Wonder if she had all of the toilet paper in her bra giving her bigger boobies like Dean Wormers daughter did?

Help, I have been raped when she spread her legs and got layed (?) and scared!
Wowza. That's potentially one of the most sexist, chauvinistic, offensive comments I've ever read. Add that one to the Earp hall of fame.

Fact is, we DON'T know if the girl was raped. All we have is her word. And, being the fact that I work with female survivors of domestic violence (which, believe it or not, does include MARITAL RAPE) I'm inclined to believe her. Sure, we all hear about the "girl who cried rape". But, in reality, that occurs a very small fraction of the time (a study I read stated that the FBI crime statistics showed false rape reporting occured in 2% of cases, though it has been acknowledged that this number does fluctuate according to various reports, 2% being the lowest I've seen, and 8.6% being the highest).

What was she doing at a frat house? Why did her mother "let" her go? Why was she drinking? WHAT DOES IT MATTER? Let's all think back to when we were 16. I don't know about you, but I went to fraternity parties. My mom knew I was going, too (my boyfriend was a member of the house). Even if she didn't-have you ever tried to tell a 16 year old no? Rarely works-they'll figure out a way around it.

Back to the fact of the matter-if she had sex without giving consent, she was raped. No woman "deserves" to be forced to engage in sexual activity against her will, I don't care if she's walking down the street naked. To minimize her experience is only further victimizing her.
