Let's count the number of things that have been blamed for causing violence:

Oh for fuck's sake.

You are very generous, magnanimous and courageous. You have singlehandedly fought Achilles at the gate of our city. Your noble father, cursed be the Fates, will beg the Greek to return your body so it can be buried with honor. You will forever be in our hearts, minds, and the great blind poet will sing about you for…

I live in Seattle, which is a pretty small big city. The Cafe Racer shooting was a big shock, and I think people here are incredibly grateful to him for having the cohones to stop the shooter, who would surely have wounded or killed more people. I think it's shitty that you guys are going after the people who are…

The worst part is the phrase "still not prostitutes." STILL.

Yeah, can you imagine the angst as you sip fruity cocktails under your palapa, softly caressed by the sultry ocean breeze? What if you have to get a 2-hour couples massage? Quelle horreur!

It's completely logical. Being rape means you are a whore. Everyone knows if you were raped it is because you asked for it.

Iran is a strange country, even by Middle Eastern standards. It is a highly educated nation (8th listed country for books published) and cultured (quite an accomplished roster of film makers), but it has a big block of extremists messing things up.

Whoa... their false accusation is that she got raped and therefore is an untrustworthy "whore"? Every time I think I'm too jaded to be shocked by things people say in Iran, man, they get me. Every damn time.

I think she was more making fun of the attorney. I'm an attorney and it is completely fucking bizarre to me that an attorney would make a statement like that on facebook, of all places. Maybe it's because I mostly rep large corporations, but I assume I'd get dropped like a hot potato by several clients for pulling…

This happened several times when I went to high school and when my sister and older cousins went to school. Sometimes there were Polaroids but mostly no photographic evidence and no rape language, just gossip that "X took on the whole football team" and such. I think many people then genuinely considered "pulling a…

"there was not all this rape." Yeah, there was.

Class of '87 here, and I think it absolutely happened back then, we just didn't call it rape then. Dumb drunk sluts banged a bunch of dudes and that was on her. I never ever remember hearing anything about consent or entitlement. Whatever happened, it was always the shame and fault of the girl.

So apparently that kid isn't a rapist, but he is apparently someone who sat and did nothing when he knew a girl was getting gang raped. If the detectives have interviewed him three times, it's not because they think he's a good conversationalist.

Agree. This quote:

I guarantee this still happened but a) girls didn't say anything because it was understood that they wouldn't be believed/supported b) girls who did say something to a friend/parent were blamed/punished for drinking and being out late c) schools covered it up if it was reported there first d) police departments didn't…

I would like to share this blog entry that was written after the Steubenville assault.

Same, but I find it so depressing that a police department doing its job w/r/t sexual assault is exceptional. It should be the rule.

I want to give that police department ALL the cookies for doing their fucking job. Thats messed up.
