Did Your Son Rape A Woman? We Mean ‘Drink Excessively And Do Promiscuity To Her’?

[niyad]

(the comments at wonkette are worth reading. the father of this rapist is so clueless that there really are no words to explain (well, words that can be used in polite company, anyway. 20 minutes of out the rapist's life--not one damned word about the rapist's victim)

let's talk about college campus drinking culture and the sexual promiscuity that goes along with that baby

Did Your Son Rape A Woman? We Mean ‘Drink Excessively And Do Promiscuity To Her’?

gonna do some campus drinking culture and the sexual promiscuity that goes along with it all night!

Perhaps you were on the Internet this weekend. If so, presumably you already read the holy shit Buzzfeed letter that the woman who was raped at Stanford wrote to her rapist, young, nerdy Brock Turner. She is a really good writer! It was a holy shit letter! If you haven’t read it, head on over, and we’ll see you back here in … hmmmm, about 20 minutes. Okay, scoot!

So, that was an excellent letter. It made you sad, and angry, and punch something. It was very evocative! You really felt like you were there! Maybe you, like the Swedes on bicycles, would have stopped the rape behind the dumpster. Maybe you would have called someone else for help! Maybe you would have done neither of those things, but instead would inform everyone that alcohol causes promiscuity. Let’s find the relevant portion of this woman’s letter to the man who raped her, which she read aloud in open court.


Unfortunately, after reading the defendant’s report, I am severely disappointed and feel that he has failed to exhibit sincere remorse or responsibility for his conduct. I fully respected his right to a trial, but even after twelve jurors unanimously convicted him guilty of three felonies, all he has admitted to doing is ingesting alcohol. Someone who cannot take full accountability for his actions does not deserve a mitigating sentence. It is deeply offensive that he would try and dilute rape with a suggestion of “promiscuity”. By definition rape is not the absence of promiscuity, rape is the absence of consent, and it perturbs me deeply that he can’t even see that distinction.

We don’t need to belabor this, do we? Brock Turner has been found guilty of three violent felonies; pine needles and dirt were removed from the vagina of the woman who wrote the letter, after he raped her on the gravel behind a dumpster; he admits only to drinking and promiscuity. We are all clear that this is … an inadequate response?

1. ". . . her rapist, young, nerdy Brock Turner."

Please don't insult nerds. Turner isn't a nerd. He happens to fall into another category. He's a smug, entitled punk who deserves to be punched in his smirking face.

I dare say that because I'm the father of two wonderful daughters, both of whom are far better human beings than he ever will be in his entire life. I despise the punks who either get away with committing rape entirely or get their little wrists slapped. There are times when I think this society loves rapists.
