    I've mentioned this incident before, but I figure it bears repeating and has relevancy to this story. I once sat in a courtroom with someone who had been raped listening to story after story of horrible abuse, and watching the justice system do fuck all about it (the person I was with didn't even get a restraining order). There was one woman there who took matters into her own hands, however. She photocopied her rapists face, along with every single crime he had ever committed onto hundreds of fliers and put them up all over his neighborhood. The judge said, "You probably shouldn't be saying this to me, it could have a negative impact on your case" (wow, really? she was there trying to keep this guy away from her children). She responded by saying, "This isn't defamation of character because everything on this flier is true, and I'll tell you all about it." The judge backed off after that, and was basically forced to agree with her. What did she get? Not her rapist in jail, that would be way too much justice, she got an extension of a restraining order. Amazing and brave woman, really, and so are the ones who publicly out their rapists.

    Fucking lame. I love how they hide their faces from the cameras. I would love to "hear the other side of the story" right before I clock him in the jaw.

    Okay, so can we all agree that this bullshit is rape culture?

    I'm looking at that little Facebook group that was made. The amount of ignorance and split division between truth and lies is quite apparent.

    I love how everyone of the "I know you didn't do it, he's not like that I've known him for years" reason is fucking garbage. How many serial killers have gotten away with their secrets behind their friends and family's backs because "they aren't that type of person?" This is the same thing, just because they aren't that way or act like it doesn't mean they didn't a sex drive and power agenda they needed to satisfy that wasn't know to any of these outsiders.

    People let other people believe and know what they want them to believe. I may not have been there or known the victim or the alleged rapists but I have no doubt in my mind that they are guilty due to facts, evidence and circumstances shown thus far.

    Right.

    One of the last posts was a reminder that when a person is completely drunk that they are in no position to give consent to anything, including sex and therefor, any sexual contact that happens at this point is an assault. I don't think the geniuses behind that group understand that though.

    What a sad story and a brave woman. It always amazes me that anybody can think forcing intercourse on someone is OK, but then I thought - when do we actually educate people on this sort of subject? I don't remember ever covering rape at school. As a mother of 2 young boys I really don't want them to turn out thinking rape is ok and being sexist twats but I guess it falls on me and their dad to ensure that (generally I think most parents find talking about this subject to teenagers horribly embarrassing)

    I talk about it a lot when we do the 'love and sex' part of the course (catholic religion, btw) in the 5th year. Of course, that's already too late (they're about 16 then), but I don't really have room in my curriculum to talk about it earlier. But I do think it's really important they think about it. I know from colleagues it's also mentioned in social sciences classes.

    Of course, Belgium has mandatory sex ed in schools at every year of schooling from 11 years old, so...

    I think that's the problem, they're already having sex by the time schools get round to discussing it, to be honest though I'm 40 and have no idea what sex education is like in the UK anymore - I guess I should find out

    I'm 26 and rape wasn't touched on at my school, besides philosophy classes at A-level, but as you say, that's too late. We got the contraceptive talk at about 14 and the clinical biological talk at about 12.

    USC sent Tucker Reed (the girl I've been posting about) THIS in the mail this week.

    Me and my peers are protesting that trash rapist's graduation and doing a sit-in in judicial affairs Monday. Also Huffington Post has been in contact with her and they told her she will be on the front page soon. I have a friend in contact with the LA TIMES. Bring it on USC. Mother fuckers. And good luck when your continuous violations of TITLE IX are on display for all the nation to see. I'm sure it will garner positive press. Ass holes. Students are no longer completely in the dark about their rights, and this fucking school is going to pay the price.

    The Vice President of the school was actively trying to take down this article written by a friend of mine because it's getting so much attention and has been trending as the number 1 article for days now. http://www.neontommy.com/news/2013/0...unpunished-usc The editors gave them a big fuck you.


    Local News covered our protest today. http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/video...e-allegations/

    “We did our job,” he says. “We did it well. It’s unfortunate that they are unhappy. I guess they’re just going to have to get over it."
    Good slogan: "Rape: Just get OVER it!"

    Two New Documentaries Will Highlight Student Activism Against Campus Sexual Assault


    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/21/campus-rape-documentaries_n_6517840.html

    A few of my friends are in one of these trailers. "The Hunting Grounds." I interviewed also but chickened out so I don't think I will be in the film but please take a look. So happy this shit is finally getting attention. These are the same filmmakers who made The Invisible War so hopefully this will garner as much attention.
