Wow. Presumably Stanford administrators are highly educated and experienced. “I’m okay” was what they decided to go with?

Denying her a voice is bad enough, ...but why the fuck would you memorialize the location of this horrific event?
“Stanford protects rapists” ought to fit on one line of a plaque!
If they’re going to put up a plaque with a quote, I vote for something like:
And Benjamin Franklin had no problems visiting the Hellfire Club. I dounbt any of them would match up to the “christian” beliefs of modern fundamentalists.
Stanford is as bad as Michigan State or Penn State. These big universities don’t give a shit as long as their sports teams generate revenue and the endowment continues to be funded. Fuck them all.
They are memorializing rape, not honoring the survivor. If they are going to go this route, Brock should weigh in. He’s the expert, afterall.
SHE’S NOT OKAY. EVERYTHING IS NOT OKAY. What kind of paternalistic, anti-female, pathetic bullshit is this? It makes no sense, for one thing: someone entering Stanford in 2030 will have NO IDEA wtf this is supposed to mean.
May the student population of Stanford vandalize that shit daily with the quotes Doe herself wished to be presented.
Stanford alumni can withold donations for this and tell the creeps why.
Administrators protecting an institution at all costs and whitewashing their handling of a horrendous situation? Where, oh where, have we seen this before?
How utterly despicable.
Yikes. What a shit show. I absolutely hate the term virtue signaling but that seems to be what Stanford is doing here by ignoring the victim’s wishes.
10 bucks says she doesn’t even know Jesus was a Jew, so chances of her knowing anything significant about Jefferson are pretty slim.
I hope this shit gets smashed over and over and over again. The school’s attempt to sanitize the situation and turn it into some optimistic bullshit is disgusting. Women don’t need to be memorialized, worshipped, turned into super heroes or pillars of strength they need to not be fucking raped, beaten or killed. Fuck…
It’s traditional for the guy presenting the award to Best Actress to give a hug and a smooch to the winner. Is there any woman among the nominees who wouldn’t give him a crotch to the knee if he tried to get handsy or kissy? Frances McDormand would probably cold-cock him and leave him writhing on the stage.
I’ll be real: Dudes with Boston accents turn my crank. So I’m here to back up Boston (except if you’re sexual abuser and then you get nothing but that has nothing to with Boston).
I’d pay to see Frances McDormand clock him one. It would be glorious
Ah, see now I am obsessed with these antagonists!~ Satan, Lucifer, talking snakes, and wasn’t there a Lillith?
Most of the people I’ve met who are “strict Constitutionalists” can name about 2.5 of the amendments and think that only the 1st ten really count. Typically, their list of amendments are:
