cmon. just put yourself in the place of the woman abused by the Cornell 7. she initially appeared to be in denial, herself. imagine the courage required to relitigate that in court 2 years later, knowing very well the amount of trite “you were asking for it” or “you’re lying” or “I bet you enjoyed it” comments you’re about to take on for the mere potential for justice. it’s just a lot to ask of a victim

It isn’t. Don’t get emotional and do something to punish those who wronged you. Or else they will get off free.

Cmon. They’re cops and the case is still being investigated by the cops and prosecution. The college was a separate institution and even they are not done with giving out said punishments and finding guilty parties I mean the case is being handled.

I am lucky enough to not personally call myself a victim, but I saw my sister’s life spiral downward as she struggled to cope with what had been done to her. I would love nothing more than to see the monster that’s caused her so much pain rot behind bars for the rest of time, or worse. She just wants to move on, and I refuse to impose some moral obligation on her to seek justice, especially with how little our justice system cares to address crimes that disproportionately effect women.

And that’s awesome. How many campus assaults don’t get the luxury of national outrage? Almost all of them. I applaud the victims willing to seek their own justice and deeply admire their courage. I am not comfortable with putting-down those women that aren’t willing to recount their trauma under the intense scrutiny of a courtroom. Seems more than understandable.

i spoke of what happened to me and nothing happened… it’s not as easy as to “tell a cop” when we do nothing happens or this get a “punishment” like for an example write an essay. please.

i compromised my studies to go through the whole time- and labor-intensive process of providing everything the cops asked. they did absolutely nothing in the end except make the perp aware he was being investigated and thusly put me in an unsafe situation.

also telling someone who has had the most emotionally exploitative act that can ever happen to anyone ‘don’t get emotional’ shows a concerning lack of sympathy for/understanding of the topic. please take a gender studies class or spend some time listening to survivors for your own benefit if no one else’s.

Then by that logic don’t expect judgment to be passed.

As sad a state of affairs it may be, I generally don’t expect judgment to be passed. I would love to see it, but rarely do in-practice, and thus my primary concern is and always will be the well-being of the victim themselves. Not the catharsis of the onlooking masses. If a friend of mine wishes to go to court/the admin, I’ll support them every step of the way. The conversation does NOT start with me telling them what they “should” do. That would be fucking ridiculous.

the conversation wasn’t about expecting judgement to be passed. proper judgement is usually not passed even in cases with a ‘perfect victim’ who follows everything they’re ‘supposed’ to do to a t and had a repeat offender jump out of a bush and violently grab them. but the real world doesn’t work in absolutes like that, and cases like this are incredibly difficult to prove, even with dna evidence.

Brother. How lonely was your childhood? You’ve got a tatertot algorithm & you’re trolling on Girl Talk. Go to therapy. Stop making your relational trauma everyone else’s problem.

I’m just addressing the whole elephant and trying to to let everyone understand the whole story

there are two finite possibilities here: (1) you don’t know the whole story and have no business talking (2) you were there the whole time, understood what was going on, let it happen, and have no business talking

None of us know the entire story but tons of people are leaving out important details

you don’t need to know every detail of a stranger’s assault to be sorry that happened to someone under any circumstances? are you new to this planet? this person is looking for emotional support, not a criminal conviction

Answer the question if you aren’t a bot.

Don’t bother explaining anything to it. It’s either a bot or an underdeveloped, traumatized male. Either way, it’s programmed to be incurious, & it doesn’t have the capacity for/interest in human empathy.
