I forgot about that movie. Actually, I think I mentally blocked it because I was way young to have seen it when I did. Holy shit, you've caused the memories of that scene to come back! Damn you!

Like how they went after the hacker who exposed the story harder than the one who got a girl drunk and drove her from house to house.
very friendly correction in case someone wants to find the movie: The Accused.
I'm inclined to disagree that this is a bad idea, for a few reasons. The most pragmatic being that films have to have compelling stories to tell, and this is simply one of them related to this case. And part of the reason it's compelling are the sentences and the individual vs system mythology, which says a tremendous…
CANNOT. HANDLE. THAT. MOVIE. Seriously, that rape scene scarred me forever. So fucking disturbing.
I saw the bar rape scene on TV when I was quite young. I'd never heard my dad swear before or since.
Fair point. On the other hand I can't imagine watching a movie about Steubenville in the style of 12 Years A Slave without my hair going white.
You is kind, you is smart, you is good at coding.
We all know marginalized groups' stories are best told through the voice of the majority that's been oppressing them.
This is such a big deal. For a black woman — a dark-skinned woman — to get a BEAUTY campaign. Very exciting.
Alec Baldwin would die without the attention. He only dislikes it because it shows what an asshat he actually is.
Huh. That's a really good point - I wasn't even thinking about Alex and his antipathy for the paps. What a fucked-up pair they are.
Anyone else getting sick of Hilaria Baldwin and her famewhoring?
Good for you! I'm super aware of kids in public places who seem to be attracting unwanted attention from creeps. Not on my watch, they dont!
"for some reason" ....like perhaps older full grown men are intimidating and freezing is a very well documented reaction to threats?
Yes, I agree. Sometimes when I see young girls in certain settings I keep an eye out for the very same resaon. I will totally chase a man off someone else's kid if I have to.
Agreed. The woman who stayed to act as witness is probably the thing that actually got the molester in trouble. Most prosecutors probably wouldn't even try to charge based on the word of a 12 year old alone, and even if they did, most juries probably wouldn't convict without some additional evidence.

YES! I had a sketch experience when I took the Greyhound up to LA once to visit some old friends. After that, I would always try to find older ladies to sit next to.
