No. A rape culture where we are conditioned to behave in this manner. seabeyond Feb 2013 #9

Here is how one journalist said what sea said above. redqueen Feb 2013 #11

Why on earth would she go to the honor court instead of the "real" police? Blue_Tires Feb 2013 #19

She did report this to the authorities obamanut2012 Feb 2013 #24

And the police did nothing? SunSeeker Feb 2013 #26

The issue is the article is about a campus matter, not the criminal matter obamanut2012 Feb 2013 #40

Rape is a CRIME. Why have there been no charges filed with the POLICE? nt SunSeeker Feb 2013 #25

Rape culture says some rapes arent 'rape rape'. redqueen Feb 2013 #27

It is first and foremost a crime, and should be treated that way. SunSeeker Feb 2013 #31

Misogyny exists on a continuum. redqueen Feb 2013 #34

I'm for examining a misandry continuum, to see what works as a deterrent to rape. ancianita Feb 2013 #39

Better to work towards a society that values and respects women, redqueen Feb 2013 #43

Sure, because it's so "evolutionary" in concept. But a 'swerve' here and there might help, as well. ancianita Feb 2013 #55

are you saying men get offended (by misandry) into raping women? bettyellen Feb 2013 #53

Of course not. I'm saying that misandry is defensive, and that defensive systems can be set up. ancianita Feb 2013 #54

Women's nonviolent approaches haven't worked -- at any level -- from the familial to the state level ancianita Feb 2013 #57

oh thanks for clarifying. gosh, i do agree menkind are not setting a great example for us to follow bettyellen Feb 2013 #58

i'm not saying that they're "setting a great example." But at this point, "men's terms" might be ancianita Feb 2013 #59

Sorry! I'm so sleep deprived, that got garbled. Using men's terms is definitely something bettyellen Feb 2013 #61

McFarlane made a joke of women being raped obamanut2012 Feb 2013 #41

No he didn't. But nice try though. truebrit71 Feb 2013 #49

Uh, is there any evidence this woman was actually raped? Comrade Grumpy Feb 2013 #48

So not surprised to see you waving the 'false rape' flag. redqueen Feb 2013 #51

Just asking for basic facts, but not surprised that you're not surprised. Comrade Grumpy Feb 2013 #52

So people should start having skepticism rather than sympathy for women who say they were raped? alp227 Feb 2013 #63
