Exactly. The whole world is crazy.

This issue is a lot more complicated than a male's sensibilities being infringed upon.

Read the article below where this woman was basically battered constantly and her own family made her feel like she did something to provoke the situation.
At one pint he actually stabbed her in the back and she hit him with a telephone on the face ran to a neighbors house and called 911. When the Police arrived they actually told her she assaulted him and did not focus on the fact that she had a bloody stab wound on her back. She ultimately left the guy and has been scarred physically and emotionally ever since... Oh yeah and the guy went on to kill his next girlfriend but was only charged with manslaughter and is now out on the streets...

This woman spoke out against Stephen A Smith's comments precisely for the reasons I highlighted above and in previous posts on this thread...

I knew a guy in the military who told me a horrific story about how he put a Ruffie in a girl's drink at a party once, but did not participate in what happened next as he was just messing around... The girl was raped as she was unconscious by at least 5 men at this party and this idiot just stood by as the situation he created spiraled into a living Hell for the poor girl. Before the story I was actually friends with him... Once he told me this story I simply told him I could not be friends with someone who would be complicit to something so vile.

Good for you- some stuff men do and get away with is beyond disgusting and it genuinely disturbs me how many men seem to think rape is not only okay, but something to brag about. I sometimes wonder if we somehow contribute to that culture by not challenging some of the stuff our friends or other men say. Even the use of the b word, c word etc, it all contributes towards a culture of hate and contempt, and once you dehumanize a group of people, that's when the abuse starts.

This is a big problem in America that rarely gets any media attention because of our male dominated society...

Based on what I read in that article it's just as likely she let them gangbang and produced a less "shameful" version of what happened as soon as the video started floating around.

You're obviously one of those sad men who think that women who are raped were 'asking for it' or that 'no' actually meant 'yes', simply because you are bitter that some women rejected your sexual advances in the past.

lol yeah well you sound like the type of person women just want to be friends with to me.

don't generalize what I said. I'm speaking on this specific story where no one was arrested and she was only allegedly raped after a video went public. a girl in college recently killed herself because a porn audition she was in was linked to on social media. unless she was in a coma in the video I don't know if I could just put as much faith as you have in her word. have you seen the video?
