Statistically speaking, it probably does happen more but goes unreported. Given the personalities and power dynamics involved, that’s almost certain to be the case.

Some of the brightest and most gifted men I’ve worked with in tech are also some of the most emotionally stunted and misogynistic I’ve ever encountered. I’m actually a bit surprised that stuff like this doesn’t happen more often. A lot of these guys are full-on sociopaths.

Christ...JUST FUCK THE WILLING.

There’s a serious lack of critical thinking in her letter. I can’t spend the time refuting why she’s wrong because I doubt she’d even understand or accept it, but I so wish there were less people like her *and him* in the world. Gross.

I mean, look, OK — I can imagine that it might be shocking and very upsetting if a close friend or family member of yours whom you always thought was a great person was accused of such a thing. You might have a hard time believing it at first, and be in some denial. I guess that’s almost unavoidably human; it’s hard…

I’m no doctor, but I’d advise you not to let yourself get hit in the head on a daily basis the next 15 years. That and lay of the cocaine, HGH, PCP,steroids, and horse tranquilizers.

Does she think rapists spend all their non-rape time kicking puppies and twirling their mustaches while cackling?! I suppose it’s more comforting to believe that evil is always legible.

It sounds like he is surrounded by a bunch of asshole enablers who have always told him he can do no wrong. So shocking that he ended up as a remorseless rapist.

I’m a man who has been blackout drunk many times. Even with serious “clouded judgement” moments there was never a time where I thought “I should have sex with this unconscious girl”. You either have morals or you don’t. He doesn’t.

Does she honestly think it makes a lick of difference to rape survivers if the person who assaulted them was “nice” to other people?!?

What the hell is wrong with every person in convicted rapist, Brock Turner’s life?

“Rape on campuses isn’t always because people are rapists.”

20 Minutes. My rapist took only about 15. That was >40 years ago, and I’ve never forgotten. These rapists think they are blameless. It only took 20 minutes, why is the rest of my life in ruins. BECAUSE THE REST OF MINE IS RUINED. POS

“and that he will “never be his happy go lucky self [sic]” again.”

But she literally got handcuffed for trying to talk over the judge.

It’s like he’s a bad person and his eyes are trying to get away.

He’s in a room full of lawyers. And sometimes you need to talk over that judge, if only to demand your rights as a potential defendant. Moreover, there is almost always an Administrative Judge who oversees the other judges.

I didn't want to go there, but goddamn. This was the first thing I thought of. He's acting like a fucking troll too though, so I don't feel bad.

I am 92% positive these are the same person.
