on campus.

Take from that whatever lesson you like.
