I'm not a psychologist, but here: maybe these dudes are known rapists who haven't been punished by any authorities even if they were reported, and the maker of the list wants to protect other women from predators because the system that you think is so fool-proof didn't work.

I don't pay attention to bathroom graffiti but as a sidenote I do believe that if a student is found responsible for any type of assault their classmates should have a right to know. In our city a college student was forced into a car at gunpoint and he was forced to withdraw money from his atm. If you read the…

No, we're just realistic about the justice system. No one is saying victims *shouldn't* get rape kits done, we're just jaded enough to know that having a rape kit done and calling police does NOT guarantee the rapist will be punished, especially if the rape occurred on a college campus.

I know what habeas corpus is, clearly. I went to school for criminal justice. It's still absolutely irrelevant to this story because none of this is occuring in a courtroom. The accused are not being detained, or indicted, or punished by the court. That's probably a good percentage of why these lists are popping up in…

DING DING. Spot on. I'm interested to know whether the OP is a man or a woman. Not that it matters necessarily, because both men and women can be equally dismissive of victims of sexual assault. But the post comes off as very "DUH why wouldn't you do this, I totes would if I got assaulted, and if you didn't you…

There's so much misunderstanding in your statement I don't even know where to start. First off, saying "a cop will stop people" is not categorically true and in fact, a lot of police won't even treat sexual assault as the serious offense that it is. This seems to be especially true when talking about sexual assaults…

Clearly the people contributing to these lists feel/know that this is the only way to get attention to their assaults. People who want justice don't go immediately to scribbling lists on a wall. Suggestions that these women "just go get a rape kit as proof to bring to the police" are inane and show an astounding…

OMG I can't believe it is SO easy! How has no one else in the world EVER thought of that?!

That's a very helpful list of "tips"! No one has ever thought of those before! Convenient that you're ignoring all the things that discourage people from doing them. I'm not saying putting a list on a bathroom door is the answer, but simply telling people who have been assaulted to do x, y, and z without addressing…

I'm fine with this. They brought their concerns to the university and nobody did anything substantial. So, cool.

Vigilante justice. If I saw a guy's name on that list, I would avoid him if he were interested in me.

I don't think it's really just that people have kids and realize after-the-fact that they hate being parents. In my case, my all-consuming rage at being a new parent came from the fact that I realized I had ZERO help from anyone—that no one was going to come to my home and ask if I had any questions about how to keep…

I always thought that "I don't trust a girl who doesn't WANT any female friends" would be nicer or more accurate. I found it very hard to make friends as a teenager - when I admired a girl I would idolise them to the point of intimidation, really frequently. Desperation and fear are traits that are not conducive to…

There was a hearing, and he was found culpable. Allegedly is not reserved for the conclusion of criminal trials. The act that was alleged was adjudicated by the college tribunal. It's no longer alleged, it's been decided.

But don't white feminists do this same thing when called on their bullshit? I don't understand making fun of someone for doing something that you do yourself.

Please do not blame yourself for your attacks. Women are raped regardless of the amount of alcohol they consume. Rapists tend to use alcohol as a tool to commit the crime. You did nothing wrong.

Where I went to college, if you filed a report with the school and then went on to file with the police, you had violated school policy and they threw the case out.

I don't know about you, but I had at the least 4 to 5 programming projects per class during my undergraduate studies for computer science. This just seems like a bunch of YouTube videos haphazardly thrown together to resemble a curriculum at a university.

Also, I found the electives helped tremendously in the working…

Correct, which is a whole new basket of problems for the police. Two things about an off-campus crimethough:

To be fair, they lost the claim to be treated like "real adults" when their crimes get routed through a permissive "campus police" instead of a real police department. Crimes a poor noncollege kid would go to jail for in any city in the US net a small "disciplinary hearing" and a slap on the wrist. They aren't treated…
