TYT: Traci Lords' Steubenville - A Culture of Rape?



"When a rape case in Steubenville, Ohio, became national news, it affected women (and men) all over the world. The image of a seemingly unconscious girl being dragged from one room to the next, the reports of her being sexually assaulted at not one but three different parties, the vulgar tweets from disrespectful teenagers, the 12 minute-long video from a now repentant and now former Ohio State University student named Michael Nodianos—it turned people's stomachs."*

Why did the people of Steubenville, Ohio seem so uncaring about a teenage girl who was raped and humiliated by the high school football team? Traci Lords, a former resident famous for appearing in porn at age 15 is coming forward with a startling explanation. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
