ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?!!!?? This is abhorrent. I cannot even fathom the faulty reasoning, lack of empathy, and sheer ignorance behind that statement. I am sick to my stomach and disappointed in humanity. What? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?!!!?? This is abhorrent.

Well yeah, I also don’t want to scare kids about a threat that is pretty rare. But how about taking this opportunity to educate students about the realities of assault, the prevalence of aqcuaintance rape, and try creating a campus culture that instead of dismissing and shaming their students (the first article spends a good deal of time talking about how drunk and flirtatious the young woman was at the time of her alleged assault), values prevention and offers support?  Cara has more on this here.

I can look up statistics if requested)" No that is definitely true. Usu dad or stepdad, sometimes another caregiver. I think most murders are also by people the victim knows, right? “Most cases of child sexual abuse are by people they know (I believe. I can look up statistics if requested)”

No that is definitely true. Usu dad or stepdad, sometimes another caregiver.

I think most murders are also by people the victim knows, right?

This is just sickening to me. I understand there can be different views on rape, but the law should uphold past personal opinion. The rapists should be punished severely for their transgression on 'Jane Doe.' "According to the annual crime report of the Delhi Police, 98 percent of rape victims in the capital knew the accused." "“These are people who knew each other. … It’s a social situation..." So because they knew them, its not rape? Its not serious? This is pathetic. Rape is very serious crime that can ruin lives. It needs to be taken seriously as such. This makes me so mad. Nice blog, btw. Rape is rape, despite whatever you want to call it! This is just sickening to me.
