In reply to the discussion: USC Fratboy Email Calls Women “Targets;” Declares “Giving Them A Name Is Pointless” [View all]redqueen
(115,186 posts)Did you see the thread about the woman who was raped repeatedly while hotel workers accepted the word of her rapists that everything was fine, despite her screaming?
Did you see that that thread was dismissed by an outraged DUer who found it unconscionable that we discuss the incident?
Do you not see that the post below, claiming that just because this is an old email that it's somehow meaningless and this is a non issue dismisses the issue of rapes on college campuses?
Just because you're comforted and reassured that the frequency of rape is decreasing, that doesn't mean that everyone is so all fired up and satisfied that we think that now we can just ignore this crap and pretend that anyone dismissing it is just ducky and we shouldn't be annoyed about that attempt to dismiss it at all? That many of us are aware of how many women never report the rape to begin with, so such statistics really aren't so comforting that we can allow people to attempt to minimize these things?
