<p>Thank you, zoosermom. It makes it difficult to discuss this subject when we start off with an assumption that all of our sons are rapists, or wannabe rapists.</p>
<p>The behavior of guys involved was disgusting and criminal, and the girl who went to the police is very brave. The reaction of some of her fellow students–the social ostracism–is almost as vile as that of the rapists.</p>
<p>I noted in the article that one of the girls overheard one of the guys saying something to the effect that “we’re going to [have sex with] these *****es tonight.” One wonders why this was not a signal to LEAVE.</p>
<p>Don’t get me wrong: I am not saying that it was in any way the victim’s “fault.” </p>
<p>But why oh why do some girls, mostly freshman girls apparently, have so little respect for themselves that they would obediently down the “big girl shots” and listen to guys call them “*****es” and talk about what they were going to do to them and not just get their friends together and get the hell out? I find it so very disturbing. Have decades of modern feminism been for naught? Are they so afraid of not pleasing men, that they would submit to the degrading treatment that preceded the rape?</p>
