3r here. This isnot the first time a poster has accused others of being rape supporters, victim blamers and enablers. Some of us are getting a bit tired of it.

Being told that you're "helping rapists" is also not persuasive. That accusation was made more than once this afternoon.

Yes x3, it's getting very tiresome. Somehow if we are not all 100% anti Brock in every single one of our comments then we support him. And "help rapists rape". Ridiculous and over the top insulting.

Yes, he did some very bad things. He is being punished for them. Good. But there ARE other lessons here to be learned.

Don't rape.
Be careful.
Help others.

We heard you the first 10 times.

Oh really? And I bet it still sounds like I'm helping rapists rape, huh?

You just keep repeating yourself like you're saying something profound, and it's annoying me. I don't think it's profound at all; I think it's simplistic. And I don't think you get why saying "be careful" in this context is lame. Of course, everyone should be careful. You don't think the victim wishes she'd been more careful? You can't read the story without thinking, gosh, I should be more careful. But it's shitty to say it, because she paid 1000000 times over for her "carelessness." And nobody deserves what happened to her. And when you do what you're doing, which is assign guilt, you're telling every single person that reads your words that if they're raped, they should go over what they did and think about their role in it.

I'm sure rape victims already do that. In a case like this where some bad decisions were made you think we should just completely ignore those bad decisions and not try to learn from them at all? You would think rape victims would be the first to jump up and and say "Protect yourself, ladies, as best you can! There are bad people out there". Empower others to avoid these bad guys, if they can. They can't all be avoided, but if you have *some* control over a situation why wouldn't you at least try your best to reduce the risk.

If I had sons, I'm sure I'd be thinking of ways to help them be a good person and respect others. Be a Swede.

But I only have girls so I'm thinking of ways to help them avoid these bad guys.

Anyway, it has been said 70,000 times now so I'll stop. Unless the "help rapists rape" comments continue.

You know what? I read her story and think that I would have been severely upset and angry if I found out that some opportunistic college hook up had fingered me while I was passed out drunk.

But being passed out drunk and half naked and then being photographed like that by the police... being at the hospital and not knowing what had happened to me, getting that rape kit done, being photographed again, going through the trial, having all of that graphic evidence laid out for all to see.....that would have been way worse than the initial crime. Maybe that's just me. But I can not imagine going through that hell...

Yeah she really asked for it by having that rape kit done

There's no evidence that she went behind the dumpster willingly at all, and the "huge mess" is BECAUSE HE RAPED HER.

The rape charges were dropped so he didn't rape her.

You don't have to teach your girls that all men are dirtbags. But do teach your girls and your boys not to get blackout drunk or drink to passing out. Date rape is only one reason it is extremely unsafe.

No such thing as date rape. Rape is rape.

Being argumentative really isn't helpful here.

was she hooking up with him, 2nd base, 3rd base, before she passed out?

did he know that she had passed out during the hook up?

they were both EXTREMELY wasted.

and of course his father will try to defend him.

None of that matters if she did not consent to engage in further sexual activity.

of course it matters. it matters for intent which speaks to what is an appropriate punishment. if I am in a drunken hookup, and both parties are REALLY DRUNK, it may take more than a split second to realize the other person has passed out. I know I had dates in college where one of us passed out and the other rolls over and goes to sleep and waits until morning. But I wouldn't hold it against my partner if they didn't realize I had passed out for 5 seconds!
