I don’t take a public stance on many things political, but this radicalized me. Seven men are accused of gang raping a woman, and we are having a conversation about reflective essays?? Reflective. Fucking. Essays. Women spend their lives calculating around the possibility of male violence. Watch your drink. Don’t walk alone. Share your location. Stay together. Text me when you’re home. Don’t trust the wrong guy. And this is the consequence we come up with???? I’m sorry, No. If institutions are more afraid of ruining the futures of men accused of HORRIFIC sexual violence than of failing the women who report it, something is deeply DEEPLY rotten. You cannot demand that women structure their ENTIRE lives around avoiding rape and then treat sexual violence like a disciplinary infraction. Accountability has to mean more than something these boys can have ai write for them.
