In reply to the discussion: Sodomy Hazing Leaves 13-Year-Old Victim Outcast in Colorado Town [View all]Scootaloo
(25,699 posts)100. No, it's pointing out that some DU posters are sexist
In that these posters are willing to dismiss or blame a woman who is raped, while showing full sympathy for a male victim.
No comment is made referring to the gender of the posters in question. That is all you, that's 100% made up in your head, and every post you've made thus far has been assuming that what's only in your head is actually in riqster's posts.
If you are going to assume that all posters who would do this are guys, then I guess that's something you might want to reflect on about yourself. But it's not something riqster ever said.

Sickening that the towns people & school district would minimize it and not stand up for the victim.
