    strangely enough there isn't that much discussion to be had about a brutal gang rape

    unless you have a new perspective on it I guess

    How about the fact that even though it was in a relatively public place and strangers kept stumbling upon the crime it wasn't stopped?

    It is horrible.

    What else is there to say about it?

    Do I have to make a big animated image saying 'THIS SHIT IS WHY A WOMAN MIGHT LEAVE INFO BEHIND AT HOME WHEN SHE GOES OUT ON A DATE' for you?

    you're changing your point.

    bad shit happens in the world. I know a dude who went for a walk and got punched in the face for no reason. later, on his way home, he got robbed.

    should EVERYBODY be leaving information? I mean, I do about an hour's worth of highway driving daily. Statistically, I could wind up in a nasty accident.

    You have a cell phone yes? In an accident situation it can be used by the authorities to find you. Damn government and it's paranoia.

    so my cellphone is good enough for me, but not for women?

    Since violent acts are not ACCIDENTS, no.

    It is not unreasonable for everyone to leave the information of their location behind.

    Do you think it is unreasonable for people to provide emergency information?

    emergency information is generally intended to help in case of an accident, not to find the body and bring the culprit to justice.

    This is, I think, the sort of event where the idea of rape culture springs up from. You might say: "But it was just 20 or so kids, that's not a defining event."

    I think if you want to use a term like "rape culture" honestly, you need to do a better job of articulating what you mean than has happened so far in this thread.

    We don't say that we have a "murder culture" or a "theft culture" or whatever in response to other heinous crimes. The reason pushback happens against calling society a "rape culture" is that it sounds like a loaded phrase that's being used to deflect discussion.

    Rape is not the equivalent of theft. You can leave your wallet at home, I can't leave my vagina at home.

    I ABSOLUTELY agree that rape is not equivalent to theft

    however, I absolutely CANNOT leave my wallet at home. I couldn't function day to day without it, because of the structure of our society. Telling me to leave my wallet at home would be like me saying "stay home if you don't want to get raped."



    Rape and theft are different because of how they affect the victim, not because one is some how more preventable.

    I'm sorry, the analogy might not be perfect. In discussion as rape as a crime, the analogy "Would you walk around with a wallet full of $100 bills in a dark neighborhood?" inevitably comes up. I was more thinking of that image.

    Kagera, that doesn't make a lick of sense. Her father knew where she was. Or rather, where she was supposed to be. He was looking for her while she joined into the drinking.

    Actually it makes TOTAL sense if you would actually use some critical thinking skills and extrapolate.

    But let's go to an even more basic explanation for you.

    Yes, the father knew where she was, and yes it was not enough to save her from a horrible crime, and yet Evan and Pony would have you think she was mentally flawed for taking such a precaution.

    Leaving a note that says she's going to a dance is rather different than leaving a note that says "Hey I'm going out with a guy and just in case I get assaulted here is his information." You think her dad's letting her go to that dance in the first place if she leaves a note saying "hey dad going to a dance if I get assaulted here's the info of every guy there?"

    example failure

    Are you saying the chance of her being assaulted is determined by whether she mentions it in a note or not?

    why does that make a difference?

    we're talking about an unwilling victim in either scenario. why does it matter if the other party was behaving intentionally or not, in terms of cellphones and notes?

    "Culture of violence" is almost always used to refer to the specific issue of adolescent violence in schools. Which is a rather more specific use of "culture of x" than is being used in this thread. If "rape culture" had a similarly specific accepted use I would be a lot more comfortable with it.

    I was under the impression that adolescent violence was only a commonly-focused-on facet, like heterosexual rape of women with the rape culture concept.

    I don't know, googled around and found all sorts of different uses, but adolescent violence was the most common use, which dovetailed with how I always see it used. Looking at more google results reveals that people use it to refer to everything from adolescent violence to sexual violence to abortion to television and back again.

    I don't really see how that is relevant as an argument though, since my original point was that vague phrases like that are really little more than rhetorical devices used to deflect discussion.

    Well in the case of an intentional incident the criminal and their desire not to be caught tends to make it matter.

    I'd rather not rely solely on something that the criminal can get their hands on you see.

    No. I am saying that the situations are completely different and the fact that she left a note before leaving for a dance is really not relevant to the previous discussion of whether it is reasonable to leave a "rape note" before going on a date.

    Depends on who is using it.

    In this case it is being used to encapsulate a whole range of issues into two words for the sake of brevity.

    If the Media was using it, all bets are off.

    Let me put it this way:

    If that girl, after two hours of being raped and beaten had died

    I truly believe that the public response would be different. If this was a murder, there would not be such a large denial that the community's boys had taken place in it, the school would not be blowing this off as an isolated incident and calling the school dance a success, and I think the conversation would be much more focused on how to change things.

    I also believe that if Roman Polanski had murdered a 13 year old instead of sodomizing her, he would not have the level of sympathy from his peers he has now.

    Hell, maybe he should have taken the mic from her at an awards show, that would have really pissed everyone off.

    again

    if you want to bring something new to the table, I'm sure lots of people would be happy to talk about it. I don't think it's required of people to hold forth on obvious topics before they can address more interesting or contentious ones.

    Or maybe every post in the thread should end with the following footnote:

    *But wait! Even though I am a man I condemn rape and sexual assault in all their forms, and hope that law enforcement vigorously pursues every accusation and alleged criminal(s) vigorously.

    Very late on this, but the thread is moving quickly

    I'd just like to amend this to
    *But wait! Even though I am a man I condemn rape and sexual assault in all their forms, and hope that the father finds these bastards, and the police are 10 minutes too late to the resulting scene, for each and every one of them

    you're completely ignoring the idea of telling a friend where you will be, which I have been ADVOCATING for. Basically at all times of day in my life, there is at least one other person who knows where I am. That is just common sense.



    It's leaving a note for the cops that crosses a threshold.

    The article doesn't mean that a note DIRECTLY TO THE POLICE IS THE SOLE METHOD OF LEAVING INFORMATION BEHIND.

    Yeesh.

    why do the cops need the note if the friends already knows?

    do you understand what I am saying about the note being "too much"?

    Friends forget, paper doesn't.

    Alright, new topic, but I've been racking my brain, and FINALLY remembered the name Kitty Genovese, which I've been trying to remember for the length of this whole thread.

    Not relying on your friend's memory means that you're insane and should not go outside, Kagera. I hope you're happy now you crazy paranoid.

    Why is it too much?

    Why is taking five seconds to write on paper too much?

    why is taking a second to wash your hands ever hour too much?

    Would the school board still work to defend seven murderers, and the fifteen+ kids who stood around and watched their classmate die?

    Probably to be honest. They are vulnerable to a lawsuit whether the victim had died or not.

    Well if you can wash your hands in a second you have some pretty fucking quick hands.

    honestly, I'm happy to drop this whole topic, because I'm tired of the name calling, and no one on either side is EVER going to budge.
