[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just finished the book Know My Name by Chanel Miller, the woman who was raped by Brock Turner, and looked through this thread. Wow, some of the comments here were really eye-opening, and showed an extreme lack of knowledge of the case. Has anyone else read the book? If you thought she bore some culpability for what happened prior to the book being released, did your perspective change by what you learned?[/quote]

I haven't read the book and think she has some culpability (a good bit of culpability) for what happened, given her history of drinking and having blackouts (and given her age).

Did the book change your perspective?[/quote]

If you think it's open season to rape women who are passed out next to a dumpster, I doubt a book will change your mind. [/quote]

Ah.  So she doesn't admit to her own part.

Holy F. I hope this is a Russian bot trying to troll the internet and not a real person. [/quote]

Why assume bot?  We live in a world where men do rape women who are blacked out. [b]Whether or not they should is moot[/b]. They do. Therefore you should protect yourself and act accordingly. If you’re going to get drunk and pass out, you really shouldn’t be surprised if it happens. 
You should act according to the world we actually live in, not the one you think we should live in. [/quote]

No. No, it's not MOOT you idiot. That's the entirety of the point. It's THE POINT. Rapists shouldn't rape. That's it. That's all they have to do. NOT RAPE. Somehow, I see drunk people all the time. I don't rape them. IT'S NOT HARD. It's not a moot point. My god, who the F are you?[/quote]

And robbers shouldn’t rob. And carjackers shouldn’t carjack. And arsonists shouldn’t start fires. And murderers shouldn’t murder. 
How’s that fantasy world working out for you?[/quote]

Do we have constant internet warriors or even judges saying you caused your own arson fire for something you did? Do we routinely see in the news what a person driving down the street did wrong to be carjacked? No. 
Until we do, hmmmm. What could possibly be the difference here.[/quote]

Personally I don’t GAF about what internet warriors say. I’m not that fragile. And I will continue to take precautions to mitigate the chances they any of these crimes happen to me. I’m impressed that you don’t have smoke alarms, or wear seatbelts, or feel comfortable getting blackout drunk anytime anywhere, or hanging out in a high crime area in the early morning hours. If that’s working for you, have at it. It doesn’t work for me. Different strokes for different folks I guess. [/quote]

The fact that you don't understand how your views go out into the world and shape the social collective viewpoint on rape and victims of rape is horrifying to me, and that doesn't make me fragile. That makes me angry that there are still people out here going to the mats on what victims should do and should't do, calling it MOOT to discuss the rapist because, oh well, he's going to do it anyway, nothing to do here, and you don't see how you contribute to the very victim blaming society that's in play here is disgusting. You. Are. The. Problem. And you're too dumb to see it.[/quote]

He IS going to do it anyway. And you’re too dumb to see that. Must be nice in that no rape fantasy world of yours.

Men have been racing for hundreds of years. And they will continue to do so. [/quote]
