"Turner's action was criminal & terrible. His father makes idiotic statements to the press.

The victim had a horrible experience and according to her letter, she doesn't remember the actual rape due to her state of self-administered excess alcohol consumption. That's lucky for her. I do not believe the melodramatic & emotional outpouring in her 12 page letter was achieved without assistance from her therapist, attorney, ghost writer or p.r. representative. She will eventually recover, if she chooses to do so. I hope she chooses to.

I am female. I was violently raped on a downtown Palo Alto sidewalk when I was 26. Since I was fully conscious & had consumed no alcohol, I do remember my experience. I was walking from a movie theater to my car, a couple of blocks away at 10pm. I hadn't gone to a fraternity party to "visit with my sister"(?) & drink in a noisy environment where excessive drinking is widely known to occur & lots of the "men" are under age.

I do not blame the victim. I do caution women to consider honestly why they choose to go to fraternity parties. It is unlikely to be because they want to enjoy conversation with & company of other women. I caution adult women to avoid the company of drunk teenagers. I caution women not to walk alone at night even if it's pretty early & only a couple of blocks to the car.

I recovered. My scrapes, bruises & torn fingernails healed. My attacker was never caught, although since he also took my wallet & got my driving license, he did phone me later to tell me how much he "enjoyed meeting me" and wanted "to do it again." I feel no guilt or shame, as I did nothing wrong.

Rape is a terrible crime. Perpetrators should be punished & victims should be supported. I'd have more respect for Emily Doe if she'd indicated positive steps she's taking to heal instead of publicly wallowing in her ongoing suffering with 12 pages of o.t.t. soul-baring. Yes, she can be the poster woman for rape victims when she chooses to identify herself & she publishes her book, for which her letter is the preface."[/quote]
I'm disgusted that Emily Doe wasn't "raped enough" for you. I'm sorry for what happened to you, but you don't get to be the "biggest" victim. Go away.[/quote]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? PP, whoever responded to you is a complete asshole. I read your post, understand exactly what you have to say - and you said it eloquently. I hate that your rape happened. One of my closest friends was brutally raped in her own home.

To the one who responded to you in this post? What you preach is not feminism. It's weakness and cruelty.[/quote]
