[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I find most scary is that Brock is likely not a "monster."  I'm afraid he is a symbol and a product of the culture.  I would bet he doesn't lack intelligence, or come from a disadvantaged or abusive background, or suffer from a personality disorder.  He probably won't ever do this again.

Our culture - frat, athlete, college, what-have-you - is so f*cked up that a smart guy, amazing athlete (think of the discipline/focus required to be an all-American swimmer) with everything going for him - is so intent on hooking up, and feels so entitled, that he finds himself raping an unconscious woman behind a dumpster and then rationalizing it.  This AFTER a million news stories (and I'm sure a million awareness campaigns at Stanford) about what consent is and how this hurts the victim.

It's so shocking and horrible.  I read that the Swede(s) were crying at the scene at the horror.

Hookup culture is extremely self-destructive.  Very damaging.  [/quote]

Can you explain what about this rape has anything to do with "hook up" culture?[/quote]
