Don't worry, though, there's no such thing as rape culture, and women should feel totally flattered and not at all threatened when men hit on them.
What a tragic thing to have happened. I hope her family can mourn and find peace.
Yeah. I was 16 at the time, but I was always the youngest in my grade, so I assume the other sisters were 17, but I doubt any of us were 18 yet. It's "understood" that this is what happens in sororities. You obviously need coke to have the energy for meetings and events on top of school and homework. It's a chance for…

A GROWN WOMAN offered HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS cocaine??? And you were pressured to rub your breasts on car windows for men to oogle at HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS?
Sounds like fun! That gif seriously looks like someone made a film of Witches Abroad (my favorite discworld book).
The good news is that now this type of behavior gets the fraternity chapter revoked. When I was in college, that "No means yes" sign would have gotten a wink and a nod from the administration.
As a former student at Texas Tech...I'm only surprised something like this hasn't been in the news sooner. Most racist-steeped-in-patriarchy place I have ever lived where the Greek system fits every stereotype. But its a dry county so they are holy! Couldn't leave soon enough.
I joined a high school sorority (it's a thing down here in the South) and left within two weeks. The first event was a tea party, which sounds innocuous, except for the fact that a sister's mother showed up to provide everyone with cocaine. The second event was a bikini car wash, where you were required to wear a…
There are a lot of vulnerable elderly people in America, and they are favorite targets of scammers. One popular…
Did you miss where I said that it was not clear they were leaked? And where I said that, upon the realization of what I had done, I did feel ashamed? Here is the purpose of my comment, because it clearly whizzed by you: WE SHOULD FEEL BADLY WHEN WE REALIZE WE HAVE DONE HARM. THAT BAD FEELING SHOULD MAKE US CHANGE OUR…
This is not the most important part of the story, but it struck me:
She never once said 'sexual assault'. She did say 'sex crime, sexual violation, sexually exploited and sexual offense'.
This. Another example- here in MO, a woman can walk around topless. The 'girls' can just hang out. However, there can be no sexual connotation to their freedom. Topless sunbathing in your front yard- fine. Dancing topless around a pole in your front yard (particularly in Lucite stilettos)- illegal. It's not…
The intention of the theft was to profit on the sale of images of a woman's naked body without her consent. The intent, the mens rea, is driven by the sale of sexual pleasure. The intention behind crimes matters - a lot - enough that we criminalize certain acts when they are done with different intentions. For…
It's my body, and it should be my choice [...] I didn't tell you that you could look at my naked body.
Great statement and I'm glad she decided not to apologize or say anything other than what she said here.
"In the piece, Lawrence said she considered releasing a statement, some sort of apology, when she found out about the photos getting out, but realized "I don't have anything to say I'm sorry for. I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years. It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to…
Not to be annoying. TOO LATE cew-smoke!! toooo laaaate.
