This was in her letter to the judge who then decided 6 months was plenty of punishment

I dont think its fair to base the fate of the next ten + years of his life on the decision of a girl who doesnt remember anything but the amount she drank to press charges against him. I am not blaming her directly for this, because that isnt right. But where do we draw the line and stop worrying about being politically correct every second of the day [font color="#0000dd"]and see that rape on campuses isnt always because people are rapists[/font].
Because saying political correctness causes rape isn't terrible enough, she had to add in the argument that there's something about being on campus that turns law abiding citizens into rapists.

(41,976 posts)While we do live in a rape culture--this case is a perfect reflection of it and this comment embodies it, rape culture itself doesn't "cause" rape, it makes it socially acceptable to rapists and potential rapists.
The majority of young men live in a rape culture and manage not to rape anyone. What an asshole comment. You rape? You are a rapist.
