TRIGGER FUCKING WARNING RAPE AND THE STATE OF THE UNION
DO YOU FUCKING REMEMBER HOW A GIRL IN OHIO WAS DRUGGED AND GANG-RAPED REPEATEDLY AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT PARTIES IN ONE NIGHT?
DO YOU REMEMBER HOW OUTRAGED WE WERE?
THIS IS THE NEWS COVERAGE IT GOT.
ONLY TWO BOYS WERE TRIED FOR IT. ONLY THREE YEARS OF JAILTIME WERE HANDED BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM.
AND THEY WERE PRESENTED AS THE VICTIMS IN THIS
THIS IS NOT THE WORLD I SIGNED ON FOR. THIS IS NOT THE LEGAL SYSTEM I LEARNED ABOUT IN SCHOOL, AND THIS IS NOT THE WAY THIS STORY ENDS.
GET MAD. GET FUCKING FURIOUS.
AND GET LOUD, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT GOING TO STAND FOR THIS
This is disgusting. Notice how they mention, with great empathy, how the lives of these two kids are destroyed, and only afterwards and rather off-hand do they even mention the fact that there was a victim, and that her life is changed by this as well.
Notice how they mention how difficult the lives of these boys are, their tears, their academic records, their status as children and their ability to play a god damn sports game.
And the victim, the girl who was raped and abused, is hardly even mentioned. She’s “Some victim”, and I swear you can almost hear the quotes around the word victim when they speak.
Why is feminism important? Because otherwise you have people taking pity on boys like this, who made a conscious choice to rape and abuse someone, who only get 3 years MAX in jail, and the girl who suffered from it is just some drunk slut.
god you’ve gotta be every level of goddamn fucking kidding me.
This is disgusting.
