"Part of the problem with all these campus rapes is political correctness" --friend of Brock

[Bucky]

This was in her letter to the judge who then decided 6 months was plenty of punishment

I don’t think it’s fair to base the fate of the next ten + years of his life on the decision of a girl who doesn’t remember anything but the amount she drank to press charges against him. I am not blaming her directly for this, because that isn’t right. But where do we draw the line and stop worrying about being politically correct every second of the day [font color="#0000dd"]and see that rape on campuses isn’t always because people are rapists[/font].

Because saying political correctness causes rape isn't terrible enough, she had to add in the argument that there's something about being on campus that turns law abiding citizens into rapists.

6. this is what people learn on campuses

And we wonder why our leader class is so damned weak.

7. Disgusting. The rapist tried to blame culture for his individual decision to rape

While we do live in a rape culture--this case is a perfect reflection of it and this comment embodies it, rape culture itself doesn't "cause" rape, it makes it socially acceptable to rapists and potential rapists.

The majority of young men live in a rape culture and manage not to rape anyone. What an asshole comment. You rape? You are a rapist.

10. Worse than that, it was female friend of the rapist making excuses for him when it could've been her

That is the insidious part of rape culture... the victims buy into their own guilt.

12. +1000

8. What causes rape?

[TipTok]

9. It's becoming the new 'With all due respect..."

With all due respect, your kid is ugly as hell.

Why are you getting mad? I said with all due respect...

11. This is the perverted mindset that propels the Republican War on Women

Puny, sick, insecure Republicans twisting reality into perverse concepts that they cling to in an effort to sustain their feeble, fragile masculine egos.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

14. Well, this was written by a woman

So I'm not quite sure what kind of ego she's trying to sustain but she's a fucking idiot either way.

[Scientific]

15. Lots of GOPPER women are brainwhacked & voluntarily enlisted in the War on Women

One does not need to look far among the GOP ranks to find them...

Just as Clarence Thomas (R) has voluntarily enlisted in the unholy GOP Racial politics of Division.

Stupidity on Steroids.

[Initech]

13. The defense of this is getting to be every bit as disgusting as the act itself.

[smirkymonkey]

17. Thank YOU!

I am so sick of hearing from the apologists!

[gollygee]

16. Rape isn't because people are rapists?

It doesn't matter how much she drank. If she hadn't been around a rapist, she wouldn't have been raped. Alcohol doesn't rape people.
