But not germane to the premise of the post.

"I want to puke at the people making this about race.

At the heart of it all, it's about what men can get away with doing to women. If the two men hadn't helped and WITNESSED, does anyone think SHE would have even been able to get the guy to court?

The central issue is women are routinely devalued, disbelieved, discarded. Collateral damage, no matter what their promising future and years of hard work might have looked like."
