(2,577 posts)I am the mother of a son. As a mother, I can't imagine raising my child to have such complete contempt of women.
I am appalled by a teen party culture where dragging an unconscious classmate around is not only okay, but it is something cool to put on your i-phone. Photographing rape is a party activity.
I have lived in Ohio for 30 years, so know all about the worship of high school football players. Yep, they get away with speeding and drinking and many other things 'cuz "boys will be boys." It's stupid and unhealthy for these young men who then struggle beyond high school when they are no longer special. However, a town protecting a gang rape of a 15 year old because the perps were football players?? I have no words.
And for the "mother" of the boy involved who abused her position as prosecutor to protect her precious little rapist, wow. I hope she is disbarred at the very minimum. The sheriff who ---oops---misplaced the evidence? He needs to face charges as well.
And Steubenville? So sorry you think we are being mean to you. However, when you support a culture of rape and cover-up you deserve the reputation from hell you now have. You earned it.
