This apparently needs to be repeated over and over again until some people can get it through their thick skulls. It happened again, in Chicago, another fucking frat house of course, another poor young woman’s life ruined.
This stuff makes my blood boil. I’m livid. Fuck rapists.

    She was 21. Her life is ruined forever, that poor soul will have to carry those scars till the day she dies.

    And what happens to the people responsible? Nothing.
    They probably get off with writing an essay or some other symbolic punishment because “Oh, we can’t ruin young men’s lives! They have their entire lives ahead of them!”. Well, so does she. What a fucking joke…

    What a fucked up world. I hate this place. Fuck society, fuck rape culture and fuck the people capable of committing these atrocities.

    Sincerely,
    a very pissed off me

      The pendulum is swinging and I hope it swings so hard that it fucking crushes the patriarchy.

      A girl can dream.

        That would be a dream come true. I don’t drink, but if I live long enough to experience that, I’m drinking my liver to death in celebration.

        I’ll gladly dream with you on this, Velma 💜

          Same, babe. I don’t drink but Goddess knows I’ll pour one just for the occasion.

      Round here they even get discharged without conviction because “he has a promising rugby career” or similar bullshit.

        That’s fucking disgusting. The perpetrator doesn’t even get a conviction and the victim receives all the blame and death threats, of fucking course…

        In a morbid way, this reminds me of marry-your-rapist laws: if the rapist even offers to marry the victim after commiting the crime, he gets off free.
        Easily one of the top fucked up things I’ve ever seen or heard.

          Yeah. It’s insane.

          The argument is that the penalty outweighs the severity of the crime: which is a good principal. The problem is that the severity of this particular crime is underweighted as you’ve said. It’s considered a purely physical crime with purely physical effects.

            Give me a break…anyone who seriously thinks that with this particular crime doesn’t have half a functioning brain.
            And if they do, their empathy is so lacking that it’s genuinely frightening and they shouldn’t be part of society.

            You’re absolutely right.

    True and also, drugs and alcohol can both be tools used by rapists to help them rape people and sheild themselves from justice and judgement

      Could they? Would alcohol turn someone into a rapist if that person wasn’t already a rapist while sober? I personally don’t think so.
