<p>@consolation thank you for the clarification and I’m well aware what sexual assault means. I kinda screwed what I was typing about because of the whole rape guide thing mentioned, and I happened to write rape instead of sexual assault. My bad! But it did get attention which is great!</p>
<p>Sorry for vague insinuation of my earlier post.
My point is: violations of law should be punished, wrong practice should be remedied, and victims should be cared and compensated, ACCORDINGLY. And I believe we should keep EQUANIMITY and CONFIDENCE. IMO the side effect of this thread, I’m afraid, is proliferating Pharisee and Herod group, and this simply make it difficult to find the better solution and to pave the way for the further developments of Dartmouth. </p>
<p>@peepingtom Yes, this is kind of a silly question. I don’t feel comfortable sharing everything, but I can link you to an article: <a href=“http://thedartmouth.com/2014/02/12/news/author-of-online-post-identified-as-member-of-class-of-2017”>http://thedartmouth.com/2014/02/12/news/author-of-online-post-identified-as-member-of-class-of-2017</a> </p>
<p>Polarbearshark, I guess I did not phrase my words properly. I find the actions of the '17 unacceptable. If you read on, I think he should be expelled. However, I stand firm in my belief that Dartmouth is a very safe place to send your daughters. This is not just due to my daughter having a positive experience, but the vast majority of her classmates as well. I’m not at all opposed to healthy conflict on this board, but I really believe current students with positive experiences should be heard. Unfortunately, they are far too busy to care about CC.</p>
<p>I’m extremely upset about the treatment of women on campus at Dartmouth. Not sure if its some strange social psychology thing going on, but it does seem like a lot of guys at Dartmouth feel a need to act hyper-masculine. I for one would advise potential students to look elsewhere, but if you do decide to come here, do it with eyes open in regards to relations between the sexes. </p>
<p>This is a topic that deserves discussion. I would recommend you start a fresh thread rather than build on this one, although I understand it probably looked like a logical place to start. You are raising a general concern rather than commenting on the specific case – which has now run its course. I would encourage you to open a thread and offer specifics of behavior you have experienced, seen, or heard of (there is no hearsay rule here). </p>
<p>Yes newenglandgrl, please start a new thread. I’d be interested in what you have to say.</p>
