RE: Stanford Rape Case: Victim Letter Going Viral

Neo Wrote:

Yeah she made a mistake by getting black out drunk.

But come on guys, from what I read the guy seems guilty as hell here. There were two witnesses who saw him having sex with the girl who was unconscious.

Let's say that she consented and then passed out. EVEN THEN, this dude still decided to continue to bang her on a dirt road, then went to run away when the guys asked what he was doing? Sounds pretty fucked up to me.

Culture war or not, the guy seems guilty and his sentence is far too light.

Neo, that's ridiculous.

This guy is a young confused kid who was drunk off his ass. This slut went to the party because she wanted to get drunk and cheat on her boyfriend. She obviously wanted this athlete guy to fuck her as she admits in this key passage from the "victim letter" which you need to parse correctly through its lawyerly wording:

Quote:

And you’re right, maybe I was still fluttering my eyes and wasn’t completely limp yet, fine. His guilt did not depend on him knowing the exact second that I became unconscious, that is never what this was about. I was slurring, too drunk to consent way before I was on the ground. I should have never been touched in the first place

In other words she's admitting she was by no means unconscious when he started "fingering" her which she herself said she "liked". This kid is now supposed to be a "rapist" because in his own drunkenness he could not figure out the exact moment when the equally drunk girl passed out? Really?

The idea that this is a "light sentence" is a tragically misplaced one. In reality, the guy's life is ruined forever. He will be registered as a sex offender for the remainder of his life. He is an eternal pariah and outcast. All because this slut decided that a few moments of drunkenness were enough to destroy a man's life for good.

A crime was committed here all right, but not by this drunk and confused teenage boy. The crime is that of a society full of psychotic princesses and their despicable white-knight enablers which treats its young men as worthless roadkill.

Lastly. This "victim statement" is one of the most dishonest documents of its kind I've ever read -- not just factually, but emotionally dishonest. It is a self-consciously literary text written in the hysterical tones of contemporary serious female fiction. It is full of the most shameless lies and prevarication at every turn. Its dishonesty is the exact reason that the Year Zero media has feasted on this statement and found it to be so uniquely "eloquent".

The whole story is just another in a long series of outrages that we are becoming increasingly numb to. But our numbness doesn't make it any less of a reality for the young man whose life was destroyed here.

same old shit, sixes and sevens Shaft...
