[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Though one may place bets on being raped on college campuses, I would want to know where did the rapes occur?  Were they in a dorm room?  At a frat?  Walking across campus and attacked by a student or stranger?

Just giving statistics, number of students/number of rapes, is not the whole picture.  I would want to know the circumstances of the rapes then I would know how to address my guidance.

It's not unreasonable to know more facts before you throw a blanket over the whole campus.  If the Stanford rapes are ONLY occurring in fraternities or fraternity based events, that gives one a much clearer idea of the situations surrounding the rapes.[/quote]

I was raped at Stanford.  It was not at a fraternity or a fraternity-based event.  There's 1 for you.
[/quote]Was it on campus?[/quote]Sorry, you said at Stanford.  Since you'very come this far, it might help others, without sensitive details, what type of on-campus environment it occurred.  Respectfully, in your comment "there's one for you", I sense you think we feel that rape only takes place in frat activities.  Nothing could be further from the truth.

Rape can occur anywhere.  The lead story on the local news this morning was about a woman assaulted while walking from Metro.

Share if you wish but do not think anyone is trivializing your experience.
