Your comment made me cry more than the video did. I don’t know why or how, but it did. You just put it into words so well.

Appreciate your intent but........ Its the boys who need the lessons ultimately. Girls are taught and it doesn’t seem to make them any safer. It doesn’t matter if they were drinking. It is never a girls decision to get raped. Just be careful how this sounds.

One New Year’s Eve my husband and I were walking to get a cab and this absolutely obliterated teenage girl started talking to us. She could barely stand and had no shoes on (she was carrying them instead of wearing them, in Chicago in January... although it was an unseasonably warm New Year’s Eve night). She was…

IDK if she invented it, but she kept telling me that I “didn’t know the realities of teen sexuality” because I didn’t have teens, and when I pointed out how fallacious her information was (based on for real statistics and academic information PLUS also basic feminist ideas), she got really angry with me for “not…

That makes me think of Shameless last season: Kev starts hanging around Lip’s college and the girls deem him “The Rape Walker” - a trustworthy guy who gets them back to their dorms safely after a night of partying.

Hometown university, although I didn’t attend there. Apparently their administration doesn’t fuck around when it comes to stuff like this...they’re trying to shirk their party school reputation and churn out some decent citizens. I’m very glad to hear they made this call.

I so agree with you on the point that no one ever expects to be a victim; of anything, really, from assault to accident to losing someone they love. Those are always the horrible things that we think of as happening to other people; it’s really the only way we can stay upright and navigate our lives without being…

I hope so, too. College universities are literal hunting grounds for men who are rapists and it’s time that colleges understand the special danger that accepting a rapist poses to their students.

I went into a rage, as I grew up in the Dayton area, but luckily UD has decided this dick breather will not be attending in the fall.

Oh great. X murdered someone, but X was pretty amazing in the past mate, so we really shouldn’t hold it against him.

“The idea that a parent could actively work to cover up a wrongdoing that their child has done just horrifies me.

That’s really great they’ll be showing it in schools. When I watched the trailer I was wondering if it would be appropriate for high schoolers, and that answers my question!

Thank you! :)

I was just replying to another comment that Netflix has created an activism and education action around this film and it will be shown in schools as part of that.

Netflix has actually created a pretty pretty large budget around this film for activism and education (someone I know is leading their organizing efforts) so while fatigue is understandable, there are those fighting this fight—beyond the cultural contribution of simply documenting this—and this film will be shown in…

The idea that a parent could actively work to cover up a wrongdoing that their child has done just horrifies me. Those boys parents... wow. And the authorities... FUCKING HELL. It’s hard to say what the worst part of these stories are. All the parts are the worst, really.

Details regarding Mr. Becker’s crime in case anyone feels inclined to criticize you for posting this.

We have a 15-year old daughter and a 13-year old son, and I think it’s important that we all watch this together as a family. Boys need to get the message loud and effing clear, and girls, sadly, need to think about how to protect themselves from predators disguised as peers. The knowledge that these rapists take…

I read the article, went to watch the clip and it started with the baby... ALL THE NOPE GIFS. This hurts too much to watch. My heart hurts and my soul is tired. This is not how things should work. This is not how ANY OF THIS SHOULD WORK.

Sadly, this comes on the heels of yet another former high school athlete getting special treatment after he sexually assaulted someone. Ladies of Ohio, beware that this rapist, David Becker, is apparently starting school there in the fall.
