6. This is such a sickening story

They all are, but when it seems to come from a random direction like this, it's so deeply disturbing.

My first hidden post came from linking to a feminist site that offering an alternate way of thinking about rape----it was satire, but it upset the jury. I had posted it twice before on DU2.

My second hidden post came from a comment regarding who does participate in rape culture. (not rape; rape culture) This one I expected, and it was actually an experiment of mine.

Those are my only 2 hides, in the going on ten years I've been here.

I bring this up, because I think in a lot of aspects, social media and on-line communication reflect society, which is why I'm heartened by so much feminist activity, and appalled at certain reactions to rape, alleged rape, statutory rape, etc.

This person who 'may have' assaulted kids can certainly be discussed without the disgusting victim blaming. Your post is an excellent example.
