Just curious, would you tell the Rolling Stone reporter, Sabrina Erdely, that she is a liar to her face? You'd look her right in the eye and tell her she's an unethical journalist because it just doesn't "seem right" to you? I mean, I doubt it's the first time she'd be mansplained to by a skeptical male journalist…

I have, with my own ears, heard something similar said to a female rape victim because her rapist was "hot" and "popular". That doesn't make it true, of course. However, it is sadly plausible. (At least in the early 90s) (No, my friend didn't report the rape because she was afraid other people would think the same way…

Because the incident took place several years ago and at timing of this conversation was minutes after an unspeakably traumatic experience, I read these to be not exact, direct quotations, but the "gist" of what the victim remembers her friends saying to her.

Really? And what was your experience when you were raped on campus? Because mine is no different than hundreds of other women. Why do you think girls are carrying their mattresses and having rallies to protest how their campuses handle these things? Because this is the current system, and it doesn't work. Most schools…

This may not make you feel any better, but the Obama administration and Department of Education guidelines now say that no student can serve on a campus sexual assault committee. From now on, students will not have to face the committee you did.

Then you haven't been paying attention. She is not the first victim with this exact same story to come forward: from the disgusting things said by the rapists down to the horrible comments made by friends. If you've never experienced it, you should try to find an ounce of fucking empathy and believe victims. Read…

People in shock remember things weird. She might not have taken, you know, precious notes.

I went to the police when I was raped my freshman year of college. They told me it was out of their jurisdiction and it would have to be handled by campus police and a student hearing. The campus police simply alerted the administrative staff, we had a "hearing" (in which I had to confront my older rapist face to face…

"why didn't she report it?"

The police aren't any better.

If you read the article one of her friends (a man) suggests taking her straight to the hospital right after her rape. Her female friend starts freaking out about "Jackie's" and their reps in the Greek system getting ruined if they report the rape. The female friend convinces the two male friends (they were all…

A rape survivor was told by the campus police on my campus not to report because she had been drinking and so no one would believe her. We are currently under investigation by the DOE as well. Another girl was just raped this semester at a sorority house and it was hushed up. Even by the sorority sisters because they…

Unlike Michael Jackson and Roman Polanski, where I can watch the art they created in a vacuum, that's REALLY hard for Bill Cosby, on the Cosby show, playing the lead character, who is supposed to be a likeable guy. It's MUCH harder to really forget about the horrible allegations while watching his show when he's the…

That sucks for anyone who had nothing to do with his bs.

won't just affect him but also his co-stars, who have been earning syndication residuals for two decades.

Shh you put that reasonableness and compassion away.

Next time anyone questions why people who have been sexually assaulted don't come forward, remember these questions and this apology.

I am trying to imagine any other scenario in which Don Lemon would think this was appropriate or, more importantly, relevant at all.

Why bother apologizing at all if it's going to be a bullshit "sorry you were offended"?

In fairness, his "sorry if I offended anyone!" was personalized with the twist of the Internet trollish, "but I was just asking questions!"
