In what setting would a rape most likely occur in a university that did not involve alchol?

I don´t like Kasich but people are trying to make a problem out of his well intentioned comment.

What exactly is pleny of them? I always assumed that rape cases that take place in university most likely involved alcohol, but apparently I am wrong for assuming such a stereotype so I am asking you what setting then.

well tbh i don't know what a trump presidency will look like so i can't say if he's going to be just as bad as trump. does trump really mean to introduce things into policy like building that wall, banning muslims from entering, etc? or is that just rhetoric he is using to rally up his racist, xenophobic base and playing them like a fiddle? idk and tbh he will never be president. you don't get elected with a 70%+ unfavourably rating with women ( ... )

thank you for this comment, this is exactly how i feel. i'm still forever bitter about senate bill 5 and i'm surprised it hasn't come up more during his candidacy.
